A brilliant post, Grovster. I second it.

I'd say when two and two equals four, two and two equals four. You've definitely been exposed to a chemical. I don't know if the reaction is because you've breathed it in or if it has rubbed - even slightly - against your skin. You're obviously very much allergic to something. I would place my bets ...

Hairloss is deeply distressing for women AND men. Hair is part of our identity and attractiveness. My sister has lost a lot of her hair. It is something that she can't do anything about now.

Eating a sugar-free hard candy when you're craving something sweet sounds like a good idea, stream26. I suffer terrible chocolate cravings myself. As for the water trick: unfortunately it doesn't work for me. I've tried it: and it still never works. I guess hunger is something that can't be stopped ...
