After 8 months my doctor prescribed me minoxidil...

We tried many different sprays shampoos changing diets correcting deficiencies etc but mst of it had little to no effect. I corrected my vitamin d not long ago and started seeing baby hairs, but they are not changing in 2 months. My doc said it's because the follicles had been weakened and something needs to stimulate it. Like minoxidil. I will be microneedling 1 time a week and minoxidiling 5 times, and the other 2 days I will be using a hair spray with vitamins keratin and other good stuff for thickening the hairs. I'm excited but also scared that it won't work. If it does work I will slowly hop off minox once the density is back and will be documenting my journey here. Wish me luck to beat my 15 months ongoing TE
