I have it on my scalp and hairline been over a year and not sure how to control it better
can’t afford a doctor or high end meds right now

I have black/brown curly wavy hair
I wear a hijab so my hair isn’t at its best to begin with and am diabetic as well ( could there be a connection to this? not sure)
I have depression and keep my hair short ( stops at the nape of my neck) because hair washing sometimes proves to be difficult esp on the days i struggle to get out of bed and shaves time off/saves product in general

I use Nirozel shampoo and conditioner
I use selsun blue on the days I don’t use the medicated shampoo
Use a shea butter hair mask 1-2x a week
Don’t oil my hair anymore but used coconut-oil onion oil mix in the past
I change my pillow cases weekly

This has been my routine for many months now (6mos) should I be doing something different or use different
What foods/ingredients should I be including for better scalp health/ hair growth
What should I not be doing right now

Not sure how I will be able to handle it
can’t study for that long in between
Currently not working but always looking

Any good napping spots at Concordia?

Ive had these pains for almost a decade been overweight all my life have pcos symptoms type 2 diabetic a long list of allergies and hormonal imbalances so basically a mess.

The aches and pains happen on days
when it rains a lot
It’s very cold or windy
Gets worse at night

I use knee pads or a heating pad to control the pain but not sure what else I can do because the pain lingers and lasts for hours.

What can I eat drink or do to control these pains
Is it just a question of losing weight and getting blood work done or something more deeper than this.

Two days from starting my cycle but having other symptoms like very Sudden sharp pain lower stomach, pelvic area and lower back much like cramps but more severe
Peeing when burning — feels like lightning
