What Does Your Prescription DO for You?

B'SD

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.gov, www.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.

Buy the E-book or print edition of EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge.  Learn of wonderfully helpful resources to help you to calm down, prevent problems and even pay your medical costs as you...

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

And face your challenges one at a time.


 

The Book Sheryl Crow Needs to Read

B'SD


17 Sivan 5772


Anyone listening to or reading the news probably knows by now that singer Sheryl Crow has a Meningioma, the very form of benign brain tumor that almost KILLED me!

What are the odds that she'll avoid future complications NOT being addressed in this news item? I'd say low unless she has a far more astute neurologist and neurosurgeon on her medical team. The doctor quoted in this article makes dismissive comments, as if Meningiomas were as harmless as freckles. True, some people get past their Meningiomas easily. But others face deadly implications. Readers need to know that:

•  Meningiomas tend to come in pairs 
• Crush nerves 
• Cause cognitive, vision, balance, hearing and other problems. 
•  One Meningioma can hide behind the other and not be detected on MRIs
• Necessary surgery or Stereotactic Radiation treatments can cause secondary problems
• The potential for further, crippling damage to the person with the hidden tumor is BIG 
•  Meningiomas can cause death
  
  
  What a waste of an opportunity to educate the masses, FOX News. 
  
  
  For some of us mortals, Meningiomas can present life and death situations.

  
  
  That's a medical CRISIS worth crying over.
  
  
  
  
  

A medical crisis - you'd cry too, if it happened to you. Use your tissues and handkerchiefs with my blessings borne of experience. GOD gives you Permission to Weep. And you can say that to any critics after explaining that "It's MY Crisis! And I'll Cry if I Need To." Show them page 5 of the book to prove your point.




The Baltimore Sun did a better job of presenting an overview of Meningiomas at Brain Tumor Facts.

Sad news in the USA. Obama claims that he isn't familiar with the present health bill passing through White House auspices.

And 20-somethings fresh out of college can't afford minimal health insurance.
