| 1. You might have some kind of cancer. 2. You might have an intestinal bug. 3. You might have intestinal parasites. 4. You may have thrown your intestinal biome out of whack from something you ate, or from too much stress. 5. If you have been taking meds of any kind, that can affect your intestinal ... |

| Stress is one possibility, another is a diet deficiency, still another is exposure to toxins, including metals. There are also several health issues that can cause this problem, so you should have it checked out, as it's not natural to lose a whole lot of hair in a short time. |

| I tried compression socks on a doctor's advice, and they cut off my circulation, so I never wore them again. You would be helped by either a tub bath or a foot bath with epsom salts added to the water, and then putting your feet up in a recliner, or on a hassock for a while. Keep a throw blanket han... |

| You are obviously stressed out about things going on in your life, which is causing you to overeat, and you are stressing even more over that and the weight it's putting on you. You should try to stop dwelling on the things that are stressing you, by doing things to keep your mind and hands occupied... |

| Thanks for an interesting article. I had a complete hysterectomy almost 15 years ago due to cancer. The biopsy showed it was a really bad type of cancer, but the docs said that they caught it before it could spread. Guess they were right, because I'm still here 15 years later. There is always the ch... |

| Self esteem comes from inside yourself, based on what you do with your life. No one else can give this to you. As for depression, get plenty of rest, eat healthier, get some exercise, engage in activities of interest to you, and take B complex vitamines, as they are mood boosting. I found out by acc... |

| Hope things get better for you soon. Regarding CPAP machines, the new ones tend to be fairlyl quiet. If you sleep with your mouth open you may need to try more than one mask to get a good fit, but it's worth the effort. If you don't sleep with your mouth open, there are nasal inserts that pipe the a... |

This is not a reason to think more or less of someone. There are some who do have a bigger struggle to get thru life... |
