I'm 14 years old and 5'6" tall. I weigh anywhere from 110-116 on a given day. I've always been insecure about my appearance, and I've since lost a pretty dramatic amount of weight. Most people tell me I'm skinny, but I cant help but feel like theyre telling me what I want to hear. My ribs do stick out and I HATE it. Its not because Im weirdly skinny, its just I have a weird ribcage. But the thing Im worried about is lately people have been telling me I need help because I'm showing signs of anorexia whether I realize it or not. I eat though. Just, not enough. On average, I'm lucky if I get 500 calories in a day. Is this bad? Help. Any advice, information, ways to cope, anything would help. Thanks

Two weeks ago I started to have a pain in my left eye, and as days pass the pain became more severe. I felt like I had something in my eye, and it bothered me a lot. Then I notice a strange growth on the corner of the eye. It itches a lot, but the eye is not red or pink.

briefly remarked that the "study did not find that colas affected men similarly." The article said either caffeine or phosphates were the ingredient to blame, and caused bone density problems or prevented bone from forming.

I understand that women seem to be more prone to osteoporosis, but why would the affects of the cola on bones (as experienced by women according to the study) not also apply to men? Is there any difference between the bones in men and women besides the basic amount of bone mass?

I am a senior at high school. Ever since I am at high school I have been sleeping bad at night. I think it is the stress from school that is causing it. Every night I try to go to sleep at 11pm to wake up at 7am. BUt the problem is that I have a hard to fall asleep. It takes me an hour or more to fall asleep then I sleep well with no problems. Is this insomnia or what?

For the past two nights my daughter has woken up with a skin rash on her feet and upper legs that looks like small white bumps and its very itchy. No fever. No mouth sores. No severe redness. Skin gets red from her itching it. She seems fine during the day. Children's benadryl helps alot. The only thing out of the ordinary that sounds like it might be suspicious was that we took her to a pumpkin farm last week where she was playing in some hay and handling some pet rabbits that were at the farm.

I know this teenages (18) who lives in korea and i have been talking to him for a while..He mentioned to me that he has a illness ( or an illness that effects him mentally). He said that the illness causes him to pay attantion to things we usually wouldn’t pay any attantion too...for example when we breathe...we breathe without thinking about it...but he cant do that...he said that he needs to recognize when to take a breathe and when to release it...he said he is having a problem with his every action in a mental way. He also said that the condition effects his whole nervous system.
He has seen many doctors in Korea and none seem to know what the problem is exactly.
If anyone can help this would be greatly appreciatd as i want to help him very much...if you have any ideas or any way to help please give me some information or tell me what you know or think the problem may be...
Thankyou very much

Since February of this year I have had a feeling of fatique, pain throughout all of my extremities, and a felling of burning with fever - although my temperature is normal when I take it. I've been to several doctors, including a rheumetologist, an infectious disease doctor, and a neurologist. All the tests come up negative. My family doctor has said that it might be a virus and I'm just going to have to hope it goes away - OR wait until the symptoms worsen! Has anyone else experienced this? Did you ever find a cause?
