Yesterday I developed two large boils that quickly turned to swollen lumps on my neck and jaw. I saw a doctor today, and I am now on antibiotics... but he says these infections are very resistant and that other measures might have to be taken if the infection doesn't clear in a week. Anyone have similar issues? It came on so suddenly, it was bizarre... but I read up on staph at WebMD and apparently that's not uncommon. Worries me, though. Especially since the resistant infections sometimes have to be cleaned surgically. :( Any insight from the medical profession or from personal experience (or the experience of family/friends) is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I have two pockets near the back of my throat (one on either side)which I think are connected to my sinuses/ears/etc. Every now and then they produce these strange off-white , foul smelling, crumbly lumps of matter which seem to be totally harmless but are very irritating as they sometimes get stuck there and will not budge. I've never met anybody else who gets anything like this. What is the weird stuff? Please! I've been wondering about this for ears.

it makes me nervouse that i don't eat. i love eating, i'm just not hungry. i don't have belimea or anerexia or anything like that, but i almost always skip breakfast and lunch. i only eat dinner because i have to eat it with family. if i eat breakfast it would be a cup of cocoa or a small yogurt. lunch i only eat when i'm with my friends when they are buying lunches. i buy one too because i have the money and i have no reason not to. eating doesn't change the way i feel. i don't get full, i don't get more hungry, an di don't feel sick when i do eat. i just don't feel the need to eat. well, thats not completely true. i have an eating problem called hypoglocimia. it's the opposite of diabetes. most people with this have to make sure they always have food in them. i don't i ignore it exept when it gets bad, then i eat bread or cheese which makes the feeling of blood sugar drop go away. i don't know what this means or what i should do. help please?

As previously mentioned i have the following problem. I have knee pain in both knees on the outsides of each kneecap. When running i can sometimes feel a crunch with severe pain. Also standing for long periods can cause pain.... the pain comes and goes and some days are better then others..... to me the pain seems to be more from bone then soft tissue.

Now recently the pain is also more noticable on the inner lower part of the knee cap of both knees... I played contact sports for over 16 years.
Any ideas what it may be?

Hi, im a highschool student, trying to drop about 20-25 pounds. There is no time limit but i would like to drop the weight and maintian it. I am 16 (turning 17 in a month) and female.

So what i thought i wiould do is
- since i dont eat breakfast i would drink the "slimfast meal replacement" drinks for breakfast for nutrition.. and possibly for lunch
- im not really up for replacing supper with the drink..
- Go to the YMCA on tuesdays for 1 hr workout and 1 hr yoga

Would that be enough? How many hours should i work out per week to lose weight? is one hour (workout) enough? and one hour of yoga would it help? should i go more often? twice a week?

How can i use slimfast milkshakes and protein bars to lose weight? what are some good weight lost kits?

HELP PLEASE!

i jsut want to drop 20-25 pounds, 30 at max
