Health - 7 February 2007

I've been having these symptoms and am thinking either a thyroid disorder or anemia. What else could it be? I'm a 17 year old girl if that helps. I know I should just go to the doctor, but my mom wont get me an appt. unless I can find a feasible reason as to why I should go.

-Increased tiredness ( I usually get by on 6 hours a day but lately i've been needing 10-12 or else I can't function)

-Dizzyness (if I get up to fast or turn around quickly i get dizzy/ black out)

-unexplained weight gain (like I woke up a few weeks ago and couldn't fit into my pants. no changes in exersize or eating)

-gas no matter what I eat

-occasional headaches

-acne breakouts (I have a perscription for medicine to contain it, which has always worked until now)

-I can't concentrate at all my mind is always wandering.

Ok been happily married 16 yrs but for yrs it seemed like i had a higher sex drive then husband but for the last yr his sex drive has seemed to gotten higher and wants to do it more..this is NOT a problem BUT a BLESSING. Last night he said he wanted to start giving me oral which he has never done before(This has never bothered me cause he totally satisfies me during sex)He said he has been wanting to do this for awhile but didnt know how i would feel about it..So my question is what could have brought on this WONDERFUL change and NO im not complaining just wondering that all..I love giving him oral..By the way he is 42

So im a senior in high school, male, 5ft11, 170lb, with a waist size 30. I would say i have a pretty athletic build but unlike most guys I have huge thighs. For most guys this would be a good thing but to me this is a problem. They're really not that huge but they
make it hard for me to fit into jeans such as diesel or 7 jeans. The most interesting part is that it's all very toned muscle so I cant exercise because that would just make my legs bigger than it already is. I guess my goal would be to fit into a pair of jeans that is my actual waist size, a 30, without have to buy a bigger size just because of my thighs. Any suggestions??

Ever since I was 10, I had a lot of trouble getting sleep.
I really don't know what the problem. I now sleep around 12:00 'o clock at midnight...
Probably because i think to much about things (Homework, Family Issues, etc.) before going to bed.
What's wrong with me? Has this ever happened to you? What do you if you can't get enough sleep?

Can anyone tell me why I keep shivering, especially when I sit down, and I'm not even cold? I've been colder and never shivered like this before, I shiver and shudder to the point of pain in my lower back and abdomen and I can't stop no matter how I try, does anyone have an idea of what's wrong?

She tells me that her body just doesn't feel right. She's had a headache for about 2 days now...she says her neck hurts too especially when she moves her head in any direction. She started complaining of her throat hurting today, and also saying her muscles were hurting and she described it as cramping. Any ideas what might cause this? I'm calling the dr. tomorrow, but don't know if I should seek medical attention for her sooner. Please help.

If so, how much pain and loss of activity did you suffer before you finally had the surgery ?

Can you use your new knee(s) really well (as in walking and running as much as you want)?
