Why am I getting UTIs so often?
Maturation will have nothing to do with your growth and development. It probably has something to do with UTIs. I would suggest a visit to your doctor to make sure there is no diabetes in view of family history.

Throat problems?
I am sorry for your throat problems, it seems to me that you have had multiple ENT exams considered negative. I would see your physician and get a referral to throat or swallowing physical therapy consult. I think that would help your situation.

Level vi Lymph - Delphian?
I don’t think you can palpate normal Delphian node. It most likely can be palpated in thyroid or laryngeal disease. A neck surgeon might be better suited to give a more definitive answer.

Do I have diabetes?
Zyrexa can cause weight gain, which can lead to diabetes as well as elevated blood sugars. I follow the standard classification for diabetes: family history, fasting sugar below 100; 2-hour post-prandial sugar less than 140; above 140 to 180 impaired glucose tolerance, diabetes over 200. Please see your physician.

Years of pain and symptoms unanswered?
Sounds really tough. The leg swelling and shortness of breath may indicate cardiac disease and you may be helped by a diuretic. Follow up with cardiologist, the arthritic complaints may be helped with rheumatologist consult. That is how I would suggest starting. The thyroid disease does not seem a problem now.
Good luck!
