After a very killing outpatient procedure last Friday, I realized I could no longer put off not getting us health insurance coverage. I was supposed to get us a plan last month but other things came up and now we are very poor because of it. I am on the lookout for affordable health insurance [...]

I really need to run again. I noticed that I easily get tired whenever we walk to my parents’ place. Granted it is far (around 5-8 blocks), it has never happened to me before. You can even tell I was panting. I need to look for treadmills on sale this coming Christmas so I can [...]

I have been feeling so bloated lately that everybody has been assuming I am pregnant. For the record I am not. But my hormones are out of whack. I haven’t been eating much and Im dropping weight but my stomach is like 9 months pregnant. I need to do some colon cleansing fast or otherwise [...]

I see blurry things lately and hate to admit I might need eyeglasses – me who had perfect vision despite of working in front of the PC for five years and studying endless nights nursing books. It might be high blood pressure or high blood sugar – in which case, Id gladly take the blurry [...]

I think I gained weight from last week – or it could just be PMS talking as Ive got a huge zit on my chin and have been craving chocolates more often than usual (and for a chocoholic like me, that is crazy! ) Im going to be stricter with my health regimen – [...]

My son is going through the Ugly Duckling Stage right now. He is seven, has buck teeth, so many caries in his milk teeth and gaps and tooth fillings. The dentist we go to right now advised us that the only thing we can do right now is to really wait them out – meaning, [...]

..keeps the sickies at bay.
Did I manage to get the saying right?
Anyway, my sore throat has cracked to reveal a very nice case of the flu. The phlegm is still very dry and thick which complicates things (Pardon if Im sharing something gross). My daughter has it as well, and the husband and my eldest [...]
