Chronic Pain Management | Healthmad
Chronic Pain Management | Healthmad
Chronic pain management is usually a long drawn out process for the patient and doctor. Not many choices are available and those that are, can have side effects that are sometimes worse than the pain. Some patients have good results from alternative treatments which have no harmful side effects. So it seems reasonable to try those first to see if they provide relief.

Relief From Chronic Pain | Healthmad
Relief From Chronic Pain | Healthmad
Pain is a big problem in the U.S. Back pain comes in at the top of the list. It effects 75 to 80 percent of all adults at some time during their lives. It leaves seven million partially or completely disabled, and accounts for over $5 billion in health care costs every year. Doctors still do not know enough about treating chronic pain. Years ago nobody gave pain any attention unless life was in danger. Suffering pain was common place. Nowadays we don’t accept pain well. We want relief and sometimes find it in narcotics that are more disruptive than pain.

Spousal abuse is going on around us and we never see it. Women are ashamed of the abuse and hide it from family and friends.They make excuses for bruises and injuries and protect the abuser. Some women even think they deserve it. They think, "if only I didn’t make him mad" and walk around on tender hooks to avoid upsetting the abuser. There are Emergency Shelters with programs to help abused women. If you are abused you should seek their help.

Alternative Treatments for Pain | Healthmad
Tylenol and Advil have been a blessing for pain sufferers since the 50s and 60s. But they too have their downsides. Both have serious side effects taken in large doses. They do have the advantage over narcotics which are addictive. Alternative treatments are coming into their own and doctors who once cast doubt are now recommending them.

Mommy Networking | Gomestic
Mommies are networking these days, especially stay-at-home moms who are with the baby all day. They are setting up play groups to get the little ones out communicating with other kids their ages. Some moms and babies love it but some find themselves in a trickery situation, especially if the group is made up of neighbors and friends. Some kids are not well behaved and do not act appropriately in a group of children, while some are shy and do not fit in with the group. What’s a mom to do?

Drug Trip a Memoir by Clay Hurtubise | Quazen
Drug Trip a Memoir by Clay Hurtubise | Quazen
Clay Hurtubise’s memoir "Drug Trip" is entertaining and an over all great reading experience. He tells of a seven day road trip on his Yamaha 650 motorcycle taking him from Wyoming to California. Clay runs into all sorts of people. Some kind and helpful, some perfect maniacs. He has many close calls and survives it all with humor and fortitude. Clay also takes us back in time to his boyhood in Maine with family and friends.
