Medication: Take with Questions!
Medication mix-ups can and do happen. Asking questions is a powerful action that can improve medication safety. It’s easy for even the average person to lose track of what they are taking and how often they are taking it. Ask your pharmacist and other members of your healthcare team about your medications. Be sure to ask questions every time a new medication is prescribed, given, or purchased. And finally, ask questions in the hospital, at the pharmacy, and during healthcare appointments. Questions save lives; it’s safe to ask.
Aging at Home
85% of seniors have done nothing to prepare their home for aging. It is important to be aware of the day-to-day tasks your loved one may face and assess the risks accordingly. This can be done by adapting their home to make sure they are safe on their own. Beneficial aids can help an older adult look after their home with dignity. These include chairlifts, ramps, rails, reaching tools, grabbers, and remote controls. These changes can also reduce stress for them. Minimizing risks and making a home safe is so important. Let’s support our loved ones in living healthy, independent, enjoyable lives.
Don’t make Lupus a Big, Dark Secret!
The mystery that surrounds Lupus is large, with many unknowns. It is a chronic autoimmune disease, causing inflammation in various parts of the body. It can range from mild to a serious, life-threatening illness, and yet Lupus organizations receive zero funding from the government and very little corporate support. Ninety-percent of patients are women, and no two cases are the same. Symptoms can include: a face rash, alopecia, depression, mouth sores and chest pain. If you have Lupus – you are not alone. Reach out to your doctor and those close to you. Relaxation exercises like visualization and meditation can ease some symptoms. Rest often and learn to listen to your body.
Seniors and Medication Use
It’s important to help seniors use their medications properly and consistently to ensure they get the intended benefits and avoid the possible side effects. Ensuring that seniors are able to access their medication is the first step. For those who are no longer able to drive, having someone provide them with transportation can ensure they are able to pick up their medications when they need to. Seniors who have trouble keeping track of their medications and when to take them may need assistance with scheduling and storage of their medications. Monitoring for side effects may also be required in case they are unaware of their symptoms.
ADHD or Something Else?
Did you know that children diagnosed with learning-related visual dysfunction and children diagnosed with ADHD suffer from many of the same signs and symptoms?
• Failure to pay close attention to details or making careless mistakes
• Difficulty sustaining attention
• Failure to follow through on instructions or to finish work
• Easily distracted by extraneous stimuli
• Fidgets in seat or has trouble staying seated
Sadly, as a result, these children can be easily misdiagnosed. Having 20/20 vision is not enough. There are 16 other visual skills required for learning. A developmental eye examination is needed to determine whether a learning-related visual dysfunction is causing behaviour that may otherwise be attributed to ADHD.
Choosing Healthier Transportation
The world of cars is changing fast these days. We are seeing eco-friendlier cars that come with battery electric motor gas engines (hybrids) more frequently on the road every day. What people are starting to choose with increasing frequency are plug-in battery electric motor gas engines (plug-in hybrids) and fully electric motor cars that do not use any gasoline at all! Can you imagine never having to drive to a gas station for fuel again? There is a healthier choice for yourself, your family, and our environment. Toyota produces the majority of the hybrids on the road globally today to show a real commitment to everyone’s health.
Digestive Problems?
Treat the cause, not the symptoms. More than 20 million Canadians suffer from digestive disorders every year. Whether it’s heartburn, reflux, indigestion, abdominal pain, bloating, irritable bowel, or colitis, those suffering seldom find long-term solutions. Conventional medicines offer temporary relief, but rarely address the cause. If you do not find the cause, the symptoms will continue to worsen. One of the best ways to determine the cause of your condition is with nutritional testing. This non-invasive testing will let you know if you are lacking specific nutrients essential for proper digestion. If deficiencies are found, specific nutritional formulations can be given to address the cause and heal the area.
October is Massage Therapy Month
Do you know the different types of massage? Swedish Massage is applying light to medium pressure to help relieve pain, reduce stress, and promote relaxation. Deep Tissue Massage is working on the deeper tissues with deeper pressure, similar to Swedish Massage, but with more focus on the tendons, and fascia, to help with chronic muscle strain. Geriatric Massage helps relieve anxiety and depression in elderly clients. Prenatal Massage offers prenatal care and is based on individual needs. Cranial Sacral Therapy involves gentle techniques addressing the head, spinal column, and sacrum to help relive headaches, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, and back and neck pain.
Winter is Coming!
Amputees can sometimes experience difficulties in icy conditions. With winter on the way, proper footwear is very important. Wear shoes that have good grip. If you do have a balance problem or are using an assistive device, have someone else clear your steps and sidewalk, and be sure to throw sand or salt down to decrease ice buildup. It’s a good idea to install rails next to steps to give you something secure to hold on to. Finally, have a cellphone or some type of device with you to call for help if you slip and fall.
