| Thanks so much everyone. May have left this out of original post... I originally thought it might be cancer so I asked for all available blood panels/urinalysis. Doc had a chest x ray done as well. All were clean, in fact I got better read out than 5 years ago. I then followed up with a request for... |

| I know this sounds strange, and those who know me and have worked with me in the past will likely be puzzled as many did not or would not know about this... It is only now that I realize how heavily my life has been hit with having shutdowns. I am looking back and realizing how much I have been hel... |

| Weight loss is caused by less calorie intake than your body uses. Since you have been sick, you haven't been consuming as much calories as usual so the weight shed off.

I for one have an ENTJ profile, though professionals say that I'm likely a better fit for an NVLD profile than a ASD profile... (Oh, and on 16personalities.com, ... |
