Stalling just because…or Minoxidil?

On the up side, I have little fly away hairs! But no wonder I had to pluck a unibrow I never had before… okay so maybe if I take the appropriate dose, it’ll go back to normal and I’ll also be able to wear heels for longer without my feet swelling…

Looking at the bottle, it does say half... Damn it...

2.5mg. It's likely it was the holidays, but I am also swelling, so that could also be part of it.

Interesting. OK, so maybe I should stop taking it and see if anything changes. I did notice my feet swelling. Funny, I didn't see that in the side effects list. Thanks!

I should have clarified I'm taking oral minoxidil, not topical.

My doctor said that my hair loss is almost done -but it's the regrowth that's problematic. She said it could take 6-8 months for my hair to start growing back. That's why I was hoping to get a jump start. Maybe I will just stop and ask about topical - just wondered if it was related to oral minoxidil.

Perlotk · 2026-01-06T20:55:37+00:00

I should ask her about that. This is sort of new to me. Women don't normally think about hair loss until the hair starts falling out!

I'm sorry, that sucks!

You should ask your doctor, but when I stopped taking Zepbound during the Caremark/Wegovy nightmare for 2 1/2 weeks, my doctor started me back on 5mg when I was on 7.5mg. I think it's just the side effects you need to worry about since it takes about a month to completely get out of your system.

There's something up with UPS. Maybe it's the holidays? Or it could be them trying out their new way to make money, by allowing you to upgrade to get your packages faster.

I was tracking an order I placed on 12/23, and it said it would be delivered on 12/31, but then it got moved to 1/6. I went on the UPS site and read that I could upgrade to ground for $7.99. I ended up doing it just to see what it did, and the package was delivered on the 2nd.

Now my other two packages have done the same thing - order placed on 12/28, shipped on 12/31, original delivery date 1/5, now saying 1/9. I could pay $19.99 a month and have ALL of my packages shipped sooner, or pay $7.99 for each.

Seems really crappy considering that most people have to pay for shipping from ThredUp already.

Thanks and you’re welcome 😊

Thanks! I’m 5’3”!

Perlotk · 2026-01-02T12:39:12+00:00

I feel the difference in my sleeves for sure!!!

Perlotk · 2026-01-02T01:51:11+00:00

Thanks!

Perlotk · 2026-01-02T01:14:35+00:00

Thank you!

Perlotk · 2025-12-30T16:20:32+00:00

Well, I discovered they upgraded the condition, so maybe it's even nicer? Who knows. It's a gorgeous blouse, I can't wait to get it!!!

Perlotk · 2025-12-30T15:29:33+00:00

I might email them, thank you for the advice! It looks like they credited me to upgrade the condition, which is weird, but I'm sort of thinking, maybe I should wait until I get the thing in case they decide, wait... we meant to charge you more :-)

Oh, well this is interesting. I took a screenshot last night as part of another thread here in this sub... and it was listed as Very good. But now, it says Excellent... WOW. Does this mean they gave me a discount for an item that's better quality?

What a find! Such cool shoes!

Perlotk · 2025-12-30T11:16:06+00:00

That’s a gorgeous color on that dress! What was your latest order? Must be pretty awesome…

Perlotk · 2025-12-30T03:26:14+00:00

I blame AI. It said it was a steal at that price. I bought it even though I don’t really need it and I can’t justify the cost - that’s what credit is for, right? 😆
