I have a 14 year old son that has headaches quite often. He wears glasses, so that is not the problem. He comes home from school daily with a headache. I have taken him to the doctor and they have no answers for me. Does any one have this problem. He has had them on and off for 3 or 4 years now.

My girlfriend has a 12 year old boy that is truly driving her nuts. I give as good of advice as I can, but really I raised girls, Im sure its different. Her son, has started "dating" a 13 year old girl (who mom doesnt like hehe), is pretty disrespectful to his mom, he is spoiled with cash & fancy electronics by his Dad that lives in a different city. He wants to "go out" on dates with the girlfriend, I think in groups it should be ok...? He has no experience using transit alone- I think now is a good time to learn... theres a bunch of stuff...

I have a rule that my daughters are not allowed to miss school for anything PMS related. I understand this may sound harsh but I have 4 girls and the need to learn to work through whatever symptoms life hands to them. This morning I woke up to my 14 year old laying on the floor of the bathroom throwing up. I asked her what she thought was wrong and she said that she was in so much pain from her cramps she was throwing up. She said she can barely move the pain is so bad. After a lot of debate between my husband and I we let her stay home...

my two year old son won't talk. we have done everything to get him to but he won't. he is seeing a speech therapist once a week and now she wants to send him to a doctor who specializes in this kind of thing. i'm afraid that the doctor will tell me that it is autism and i wouldn't know what to do. i'm so scared because he is my firstborn and i never dealt with this kind of thing before. i hope he doesn't have it and he can say some words but not enough. please pray that he will start talking soon before he starts school in august.

My 10 year old daughter is uncooperative when asked to assist around the house. There is a power struggle and attitude when asked to perform even simple tasks. Then everything escalates on both sides. I am curious what other moms are experiencing and what forms of discipline seems to be effective. I feel like our relationship is great as long as nothing is asked of her. She normally is a sweet considerate kid, until it's time for chores, then the fireworks start. What's normal?

My son is about to turn 5, and is still having a problem with wetting the bed. I've taken the drinks away at a proper time, I've even waked him up to use the restroom in the middle of the night, but he still will wet the bed. He has no problems during the day, it's only at night. If you have any tips please let me know! I need all the help I can get.

Hello again moms! I have a question similar to one another mom recently asked. My 10 month old son has been sneezing with a runny nose for going on a week now. He had a temp of 100.2 on Tuesday but now it's back down to normal. He seems to be draining mucus (sp?) ok, but when I try to suction him with the bulb syringe he fights me like a grown man! Usually, he'll sneeze and have mucus drainage, but he will either sniff it back up before I can get to him with the syringe or he will thrash around fighting me and get himself so worked up that...

I am having problems with my 12 year old step son. Last school year he got 3 Fs, 2 Ds and a C. He always lied about having homework. At home, he wont do his chores. There is always a long fight. He says he's too tired, constipated, whatever, and refuses to do it. We have taken priveleges away, grounded him from friends, rewarded him when he does them--nothing seems to work. We've talked to his principal and counselor and teachers at school (I even went to his classes with him and sat at the back to watch his behavior and talk to the...

For the past week or so my son (who is almost 1 year) has been so stuffed up at night. I just recently took him to an allergist doctor, who helped us figure out that he is allergic to milk, eggs, wheat, fish, and peanuts. I am still nursing him three times a day and have not really eaten any diary product since he was three months because of him getting so stuffed up back then. It helped him a lot for me to do this, but I did not know he was allergic to the other foods. The doctor said though that it should not matter what I eat, it shouldn...

My 11 y.o. has a hyperactive immune system and rarely gets sick. I swear he could drink spoiled lumpy milk, spend the afternoon with a room full of flu ridden kids, and not miss a beat. He's ADHD and is on growth hormone injections (pituitary gland stopped functioning in this capacity when he was 3.) When he was about 10 months old, he had a pretty bad cold. When he was 6 years old, he had the H1N1 flu which only put him out of commission for about 8 hours. Otherwise, he's never had any other illnesses or even cold like symptoms. ...

I have an eleven-year-old (fourth grade) daughter who was diagnosed with dyslexia in second grade. Once diagnosed, we received remediation through her school and got private educational therapy several times a week until last year. Last year we moved my daughter to a private school whose reading remediation is based upon the Barton method. We've been happy with her progress and the move. However it's still hard to watch her struggle so much. She is very bright (an honor roll student) and gets frustrated at not being able to do...

Earlier this week, my 13 year old daughter told me she was not going to eat anything and only drink water for 10 days in an effort to lose weight. Of course, she got a lecture on healthy body image and weight loss, but I'm still worried. She is at a healthy weight and not at all fat but she insists she needs to be 98 pounds to be 'perfect'. I told her that if she was 98 pounds at her height you would be able to see her bones and she told me that was her goal. Today I was checking her iPod, as I routinely do, and found that she had been...

So my dd is 21 months- she has been a little stuffy and running a slight fever so i took her to our doctor yesterday. her fever was 101.5 and the dr said there were no signs of infection and just to give her tylenol to treat the fever and she would get better on her own. well i just took her temp and it was 103.4 underarm- so 104.4 or so actual. gave her another dose of tylenol ( her last one was 4+ hrs ago) so hopefully it will come down soon...im still debating taking her to the ER- On one hand the dr already said theres nothing they...

Hi Ladies, My son was diagnosed with the flu yesterday and already today I am hearing about 2 more kids I know coming down with the flu. Is it in your community or your child? Are they taking Tamiflu? My son is 4 and he didn't get the flu shot. Timiflu seems to be working very well as he is already feeling better. Wondering what determines if the doctor prescribes it or not. How many days will your child be out of school?

Have any of you been prescribed or taken nortriptyline (an anti-depressant) for IBS? If so, did it help and did you experience any side effects? I have had IBS for years and have tried a variety of meds, diets, etc., some with limited success but nothing that has alleviated my problems. FYI, I've had many, many tests, including a recent colonoscopy, that have ruled out more serious conditions or Celiac. Within the last year I've discovered that I have a significant problem consuming fiber, which is frustrating because I enjoy fruits and...

I have been reading about PMDD and I am thinking I have that. I feel like I am going out of my mind when this starts. I think I have a about 1 week out of a month that I am happy and feel good about everything. The rest, I can't stand my self, my husband, or my kids. My 14 year old is only here for the summer but my 6 year old and my 17 year old step-son are with me everyday. I hate...

My 7 month old has been having these dry, rough pinkish places come up like on his arm in the inside crease of his elbow and on his face. I know he suffers from allergies, he is so stuffy more so at night, and since allergies and eczema go hand in hand thats what i think it is. should i take him to his pediatrician or an allergy specialist for diagnosis?? our pcp is so vague she may just say "yeah it Could be" and that be it. And if it is eczema how do you treat a baby?? thanks moms:)
