Last Commented Health Blogs (955)

For anyone who may remember, I recently made a blog about the headaches I was having and how I was eliminating caffeine from my diet by switching from regular tea to decaf green tea. Today I decided to have a cup of regular tea for old times sake and it tasted way too bitter. I have officially switch to green tea :)

For a long time, I been having steady headaches. Never seem to be able to get rid of them. In desperation, I once again looked at possible causes and I figured maybe the room that my computer was in was too dark (I left the light off but had a lamp going beside me). Anyhow, I started turning on the light and it partially worked, my eyes felt less strained and the headaches wasn't so bad but was still there.

It was suggested to me about a week ago that I may be getting too much caffeine. I drink lots and lots of tea, so I decided to switch from regular tea to decaf green tea. Headaches are practically gone except for one night when the withdraw of caffeine gave me a headache in which I just made a regular cup of tea and the headache was gone again in a hour.

I am drinking one cup of regular tea in the morning and evening so I don't crash again but drinking green tea the rest of the time. The headaches are gone and when my body adjusts to less caffeine, I can step down again until I can do without it.

I'm happy

one of the hate words. You know, the ones liberals whip around, usually wrongly, at the drop of a hat. (The R word, and all those ending with----phobia.) Her talk was on opiate addicted moms and their innocent babies. Tall, lovely, British pediatrician, 50--ish, and well kept, with the recent onset of hair faiding in color, no wedding ring, and some cleavage going. Va-va-va-voom. Sadly, a molly codling ueber liberal presentation, and not exactly Cockney diction,--- annoyingly so. Some may know. Actually, many reasonable points on how best to work with these females/families. So, behaving as I often do here, I asked a question, after she over kept the group by some 15 minutes. "Just two brief points, and a suggestion. These females are often part of family multigenerational teen pregnancy, and all the good work you do with them must build up a good deal of trust. Maybe it would be helpful, to really prevent more of these poor convulsing, opiate soaked babies, to reach out to thesee mothers, and perhaps even other ladies in the family, as health educators , on RESPONSIBLE CONTRACEPTION". Her response, "Well, I wouldn't at all want to discourage anyone from being a mom", Of course, that wasn't the point, but liberals, gotta love 'em. They can't help it. Aa.

Alzheimer's disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States per the latest report from Google.

There's about 3,000 cases reported each year in the US alone according to the same report.

It's a very difficult burden for the family of the afflicted and a very costly expense for medical insurance.

A friend of mine is going through this enormous responsibility for her 85 year old mother and I am helping her cope up with it.

There's so much to learn specially on the strong possibility of preventing it by taking care of our body specially eating the right foods.

Green vegetables, lots of fruits specially bkackberry, strawberries, red and blue berries.

A cup of red wine each day helps, too. Unfortunately I don't drink wine or alcohol, so I can't have that.

Nuts, fish, and avoid butter, cheese, margarine and not too much red meat.

Exercise is also a very important aspect in our daily lives in order to maximize the chance of prevention.

I'm still reading a lot about it and hopefully, I will not be afflicted early and spare my children the burden.

I wish I would just die before that happens.

Thanks for your read and comments if any.

Have a nice Monday everyone.

Lots of banter, some even good. Fewer friendships, a small number long lasting. And a number of meetings, interesting and fun, for the most part. Even a few foreign visitors here. Like many of us, pretty picky, and looking still. So settled with good friends, family, and Mr. Bravo---can one even adapt to another human presence in the house, let alone the boudoir? But am so thankful for the few times, over the years, when that emotion/wake up call hit me. Like a proverbial ton of bricks. As with porn, not easy to describe, but who of us doesn't know it when it has us, ecstatic, yet vulnerble, in the clutches? Was it the accent, the different sensibility, hygiene at odds with ours, skill (or lack) in the kitchen, love (or fear) of big dogs, choice of art interests, dress style, way of walking, contageous laughter---or not getting my jokes, variable politics, youthful hairstyle---in one on in years, warm hands, love/knowledge of our bodies, way with children, travel experience, business savy---disaster with money, family stories, old world cultural ways, stalwart ability to put me in my box, fitting nicely under the thumb, ability to teach kindly, ,..... and so on. We begin to focus on it all, abandoning what once served as people skills and good judgment. Priorities change toward accomodation. Barriers seem to collapse. When apart, the minutes drag, not to mention the days, and distance. Who hasn't felt the heart's reaction on meeting each time anew? The increased nervousness yet somehow a new strength when together. Sure, we mispeak at times, and misunderstandings happen, but why are these now of so little import? Why so much pride in another, even, especially, if the family might not approve? How is it that the dreaded "M" word looses power and thoughts of rings and ceremonies, formerly anathama, now beckon? Foibles and faults,....what arre those? One thing is for sure, it's unlike any other human experience, even that toward our own kids. I hope everyone has been there, no matter the outcome, or final pain, at least once in life. Aa.

So many surprising things, many with little explanation or known function. Put hands flat in front of you on the table. Lift all fingers/thumb at least an inch. How'd that go with the ring finger? Pinch all around your face: painful. Now do so at around the angle of the jaw (varies forward and backward on some). Same pain? dozens more. And we're all taken with the "G" spot!?

We always hear about the female menopause, but never the manopause, normally between 40 and 65 years old its alleged that our testosterone levels drop, we do have some bad effects like moodiness, irritability but in general it makes us more positive, we develop more listening skills, we may not hear what’s being said but will nod at the right times and seem more patient with children and animals.

Its bollocks when people say our sex drive decreases, it increases and so does the frequency of our “male members” becoming engorged.

We suffer in different ways but strive to remain men, and be as manly as possible but are sensitive souls, I sobbed uncontrollably when I found a green and a white towel in my bathroom, but then went outside and beat up a rock as I am a man and it’s expected of me.

So women, please give men who maybe having a mid-life crisis a break as we don’t really know what we are doing or saying.

So grateful that a certain Scandinavian country is allowing little ol' me to volunteer there. Plan to spend the summer, while my kids practice living on their own without dear Murmar (she's just next door) in my awesome dig, taking care of my veggie garden, other "plants', tarantulas, pit vipers, Tasmanian devils, one toed sloth, Australian funnels, German Shepard," Mr. Bravo", and full complement transgender haram. One door closes, another opens. In which meetings does one hear such talk? Time to bone up on the Svenske and Arabic. Any bloggers having similar experiences with war stories to share? Hope it doesn't stop me from being a raving conservative reactionary fascist curmudgeon. Salaam aleicum. Shalom lachaiam. Apfele falle ikke langst fra stamme. Onaconapoona. ;--) Aa.
