James Marusek 5,244 Posted October 3, 2014 One of the reasons why people suffer hair loss is that they do not adhere to the Protein requirements. So make sure that you take the Protein supplements each day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beni 1,484 Posted October 4, 2014 Oh, thank you for bringing up boredom. I have started a room in the house where I'll hangout for recovery. I had a C-section with a very slow recovery. I'm not going to get caught in that situation again. Must plan what to do while I "hang out" because I get bored very easily. There is only so much TV I'll be able to watch in a day, right?
