I was just diognoised with an underactive thyroid - and my doctor said this is more than likely the reason I havn't been able to lose weight - so my question is, when and if he places me on medication, will I begin to lose weight?? I eat healthy and exercise, just can't lose it due to this reason.

So it's been a little over a month since I smoked some pot. I only smoke maybe once every other month if that. I here it takes 90 day since the last time you smoked to pass a hair test. Since I rarely smoke would it be less days for me. Would I come up positive but not enough for them to do anything about it? I need some more input on this. I will have a good paying job. If I pass the stupid test.

I'm having pelvic pain.I have been having cramps when I have my period but that is usual for me.only thing is i now have the pain on my right pelvic side only and it feels like constant pressure.not the normal cramps that im used to. I've also been experiencing other symptoms lately...I have occasional pain there when I move suddenly and during intercourse. I'm also bleeding very slightly in between periods since my period was a week ago. I'm also as of today experiencing bleeding during intercourse. I know all the precautions of having sex and my boyfriend and I are using condoms. I would like ppl to please not make cheap and rude comments to me or my boyfriend about us having sex...it's our personal life...I just need some medical and or personal experience advice....I have no insurance and currently have no money so going to the doctor is a little out of the question unless totally neccesary...

I'm from a small town, and just moved to the city to live with my bro for school.
At first I did ok, but as a few weeks went by I found myself staying inside more, now I don't like leaving at all. I have a great job, but I don't want to go there either. I don't talk to anyone at school. I'm not much of a people person, and so now people avoid me because they think I'm weird.
I feel so lost, and not like the old me at all. I feel empty.
I want to go back to my small town where I am happy, but my parents spent weeks arranging for me to come here and I agreed to go. I would have to take distance ed back home but I think it's worth it
My friends might be moving here the next semester, but I don't think I can take this place that long, and now if I go back home they'll be coming here.
To top it off my parents know I'm on anti-depressents and say that I'm not in my right mind to decide anything. I know people think it's best for me, and I've tried getting active etc. but I'm not happy here.

I am also a a tennis pro, but the arthritis is getting to the point that even teaching is becoming difficult with swollen joints in my elbow in my playing arm, my ankle and in all of my metatarsals in my feet. I can no longer play tennis anything like I used to and lose matches to people I should easily beat.
I've tried Glucosamine, Omega 3, I exercise regularly and commute on my bicycle every day, but I am still in pain despite taking 12-16 hundred milligrams of ibuprophen every day.
AM I kidding myself in thinking that things will get better and I can persue my career path, or should I cut my losses and move on?

I have recently been told I have an under active thyroid problem - due to Im guessing, gaining 150 pounds in a few years time, being pregnant back to back 3 times and using the excuse to eat any and everything. I have been trying to lose weight for months, but am not able to, and my doctor said the cause is because my thyroid is underactive.... how do I fix this without medication?.....

My doctor said I don't have a new case of herpes, but the test resulted that I have the 'virus'. He said the test does not clarify the location of the herpes. I've not seen anything on my groin or it's surrounding, and I did have a blister on my lip....which evidently 90% of us get at one point in our life.

Is there a specific test I can take to make sure I don't have type 1 or type 2 down there?

He said the tests specificially for type 2 where inaccurate and that if I didn't have painful blisters down there, that I shouldn't worry (about either type down there)....although browsing the internet tells me that you could get either type and have no symptoms or blisters.

Again, what specific test (name please)...tests if I have it down there? Or is it just a shot in the dark and I have to wait and see if I affect someone or not? I'd like to think there's a bit more clarity to this....

Anybody in the San Gabriel, Pasadena or Arcadia area (California) that will recomend a good female doctor. One that really takes the time with a patient { I do not want to sound racist, but I prefer one that is not Asian; never had good experiences with them}

so, i feel like i'm diabetic.
the reason i say this is because
1) i'm slightly overweight. (BMI is way too high 5'4", 174lb)
2) my uncle has diabetes (the kind diagnosed when you're older)
3) i've had two yeast infections in the past month
4) i'm ridiculously slow healer. (i got cut with a pocket knife about 5 weeks ago, and granted it was a fairly deep cut, im still not healed.) (another example, i had a blister on the top of my foot from june to july, not as deep, and it still took a long time to heal. and even though it was like one layer of skin, it scarred)
5) i feel very slow. like, if i havent eaten, i feel dumb. haha like i take a long time to answer a simple question. and its been pointed out to me.
6) i never really feel hungry, just like i could drink an ocean. i will literally sit in the dining hall and just drink while all my friends are pigging out. it makes me feel anorexic, but im just so thirsty.
i dunno, maybe i'm just overreacting
but should i be concerned?

I have a live in b/f of 1.5 years that has been taking care of his Mom w/ lung and now brain cancer. She has been given 6 wks to live and is scared but still fighting. He stays every other night (her wishes). I support him and help as much as possible. We r a team on that level, but everything else is crumbling. We bicker when 2gether, no intimacy. I feel like we can't wait for each other to leave, but then we miss one another. His father passed 10 yrs. ago, he is 26 and acting 16 when at home. Smart aleck, hateful, and then sorry. I feel like his mother. I keep feeling that if it were not for the circumstances I would kick him out! And I feel so guilty for that. We love each other, but there are rarely real smiles around here anymore when we are 2gether. He ignores me and everything else (but the dog!) until he needs something it seems, he is relying on me for Everything and wearing me out. I don't know what to do, any thoughts on death/caretaking or how loved ones acted are welcome.

I have an issue with something gently resting on my collarbone (something as simple and light as hair, or being touched with a finger) or on my floating ribs, sometimes even on the bridge of my nose, and even though it's not painful or anything, it is really uncomfortable.
