I have been experiencing problems with my weight for many years, I eat plenty and try and eat foods that are high in protein and carbs, I don't really do any exercise and at the moment I am recovering from an operation so my movement is very little yet I am still unable to put on weight. Does anyone have any tips on anything I can do differently?

i have been on Pregablin for 6 years now. I'm an amputee and suffer badly with phantom pains. I want to stop taking them but fear not only the phantom pains becoming unbearable but also how I may react on other levels. I take 600mg daily. My memory has been badly affected as well as my concentration levels and I feel constantly tired. Has anyone on here sucessfully come off pregablin? I feel that I am a spectator watching my life pass by and all my emotions are very flat. Hoping someone can help me out with an answer.

I was diagnosed with Glandular fever back in September after a blood test but first had swollen glands in June, I still have swollen glands now and am really worried. Is it normal to have swollen glands for 4-5 months?

I am currently 2 months post op from acl reconstruction. I am still in physical therapy and am not really wanting to ask my PT about what is ok and not ok when it comes to sex. I am a 26 year old female and my boyfriend and I have had no issues having sex in the missionary position. However, I'd really like to get on top but don't know if I should be doing that yet...has anyone else had an acl reconstruction that can possibly answer this?

Is there anyone who has both these conditions? And if yes, do they flare at the same time?
I have had raynaud's since a child (am now 57). I think erythromelalgia has been gradually getting worse since perimenopause began in the early '90s.
But only over recent years has this gradually gotten so bad that I'm relatively lame and housebound
My feet, hands and face are affected. The feet are worst. The NHS rheumy tried my on low dose vasodilator which had to stop cause it made all my symptoms much worse, apparently permanently.
When both conditions flare together my feet are sort of the colour of raw meat. This has been happening daily for nearly 1 year.
The erythromelalgia association website is v helpful, but even on the raynaud's & scleroderma org website it's hard to find anyone with EM, let alone both EM & RP.
If you are out there and have any tips for how to manage these 2 conditions.

I am a 22 year old female
I am writing today in hopes to find an answer to a recent aggravating ongoing problem that is taking a toll on my everyday life.
From what i remember starting around November 2014 a symptom of frequent urination suddenly appeared and i started going to the bathroom 10-15 times a day. The around Thanksgiving time I had a burning, foul odor when using the restroom along with the need to constantly urinate.
I had a few UTIs before, trichomoniasis and chlamydia at an earlier age but were all treated effectively. I went to the doctor about two weeks later because i was busy in school with finals and figured it would be okay until i was able to visit the doctor. I was given rounds of antibiotics, everything from cipro, bactrim, amoxicillin, etc and that took away the burning sensation but never the constant need to urinate.
I have seen a urologist and after doing ultrasounds and various exams he prescribed me of what i believe was detrol for overactive bladder but it gave me dry mouth and did nothing to assist this frequency of urination.
He figured it was tight pelvic floor muscles and recommended me to a PT that specializes in this. Over the months the constant urge got better on its on before seeing the physical therapists because before it was so bad i couldn't stay in the school library without being embarrassed of keep getting up to use the bathroom. I sustained from sex during this time and recently had sex a week ago and this definitely reignited by symptoms.
I have visited the PT about five days ago for the first time and the exercises seem to be not working.
I am so frustrated and confused as to whether this symptom is a cause of an irritated bladder, pelvic floor muscles, or anxiety.

I was wondering what type of ways you guys use to boost your energy throughout the day, whether its coffee, energy drinks, exercise, vitamins, etc. And how effective are these for you? What are negative side effects that you do not like from your energy booster?
