After taking the third shot, about a month later I woke up and all of my hair was on my pillow, when I got up and proceeded to the bathroom to comb my hair, it all feel out. This was a nightmare. My doctor did not inform me of any side effects and still has not. I had to purchase a wig and I missed days of work because of my appreance and my emotions. I am still dealing with this on a day to day basis. And to top it off, the cyst grew to the size of a grapefruit, so the shot worked against me instead of for me and my doctor has not yet spoken to me about what happened. This is so painful and hurtful for me. Toni1987 Wed, 22 Mar 2006 00:00:00 GMT
