I was worried he was going to over medicate me -now he wants more blood tests and says the TSH needs to be 5.0 before he prescribes. I have gained 35 pounds in the last year and am exhausted and depressed much of the time.

This is only for an article I'm working on.
currently the government has gone to great lengths to ban trans fats from restaurants and from our diets. On the otherhand quite a few people are saying that it is our constitutional right to eat unhealthy food and give ourselves heart attacks. What do you think?
Should the government go this far as to banning trans fat or should they take another approach like warning labels.
I mean adults consuming trans fats. I understand the ban with children eating them.

Ok, so I have been anorexic for years, and then all of the sudden it switched over to binge eating and bulimia. Sometimes I don't purge after a binge... I have gained 20 pounds in 3 months and I really hate it. Is this common? What can I do? I just want a freaking happy medium.
No mean comments please. Well actually mean comments might be alright since I really am just a fat lard and maybe some motivation will help.
But seriously, only answers from those who know what I'm going through, please.

About once or twice a year I get a problem with blurred vision in one eye. It starts off as a little white area and slowly grows until my peripheral vision disappears. It usually lasts for about 2 hours and improves when I sit in the dark. Is this a migraine of some sort without the pain?

I shave everything. I would really prefer to wax but am never willing to grow my hair out long enough for the wax. I've seen a lot of answers in regards to hair removal cream. Has anyone used one that really worked? If so, is it safe to use on the ENTIRE bikini area? I shave everything.

With a lack of curvy women in the media, many women may see their large breasts as undesirable. With so much talk about breast reduction, I often wonder: Are there any large breasted women who see themselves as the voluptuous godesses that they are?

I've already asked this question but got little feedback, so I'm trying again. When I wake up in the morning my mouth is filled with saliva - my whole mouth. I can't swallow it because its disgusting and for some reason i don't swallow it in smaller amounts during the night like normal people. My sis has the same problem, why is this? And is there a way of fixing it?

I have this odd pain in my left knee that I usually can't feel unless I'm sitting indian style, or have my left foot pulled back. Whenever I'm training jiu-jitsu and my left knee cap is in contact with the mat with my foot pointing toward my back, I feel it, and it hurts like a mother.

It feels like there is a vein or something on the surface of my kneecap, that when the skin is tightened around the kneecap the vein is more exposed and sensitive, when it makes contact with something there is pain.

I'm not sure if that is a fair assessment but it's moreso a guess. Can anyone give me an idea of what's going on?
