Has anyone else had this pain? I am only 14 years old so I think this is unusual.

I'm 6ft tall and I weigh 145. I've been up to 160 (in high school) and down to 135 (diagnosed w/ Anorexia Nervosa). I'm within the "normal" weight range, but my body type doesn't look right to me. My length is all in my legs so I don't have much of an upper torso/waist which makes me self conscious. I have thin arms/legs except my thighs but my stomach bothers me the most. i've obsessed over it for 4 years now & done EVERYTHING minus surgery & laxatives. Diets, pills, patches, aerobic exercise/weights, fasts, purging, restricting calories, diuretics, drinking LOTS of water, & a couple of very dangerous/illegal substances to lose weight which have worked but I'm so obsessed with the shape of my stomach/back that I can't handle it anymore. I've also had problems with depression. I'm nervous about seeing a therapist. I want to email someone. i go to U of M but i don't want to bother my parents with this. (this is more extensive than you think so be sensitive to that please) thanks

- my mother is paralyzed on her left side due to a recent stroke
- she can read and loves to work crossword puzzles, but can't find an adjustable. easy-to-use, storable lap/bed-desk
- also would love ideas/resources for storing things that she needs easy access to next to her bed
- hospital nightstands are worthless, and so are their over-bed tables - any help?

I went on holiday for a month and did ALOT of exercise and ate very healthily.
I have just got back home and everyone has noticed that i have lost alot of weight and my clothes and ALOT looser, even my bras are too big,
But when i stepped on the scale i was only two pounds lighter. how is that possible? I once lost 6 pounds with no one noticing and my clothes not being that loose and now only two pounds and this much effect.
How can i have lost only two pounds and be a dress size smaller?

How long will it take to grow back? Basketball season is about to start up, what should i do to protect it and prevent this from happening again?

Have any of you taken up smoking and started feeling really bad? Like, lungs feeling heavy and stuff? I started smoking a few months ago average of 4 a day. All of the sudden my lungs started feeling bad and it was a little hard to breath. (needless to say, I don't smoke anymore.) I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Because I have asked some die hard fans of smoking if they ever have and they say that they just feel normal.

I suffer from hypochondria. I am always thinking that I have something. A simple ache or pain freaks me out. I always assume the worst. It's NOT healthy. Its horrible. It causes me to freak out and then my stomach will hurt. I have a lot of stress in my life, handling everything at once but never having a release (a walk, exercise, etc). I refuse to take medications because I don't like putting substances into my body. I do not drink, smoke, etc..but before you say anything, I still know how to be the life of the party and have fun. I want to know if I am alone out there or if anyone goes through this too. Please no one put me down, this is serious. Any solutions?

About one month ago, I had a horrible ear infection in my left ear. The doctor gave me some meds, and I used them all up for the full duration. Then about two weeks later, the ear infection returns but it's not as bad. This time, the doctor gave some different ear drops.

Then, out of the blues, I suddenly get an ear infection in my right ear. I don't know why this is happening to me. My left ear is basically normal now, but my right ear is throbbing with pain.
