my daughters anxiety

Wow, life has been super busy around our house! Keeping up with everything is a chore but all well worth it when I see those little faces smiling back at me! I am in the process of starting a daisy scout troop and our first meeting is THIS monday! YIKES. I am playing clean the house, lesson plan, take training classes and everything else! I am just so thankful for coffee! Anyways, I have...

Sinus Infection

Last week I came down with a viral throat infection which about five days ago turned into a bacterial sinus infection. I am 24 weeks pregnant and until this row of infections, everything was going perfectly fine. Now my doctor has put me on 10-days of Amoxicillin (1 pill 3x per day) and Nasonex (1 spray in each nostril 2x per day). Is this all safe? I've read that Amoxicillin is safe during pregnancy. I...

Healthy Eating

Three months ago I cut all redmeat out of my diet. It wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be. The majority of my dinner time meals are salmon. I love salmon but I'm running out of new ways to make it. So I thought maybe if I shared one of my favorite ways to make salmon that I could convince you guys to share one of your favorite healthy recipes with me....

JOKES AND FRIENDSHIP

A MAN AND HIS DOG WERE WALKING ALONG A ROAD. THE MAN WAS ENJOYING THE SCENERY,WHEN IT SUDDENLY OCCURRED TO HIM THAT HE WAS DEAD. HE REMEMBERED DYING,AND THAT THE DOG WALKING BESIDE HIM HAD BEEN DEAD FOR YEARS. HE WONDERED WHERE THE ROAD WAS LEADING THEM. AFTER A WHILE,THEY CMAE TO A HIGH,WHITE STONE WALL ALONG ONE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT LOOKED LIKE FINE MARBLE. AT THE TOP OF A LONG HILL, IT...

H1N1

My son is 11 months and I am breastfeeding. I plan to continue until he either wean himself or until the Swine Flu thing calms down. I'm just beginning to become nervous about him getting the shot. There is all this talk about the effects it may or may not have. I'm just curious to see if any one else has any thoughts about the subject ??

Waiter's Confession

Oh man, I’m not so sure I want to see today’s segment on waiter's confessions. :) Chances are I'll be cooking today. Actually, I've never been a huge fan of the fast food places. Although bad things can happen at any restaurant. My mind is more at ease if I can watch the food being prepared. I also like deli's. One of my favorites Subway. Of course I have to trust the meats and condiment...

Mercury in dental fillings

We all know that our fillings contain mercury and mercury is toxic to our health but is it safer to leave them in than have them all removed because of the leakage of mercury into our body when removed? Or is the continued vapor leakage more harmful over the long term if we left them in? I had all mine removed and my health and energy level has improved although there is no "scientific proof". Make sure you...

We treat our Military like.....

I was just reading a gentleman on this web site "about me" page. He went through agent orange, and has a long list of medical problems, that are not being resolved. Why doesn't the V.A. help more? He is depressed, as anyone who is in constant pain. This seems to be a recurring theme, vets being cast aside. Putting all Politics aside, don't our vets deserve more? Is this how it really is? The Doctors T.V. did cover...

Going off Klonopin

I'm in the process of going off Klonopin fast so I am not so sedated during the day. I can't go off it cold turkey because I risk seizures. My psych knows, just I'm going a little faster than he thinks (going from 2 to 1 mg, not 2 to 1.5 mg -- trust me 1/2 mg makes a huge difference). I can already tell my mood has changed but it hasn't been long--has taken...

The loss of a friend.

I wanted to dedicate my first blog on here to a dear friend that I lost just three weeks ago to breast cancer! I wanted to write about an amazing women who has changed my life forever! In January 2004, I had the honor to be a part of a fundraising campaign here in Reno called Man women and celebrity of the year to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma society. At the kick off event,...

Blog OF A HEALTHY PERSON

This one is gonna be short my friends. I am struggling on 2 different levels. My husband hates his job and the hours he works 6pm-6AM and fulltime school also and a few family of origin issues and to boot he suffers from SAD SEASONAL Affect Disorder so I am actually reacting and responding to him UUUGGGGGGGGGGG!~ It is grey skies now in Ohio and whatever it takes I will be buying this lamp his...

Brushing and flossing When You Can't?

I try to brush and floss twice a day. I just bought the ortho toothbrush mentioned on the show and it made me realise I haven't been brushing long enough (the 2 min. timer is great) The problem is when work I am there for at least 12 hours. We don't have any place I'd want to brush and floss my teeth. I work in a hospital and we don't have any bathrooms that are very private. Can...

Swine

Is there a side effect to getting the swine flu vaccination?

Pillows

What type of pillows do people like the best? Which are the more comfortable? I know they did a show on this but it was about another aspect of it. What are the differences between pillows? Just wondering. Melissa.

Dr. Lisa You Rock!!!

After watching today's episode, I just had to write this blog. The segment was on Motherhood, Womens' Issues and so forth. I am always so very proud of Dr. Lisa and the way she presents herself as a Professional. I can not stress enough the confidence I have in her regarding her knowledge and experitse in the field of OB/GYN! I appreciate other guests hosts they may have on the show, but when it comes to...

preventing my period??

I am sure that my period will come just before my wedding. I guess getting my period isn't the end of the world, but it's the effects of it....my bloatedness, mood swings!! Not to mention the wedding "night" situation...eak!! Anyway, I was told that you can prevent your period by taking the Pill continuously for two packets without any harm. Is this true and is it harmful??

Where are your manners?

Please do not become one of those TV shows where you think viewers believe it's cool when everyone talks at the same time. You are better than that. All of us should be modeling "one person talks at a time" for many reasons. Ultimately to validate that the speaker has a right to their views. Many people have grown up, worked at jobs or live in homes where the loudest person wins. People can actually...

ora sex

I have a very embarassing question. My husband and I enjoy oral sex. The problem is that he doesn't do it as often on me because of the taste. He says it has a metallic taste to it. I have to admit that it does. Does anybody know what the problem is and how it can be fixed? I've tried douches and feminine washes. This is a new problem for me. I haven't always had...

I can come here to review! I posted about an emergency splenectomy... I am seeing my dermatologist next week to check the scar/incision. I may have to post a photo...(it is so gross though). I am of an age where I...

Just Say "NO" To Soda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No’VemBurr 5th 2009 "Thought 4 Food" !!! ! Did you know that Soda is probably one of THE worst Beverages to drink? Recent Studies have revealed that, Children who consume Soda-Pop, in large quantities ,are more likely to get not only tooth-decay, type 2-Diabetes, Heart Disease, but also Cancer!!! Secondly, don’t EVEN think that Diet-Soda Is better, because in reality it’s just as harmful due to artificial sweeteners or Saccharin(which causes bladder cancer in rats)!!! The...

Memory Lane

Do you often sit and wait and have visions of past events in your life sort of flash by? Or have you ever started a conversation about "war wounds" or how you got this or that scar? Ha ha ha..... my friend and I went through this a few days ago. Among the scar I got on my chin from flying over my bike handlebars, the bumps and bruises from tripping while hiking, the kicks...

About time!

Yesterday, I finally figured out what I want to do with my life after I graduate. I love helping people and have always been interested in psychology, and I love music but don't enjoy the extreme competitive nature of being a professional performer. I want to be a music therapist. I will have to do a couple more years of school to specialize in music therapy, but I am excited to learn about it! I...
