    Minoxidil (Rogaine / Regaine)

    Which Rogaine? I have been using Rogaine for Women 2% for 4 months. My hair is 99% back now. It worked well. There usually are not too many side effects with that one. Maybe it is the steriod making you feel bad. I guess you can figure out which one is bothering you. Good luck.

    Quality of Regrowth if Androgenetic Alopecia?

    Hair regrowth I have been on Rogain for 2 months and have nice regrowth. They seem like normal hairs. My derm. said they may begin as wispy hairs and then return to normal. It all takes time. You can't give up. Also, I color my hair and that makes it look even better. The new hairs look nice. I...
