Re: How long do you think I have??
HaHa! Kudos for you! That's the spirit! As for the wig irritation, I seem to recall that my hair follicles were a bit tender with the first 2 infusions and then seemed to settle down nicely. There are caps that are made of nylon (I think) that can be worn beneath the wig. I believe their purpose it to conceal existing hair, but should also serve to protect your tender scalp. Others may have thoughts/experiences regarding scalp soreness. It will soon be 6 years and I find I am forgetting details of treatment, sorry.
