Open Parenting Teenagers (12-18)

I am the step mother of an 18 year boy and a 14 year old girl, I also have an adopted daughter who is 22 but maturity about 16. My step son is walking all over his father and me and my husband won't do a thing about it. I am beside myself

Open High Blood Pressure

I have had High Blood Pressure for about 13 years. I knew when I was young that I would end up with it because it runs in my family. My mother's went so high when she was 28 years old they put her in bed for 10 days the doctor came to our home. So I have learned to live with it long before I ever had it. As long as I take my meds I will be fine.

Open Kidney Stones

I have had Kidney Stones about every 6 months since May 2002. I have been lucky since June 2006 I hadn't had any. Wrong I went to the urlogist for a follow up visit, they had given me an order for xrays well they found 3. I haven't been in any pain. Then I went for an IVP I had a total of 4 stones. Still thank God I am in no pain. Hopefully I will pass them without a problem. The doctor is running a test to see what is causing me to form the stones. Hopefully I will find out soon.
