Hair, Scalp and Skin 'Itchies'

[Helyn]

Hi all.  I just wanted to say that if you are using Nioxin products and are not liking the high cost, and if you have a decent relationship with your hairdresser, ask that person if they would get you the larger sizes (usually litres) at THEIR prices.  The prices they pay at the restricted-to-only-licensed-persons shops are much lower.  If they sell it at the salon, this may be difficult for them to do - to get you lower prices.  If they don't sell it, I'd bet they'd do it for you.  My hairdresser certainly knows I am having a problem (tons less hair, but I told her it is menopause and meds I am taking) and she is very sympathetic and had no problem doing this for me.  I use their shampoo and cream conditioners in the fall and winter, and their shampoo and light spray in conditioner (called Glee) in the summer.  I hate their hairspray so I use the lightest touch of another non aerosol spray but not enough to get my scalp coated.  One other recommendation to help save money is that if you use the Aveeno cream in the large tube - you can purchase the same product in the "baby" version and it is less expensive.  Don't ask me why.  I didn't believe it either when someone gave me the tip. Anyway, with all the other costs we are incurring with tx, I am always glad when I can save some bucks, especially coming into colder weather when skin and scalp itchies are bound to start up/get worse for us again.  Best wishes.........Helyn

Scoutdill, I really don

GO GALEN! My sentiments exactly. One of the many reasons why I no longer am in the business. Family and "friends" being the worst offenders. I am finally somewhat out of the twilight zone and am beginning to feel better after not responding to the tx. I believe I was another person for the last 3 months and would rather wait for better treatments than to go through that again. I have nothing but admiration and respect for you for the long haul that you have been on and the many supportive moments you have shared with me to try to keep me goin. I would have stayed on because of you if the **** would have worked. Anyway don't let any  yahoo on this board ruin your very wonderful giving and caring ways. If you need ANYTHING right now I can be there in 20 minutes.   1 week after stopping is a good thing to look toward.    xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

I'm 1b on shot #7 pegasys. I'm doin pretty good except very tired. I started out fuzzin duct and worked my way up to commercial estimator (some days I would prefer fuzzin).
Did they test you at wk 12 and cleared or just at wk 24?
Very happy to hear you cleared and are almost done.
What part of the country do you live in? I'm in Spokane WA.
The economy has not been good to us here.
