    • Close Family & Friends of Bipolar

      My son has bi-polar and is a substance abuser. He threatens to kill me and others on phone messages when he is drunk. When sober he says its not going to happen, he just feels like saying those things. I have tried to find support. He lives in another state then I do for my own sanity. He is [in jail right now and may be for a long time due to habitual offender laws. I am so sad for him.

    • Close Hyperparathyroidism

      I had two parathyroids removed at age 19 due to a benign tumor on one of them. For the past ten years, I am now 50, I have had another tumor come on one of the remaining parathyroids. Just wanted to share my history with anyone who is interested in this familiar parathyroid that runs in my family.
