At the start of the year I lost about 13 pounds in the the time period of 4 months. This was mainly because of my uncle and aunts saying that I was a 'big girl' and stuff like that (I weighted 132 pounds back then, at 5'4"). And it was also because I weighed the most out of all the females in my family (and I'm also the youngest).

For a while I felt good about myself but now the feeling of guilt has crept upon me.

When I don't exercise I feel guilty (I exercise at least 5 days a week, 750-1000 calories per exercising day).

I also try not to eat over 1500 calories per day and if I do, I feel guilty also.

And I don't like weighing myself.

I was just wondering if I had an eating disorder of some sort.

Like if you go to the doctor and get a blood test and your blood is fine, is it possible you could go back three months later and be diagnosed? because of a high WBC count?

So I've seen bits and pieces of the staph infection on the news and there was an announcement about it at our high school. So i was hoping some one could help explaining some things to me. I was wondering if this was or is going to become an epidemic? From what I've heard there are no reported cases of the deadly strain in our area. I live in Wisconsin and I was wondering if I am at high risk catching the infection? and lastly I was wondering should I be worried about this or will I be safe with just using common sense and proper hygiene?

I have had these chest pains since I was about 8 and doctors can't figure it out. They usually come up after exercise, caffine, or a lot of stress. It hurts to breath in and it feels better if I just hold my breath all together. It lessens the pain if I lay in weird positions like twisting my body. Tylonol and stuff like that help but not much. Anyone have any idea what it could be? I am now 19 and I'm tired of not knowing.

I can not take anything for pain. Is there something wrong with me? I could not find the tylenol and took 2 aspirin instead. I have never been allergic to aspirin before. I broke out in hives. My hands itched and my face and the skin on my head swelled badly.
My eyelids were the worse.

I drive by a Duke/Duchess affiliated truck stop each day on the way to work. It's right off a major interstate and the sign out in front has been advertising Choreboys for sale. This was very puzzeling to me at first; why would people who frequent truck stops be interested in buying something to scrub pots and pans with? It seemed to be an unusual thing for a truck stop to advertise.

I did some online research and discovered that Choreboys are also used to facilitate smoking crack cocaine. My conclusion is that this truck stop may be trying to cater to people who engage in that sort of illegal activity. I find this to be very disturbing.especially when so many peoples' lifes have been destroyed by crack.

If there is any other logical explanation for this, I'd like to know. Has anyone else notice truck stops agressively advertising Choreboys? If corporations like Duke/Duchess are targeting illegal drug users as customers, they should be ashamed of themselves!

I am taking it for Rheumatoid Arthritis. The side effects are pretty serious. I don't see much difference in the Rheumatoid Arthritis. I am hoping that I can hear from someone who has had either good or bad effects from this drug. Thanks.

Yesterday evening I was outside for about 15 minutes in the dark...and a couple minutes later, my leg started to itch in a couple places. I went inside and had, what appeared to be, two bug bites. They were swollen...and this morning I itched them a little more than I should have, and now they're completely red, but less swollen. I recently watched a news report on Staph/MRSA and it's freaking me out...(I have an anxiety disorder). It's a bug bite, right? :/ I would have other symptoms if it was Staph/MRSA, right?

A few years back I broke out in a extemely bad case of hives and was on a couple different medications to help take care of it. After they were gone, and throughout the past few years, my skin will start to tingle and itch really bad for about 5-10mins every once in a while ( maybe once or twice a month ). I have no idea what is causing this and when i've gone to see a doctor they can't find anything.

Has anyone ever heard of this or experienced it themselves?
