Never had any trouble with it although everyone admits the shots hurt, possibly because the stuff is cold from the refridgerator. I was told it takes 4 to 6 wks to make a difference, but I did see a benefit in 2 wks and I've been doing ok on it since.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing your SCT experience. I'm scheduled for SCT this June and have been wishing for more info.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there!<BR/>JenJen Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02599142356144271961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338577249102464469.post-41440914931115241532007-03-13T16:00:00.000-07:002007-03-13T16:00:00.000-07:00I'm still waiting for my hair to show some growth ...I'm still waiting for my hair to show some growth - lucky you.<BR/><BR/>Kind Regards<BR/><BR/>Henkhenkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719235397393552377noreply@blogger.com
