    Has anyone been diagnosed with Graves' disease or some other form of hyperthyroidism? I am wondering how other people treated this and if anyone else was diagnosed while still nursing. 5 posts – 1 participant Read full topic

    I have a niece who has a dry cough, no other symptoms. Some doctors said asthma, others said no. I don't think it is asthma. Coughs only during the day. I am using a homeopathic for coughs. Any ideas? 8 posts – 1 participant Read full topic

    I have a son with Tourettes who throws his back out with his tics. We had a great chiropractor helping him, but she is no longer on our health plan. So I'm seeking recommendations for other chiropractors. I'm looking for someone who knows about neurological issues and how chiropractic can help. Not just sports injuries […]

    I think my son has eczema but I am not totally sure. He keeps having tiny bumps flare up on his body, always in the same places, mainly the legs (around the knee area) and on his face. They are not pimple like, more like itty bitty flesh colored rough bumps that look like the […]

    My son is 19 months old and is at that age where taking rectal temperatures is difficult. I haven't had success with getting an accurate underarm temperature (even with adding 1 degree). I have a "cheap" ear thermometer, but it isn't accurate either. He's obviously not old enough for oral testing. So, my question is […]

    My friend's son just turned 3, and he eats no vegetables or fruits, so he is chronically constipated. I have never seen someone struggle so hard to poop- it breaks my heart! It can take him 30-60 minutes every few days to have a bowel movement. They give him mineral oil to help him out, […]

    My 4 1/2 yr old daughter will soon be receiving her vaccinations for kindergarten. She is such a kind hearted and sweet little girl and I know she will try to be brave. However, does anyone have any strategies, ideas, rewards…to help her (and me) through them? 9 posts – 1 participant Read full topic
