My boyfriend has had various infections over the past 6 weeks, including an abscess on his knee, severe pink eye, and an anal abscess that was drained. He now has an ear infection. He is 34, heterosexual, normally in great health, not overweight, and exercises regularly. The doctor says it's all coincidental. Is this truly coincidental, and if so, what could be the cause of these recurring infections? Can stress be a factor, and what is the main cause of an anal abscess?

I have been on my period for a little over a month and I'm tired and feeling completely drained. I've been drinking a lot of water but still feel dehydrated. Last night I threw up and now I feel like I have no energy at all. I was told that it sounds like a hormone imbalance. What is that and what does that mean for me?
