| Older women suffer from androgenic alopecia, just like men, though it is typically not as severe and tends to result in all-over thinning (though some women do get a bare spot at the crown). My hair stylist said it is quite common. Here's what has helped me: topical castor oil - I put a little in a ... |

| Apparently, it can: https://nutritionfacts.org/video/apple-cider-vinegar-help-weight-loss/ The best thing for weight loss, though, is to eat fewer calories. Exercise is really important for overall health, but proportionately it is difficult to burn enough calories through exercise to make a big imp... |

| It could be a dissociative state - I definitely have that. Overall, my symptoms get a lot worse when I'm stressed [the literal interpretations of language, not picking up on social cues such as body language (as in, so bad I don't even realize when someone is about to hit me), mind-blindness].

| I've had a number of times when I was unable to speak. Someone will say something that I find really overwhelming or hurtful and I'm physically unable to respond.
