Just came back from getting my shots.  Wow they hurt.  Asked the Doc if I should shave my hair and she said that if it were her she would not shave it.  So I will wait.  Also told me to try Rogaine for men in foam form along with the prescription  cream.  Has anyone tried the Rogaine?  I will keep you informed of the results.

Thank you Tallgirl, but my childbearing age is now gone.  I am 47.  Does it have any other side effect?  I will look it up before I buy.  Thanks again.

DO NOT use Rogaine or Minoxodil if you are a female of childbearing age. Read the label.

Rogaine for Men Foam works better on the scalp so if you have hair it is annoying trying to get it the scalp

this is why I cut my hair to 1 inch or less all the way around---Trust me it was the best thing I ever did because it made total sense!

Read my POST under AA at 40 YES It is working for me right now. I' m suppose to come off all

treatments in Jan so I'm scared I want to hold on to everything that is helping me. Doctors seem to

think that I will be fine---It is so unpredictable

By the way the girl at the front office didn't realize I had a wig on till I told her.  She told me it looked really natural.  She was wondering why I was there for head shots.  That made my day.  I will post a pic of me with the new wig soon.  Love that I can talk to you guys it really helps.  Thanks.
