When cancer hits close to home – my Mom, a cancer survivor

For some of us, we may be more knowledgeable about certain health conditions as compared to others simply because of our own learned education, our own physical experience, or by the experience of a loved one. This is the case for me when I think about breast cancer. About 5 years ago, my mother was

THANK YOU!

It’s been 2 years since I started Medication Advisors and I have to say that 2012 has proven to be an exciting and successful year!          I am beginning to see more and more word-of-mouth referrals coming in for our private practice Comprehensive Medication Reviews.  Nothing speaks more highly of how valuable

Heartburn ALMOST a thing of the past…

As you can see, it has been a while since I posted about my heartburn issue.  Since I last posted, I did go for an EGD and the results were very good!  Everything down there was pretty and pink, just the way it should be.  What a relief that is!  They did however find a

Goodbye spicy foods, coffee & wine

Since I last wrote in this blog, the heartburn has gotten much worse.  It is now happening during the day and is there most of the time.  I started taking the OTC ranitidine twice a day as directed on the labeling instead of only as needed, thinking that it might help.  Nope, didn’t help at

Pillow Prompts Call To Doctor

Well, still keeping the diary and still experiencing the heartburn.  No real patterns are jumping out at me that would help me solve the mystery of which food is causing me such distress.  I will keep up the diary for a few more days, but may have to change my strategy to removing all the

My Personal Health Journey

We all have our very own health journey that is thrust upon us whether we like it or not.  The difference between each individual is how we choose to participate in the journey.  Do we choose to ignore signs and symptoms of disease?  Do we choose to let fear paralyze us into inaction?  Do we
