Over the last year or so I have noticed a small "squishy" lump right above my ankle on my lower leg. It is about 1 inch long, squishy feeling, and doesn't hurt to touch. I recently went to my physician and after taking an x-ray he said that he was not sure what it was, and is having me scheduled for an MRI. Also, nearly two years ago I took a rough fall in which my ankle took a hard bump (not sure if it is related). There really isn't any pain in my leg, but there is a discomfort feeling. Any idea what this could be? My physician told me that he was confident it was nothing bad, but I am a bit nervous.

I sleep in the morning and wake up in the evening so my routine is totally opposite of the real one. But I do get my 8 to 9-hour sleep. Is it still unhealthy? Or if you get enough sleep no matter what time, it's the same case as the one where you sleep at the right time?

ok well I have had this before and I have went for many tests for it before and the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with me, than it eventually stopped. Now I am 17 and its back. I can't take it anymore. it gets in the way of my social life too because the only way i can cure it is by going to sleep, than i'm most likely feeling better when i wake up. If I try and go on with my day when I feel like this, i always get so sick, that i throw up and i HATE throwing up. I've been feeling like this monday night, wednesday night and right now i am.
What do you think it could be ?

Thanks,

Hello I am CNA in the Chicago suburbs. I cannot find a job. I applied online to several places and noone EVER calls back. I have been doing this for 9 months with no luck. I even apply for caregiver position which requires no certification but noone calls me to schedule an interview. I have a good resume and excellent grades in my healthcare class and this is reflected in my resume. Please someone tell me why I can get no work. Many thanks.

Ok, well I know why, it's because I smoked for nine years. But I'm on my fourth day smoke-free, and while I'm not expecting to be the picture of health all the sudden, I didn't expect to be suffocating as much as I am.

I know I have COPD, and I plan on going to the doctor. But the previous days of my quit have been met with wonderful breathing, so why the sudden lack of air? Have any of you quit before, and if so, did this happen to you? Will it get better?

Kids, just say no!
