The EZ Shmeezy Way to Know More about the Medication You Take

B'SD

7 Elul, 5773

From time to time I share URLs, aka websites, for empowering you to learn more about your health. 

I sympathize with you if you do not know why you take some sort of medication or feel reluctant to ask medical professionals about it. 

It's frightening to take medication and to wonder what it does for you, what the unplanned ramifications (consequences) of taking the medication might be and what else you need to know.

Here's an FYI on the citrus fruits with medication issue Beware of Dangerous Medication Interactions with Citrus Fruits!

Educate yourself at these sites and take notes. Memories tend to be faulty at inconvenient times.






Drugs are one thing. 

How about improving your sense of resolve? 

What about resolving your troubling spiritual issues about your illness - or someone else's? 

Can you or they afford the treatments, transportation or medical appliances you need?

Solutions exist! Many of them are in the E-book or print edition of EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge

Face Your Medical Problems with Dignity. Face Your Future with Optimism. 

Focus on solutions. The EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge book can help you with that in many ways.

What Does Your Prescription DO for You?

B'SD

8 Av, 5773

Empowering patients is what my efforts are all about. One important issue is to understand what the drugs you take do for - possibly against - you. You need to know which things can't be taken together, what to expect from your prescriptions and a bit more.

Today I'm sharing some websites for you to learn about health problems and medications you take or need to understand for some reason.

The  www.webmd.com and www.medlineplus.gov websites tend to be quite reliable. And, they let you research medical conditions plus the treatments prescribed by doctors.


Pharmaceutical information explains drugs. Here are some links to let you better understand those drugs, their risks, side effects and benefits. 

These sites are NOT the only information you need, only a starting point: www.fda.govwww.rxlist.com and www.drugs.com.


Need to know something else related to your medical or mental health issues - perhaps someone else's? Let me know. I can try to find out some facts for you or let you know what's already in my files.


I plan to be offline tomorrow as it will be one of the saddest days on the Jewish calendar, Tisha B'Av. Jews worldwide will be fasting, praying and resolving to being better than we've been before.
