Im 15, about 130lbs, and im 5'10, kinda cute too, lol. But the point is I love food, eat well, but never seem to gain anything. Doctor says its my matabilsm, which is true, but when I sit down and be lazy and eat, I still don't gain weight. Been told it takes time, let age do the rest, but im just looking for some suggestions from people.

Make it legal, and there's a whole lot of lost income....never mind how pointless the continued treatment is.

A 43-year-old man with no significant medical history presents to his primary care provider (PCP) complaining of a "wound that won’t get better" on the left side of his neck. He states that the wound has been slowly growing over the past 2 years after it first appeared as a small pimple. In his efforts to heal the wound, he has used a variety of over-the-counter topical remedies such as hydrogen peroxide and triple antibiotic ointment; however, the wound has continued to spread and worsen. He was finally encouraged to visit his PCP when his brother noticed the now several-centimeters-long lesion (see Images 1-2). The patient denies having weight loss, fevers, or chills. He has not traveled during the past 5 years.

On physical examination, the patient is somewhat overweight. His vital signs are normal except for a blood pressure of 165/93 mm Hg. The examination of the head, eyes, ears, and nose is unremarkable. The patient has a 10-cm ulcer at the collar line on the left side of his neck. A homemade dressing that the patient had placed on this lesion contains a small amount of serosanguineous fluid. No lymphadenopathy and no masses are noted around the neck or in the armpits. The patient’s lungs are clear, and his heart rate is regular with normal heart sounds. The rest of the physical examination findings are unremarkable, except for numerous small hyperpigmented macules on the patient’s chest and back.

What is the most likely diagnosis, and what is the diagnostic test of choice?

Hi:

People who are asking questions that list multi psych diagnoses(maybe more than 2 or 3) are being well, I am not ridiculed is the correct word. I think a little too harsh maybe, but I hope you are understanding what I am trying to convey.

I have just read 2 postings that had responses make me feel badly for the person asking the question. It actually happened to me the other night and I was a little upset. I can only speak for myself and not others, but I felt belittled in my knowledge in general, knowledge in myself, knowledge in that I do not have a grasp on my illnesses because they never hear of someone with more than 2 maybe 3 psych issues and I should check with my physician and if my physician agrees with the multi diagnoses then I need a new doc because he is obviously wrong.

I've looked at two questions now and I am really pissed off. Just because someone is overweight does not make them unworthy of things. I'm overweight which is caused by my medications. I have fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis in my knees. To most i would appear to be healthy but I'm not. You see fibromyalgia is a serious disease that never goes away. Maybe if some of you jerks that seem to think you're god because you're skinny would look up things you would see that we don't get handicap stickers for being "fat" it is for actual medical conditions that you would never be able to handle. Believe me if you losers had this for a half hour you'd be screaming for your mommies within 30 seconds, so instead of showing your ugliness and hate why don't you people try to learn and understand things. I just wait for you to age and get sick and have people tell you that you're pathetic and shouldn't have one. I'd rather be ill dealing with this than be a pathetic loser like some of you are.

I recently found out that I have hpv. I am worried that the guy at the front desk at my clinic might have access to that information. Well the problem with this is that I made the horrible mistake of sleeping with him. Although maybe he has a right to know, I can't discuss that with him because he doesn't comprehend certain things and he has a lot of problems. In other words he is a moron/stalker/psychotic type of a guy and he might just assume i gave him hpv without knowing all the facts. Since I have been going to this clinic for years I don't want him gossiping about my personal buisness with the other employees. So does he know?

Can anyone recommend a remedy to combat bloatedness after eating, lately I feel really bloated after eating just about anything and often only very small meals. I feel really sick and am tempted to go and throw up because its so uncomfortable and my stomach swells up. I would prefer a herbal remedy but any suggestions would be welcome.

Are legislators ignorant enough to outlaw shooting your neighbor to death but making poisoning your baby or cutting their neck and vacuuming their brain legal?

I can't believe that it is the 21st century and we allow women to have this barbaric treatment to their children. People are debating spanking your child yet there are people killing them in the womb. Crazy!

Recently I had a dish with chicken, shrimp, crawfish tails, white wine sauce and cheese. I started itching 2 hrs later and by the morning I had a rash all over. Now I've had this same meal many times and have never had this kind of reaction. Was this a one time thing or could I have developed an allergy to shellfish?

Please, if anyone can help I would be forever greatful. I was just told I have osteoarthritis in both knees. I was give cortisonce injections into each knee 2 weeks ago today. The swelling is the same. 3 days ago I was started on Lodine every morning for paid & swelling. The knees are the same. I am scared I have to cancel my July 7th wedding. I would never be able to stand for a wedding/reception. Everything is paid for. Also, my future inlaws purchased us a honeymoon package of 10 days in Italy to visit family. I could never walk the airport, let alone Italy. I don't want them to lose money but they did not purchase insurance. If I don't go, we all lose. The doc says if the swelling goes down, my knees will feel better, but nothing has worked. I've rested and iced both knees for about 4 weeks. If anyone can suggest something I can try or tell my doctor to do, please tell me. What is supposed to be the most important day of my life will soon be my worst. Thank you

I power walk to and from work 5 days a week. It is a total of 10 miles a day and usuallly hike one weekend day with my husband. This is my 4th week walking. I have lost inches in my waist and arms, bust as well. I tried on some jeans that I know should fit and I wasn't coming close. I have for sure gained and inch or two on my hips. I feel much more toned, but I really was hoping to get back into some clothes. What am I doing wrong? I am sooooooooooooooo discouraged......I am really close or at a healthy weight and I know its not easy to get there, but I am working so hard.
