OK, I USED to be "slightly" overweight, but I slimmed down from an XL to an XS in just one year, and I am still shrinking into nothingness (lol). OK, these are some of the things that happen to me daily.
-I eat a lot, and a lot. I eat a lot of stuff during lunch at school so that I will not get hungry, but I get really hungry two hours later, then I pig out at home, and then eat dinner. I am still loosing inches off of my waist
-I used to be really thirty, but not anymore, I am just really hungry. I barely drink anything, but I always have to go to the bathroom (badly).
-slow wound healing, I have had this stupid cut for two months and it hasn't healed :(
-I wear glasses, so do not ask about blurry vision because I am -5. lol.
-I get really bad migraines weekly.

Okie dokie, thanks for your time. :)

I recently had to go to my dentist as my gums were in a bit of a mess,he gave me anti-biotics and mouthwash,which i finished.But now after getting a filling my gums are sore and bleeding again and i think i may have an absess where the filling is,could my dentist be causing the infections?I cant think of any other explanation as i always brush my teeth properly.

I have looked up the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, but this is not it! it's basically stomach blowing up a bit after eating meals, n some uncomfortable feeling as if u need to "pooh" to feel normal again..this is different than irritable bowel syndrome in that u do not continuesly feel as if u need to use the bath room, it's just an uncomfortable feeling, after eating meals that prevents an individual from getting up n going around as s/he would normally would. The symptoms go away after about 2 to 3 hours after the meal has been eaten.

My brain hurts and I'm beginning to get worried. I don't know if it might just be another headache...because it's never happened to me since it started.

For the past few days, the upper right back part of my brain has been "hurting" (brains have no sensitivity, I read?). It happens a like 10+ times a day (actually I don't count) and lasts for a split second...stingy-ish. And during that time, when I turn my head really fast, I find that it either starts hurting again or I feel as if it's gonna come...

for as long as i can remember i've had involuntary twitching in my arms, legs, fingers, toes, wrists and ankles but i never thought much of it. lately i've been experiencing twitching in my head and neck with varying intensity, as if i'm nodding "yes" and "no" along with a burning sensation under my scalp. what can i do to alleviate the twitching? it's really becoming quite annoying. i have a dr appointment next week.
