A member asked:

I have fat glands in my whole body. i asked my doc and he told me that there is no medicine for it and it is not harmful. is this true?

Trust your Dr: Don't know quite what "fat glands" are but if your dr told you not to worry, then don't, otherwise there are a lot more dr's out there.
