There are so many products to try that I will be nearly 100 before I can try them all. Can anyone give some good recommendations as to where to go for help with hair loss?

I can't provide any input on products, although I have read about laser treatments that have been helpful for some...example here:
Low Level Laser Therapy receives FDA Clearance for the treatment of hair loss IMO, it's one of those, can't hurt/might help options that could be worth exploring, although it's not likely to be cheap, and ongoing treatments would almost certainly be required.
I recently sent Will a "teaser" about research being done on the effects of caffeine...apparently, direct application of caffeine to hair follicles from men with AGA (androgenetic alopecia...the $3.00 term for MPB) grown in culture stimulates the production of hair (see:
Entrez PubMed ). I suggested at the time that this could lead to a topical caffeine formulation for MPB. Evidently, great minds think alike, as this just came out:
Entrez PubMed
So, there may be some new products coming out in the immediate future.
