I’m a female teenager who has been trying to gain weight for years. I’m currently 126 pounds, 5’3”, and 18 years old, aiming to reach 145-150 pounds. I want to achieve a specific body image with bigger thighs, calves, a bigger butt, toned arms, and a semi-flat stomach. I’ve tried weight gain supplements without much success and have a slight eating disorder due to depression, making it hard to eat full meals more than once a day. What professional advice can you provide to help me gain weight and achieve my desired body image?

My ESR is high and always has been, but today's reading is the highest, and I'm worried about cancers. I had thyroid cancer this year, had my thyroid removed, and am on levothyroxine which has me suppressed. I did radioactive iodine in May 2023. I have anxiety, depression, PCOS, obesity (lost 65lbs in the last year), and a history of joint pains. My RA factor is positive, but other tests are negative. I'm 36 years old, female, and a rheumatologist ordered these tests today. What could be causing the high ESR, and should I be worried about another cancer?

Is the tongue twitching I experience when sticking my tongue out a sign of ALS, or is it just normal muscle movement due to dehydration or anxiety?
