The hair is growing in and they are still doing injections in the same spots? I did one round (2 shots, same day) in one spot once. When I went back for the next ones she said that the hair was growing in and she didn't need to inject again. Its been growing in that area every since.

I would say that it all depends on how your body responds to the injections to determine if the hair will fall back out. For me, the injections worked for a few years and then my body stop responding to the medicine. This lend to all of my hair falling out. Recently, I have been using this hair oil name Simplicity Hair Oil Blend that is made with all natural oils, and my hair is responding to it slowly. The website is http://www.simplicity-oil.com/.You should check it out.

Hi, I personally did not like the injections. They hurt, they made me sick and nauseated. I did them for a year. Uh uh no more for this chick. Do you not find they hurt?

They hurt that bad???
My spots are like numb when the hair falls out, I take it that's not the same for you two? I could hardly feel the shots. I can dig my fingernails into the spots and only feel the pressure, that's how numb they are every day :-/
