Can anyone explain how it is that cholestrol levels change over a periods of time. I understand about cholestrol but why should ones levels change from week to week and from day to day, when the same types and portions of food do not vary.

I cannot understand why one day I have it at 6.3 and another day it is at 4.5.. Please help me to understand. Thank you!

After a missed diagnosis of over a year, my 22 yr old son now has advanced metastatic cancer. We are trying to watch every detail. Even with advanced diagnosis we are told to be hopeful. Chemo will be delayed and I am trying to understand the consequences to my son and his outcome, both for the cancer diagnosis and possible body systems such as bone marrow. I am a nurse, but very frustrated with the hospital systems.

A week ago I got a plantars wart removed from the bottom of my foot. After the freezing of the wart, a decent sized blood blister formed. The blister has not decreased in size in the past 7 days and shows no signs of starting to dry up. Should I keep waiting or go ahead and pop because it is rather painful? thanks : )

I am nearly 17 and have had bad knees and ankles for over 3 years and have now developed pain in nearly every joint in my body. could I have arthritis? I know it is possible for teens to develop arthritis but I just can't tell if I have. I can crack every one of my joints (neck, elbows, shoulders, knees, ankles, wrists, fingers, toes, back, hips, and jaw). Could I have tendonitis or arthritis or neither?HELP!! I am also very stressed out with my lifestyle. I have not been as physically active until now. I used to ride horses but quit and developed more joint pain and am now afraid to go back to riding. I am also in dance but my joints prevent me from thoroughly enjoying myself. Please help me!!!!
