It seems like this season, you can’t even go one day without being bombarded with swine flu information. This is the time of the year when every kid comes home from school covered in germs. You intend to wash your hands enough and maybe even do, but then notice your co-worker, or person near you on the train, filthy, wiping their nose with their hands, touching the rail.  Just the thoughts can make you sick. Well, I have some advice that you may already know…your mom’s. In this case (as in so many) mom knows best. Chicken soup can really make you feel better. It is a warm liquid. It works to suppress the inflammation, it works as a detoxifying agent the vitamins help the immune system and it ju...

According to the CDC, approximately 36,000 deaths were attributed to seasonal influenza last year. The new strain of influenza A (H1N1), known in the media as swine flu, reminds us that influenza can have significant consequences.It's apparent that the new strain of influenza causes the same type of initial symptoms as seasonal flu: high fevers, headaches, body aches, cough, and nausea. Fortunately, most cases are relatively mild and resolve within several days. However, just like seasonal flu, H1N1 also has the potential to cause severe disease, especially in elderly people, children under the age of 2, pregnant women, and those who have underlying lung or heart pro...

Dr. Holly Phillips says most of the time its the common cold. She says adults get between 2 or 4 colds each year and children get as many as 6 to 10 cold each year. The flu tends to come with a high fever and the "run over by a truck" feeling. Doctors do have a rapid flu test available. The one thing this video does not discuss is allergies which can also be confused with a cold or a flu.

All of us grew up hearing, “Take your galoshes (boots, overshoes, rubbers). Grab your umbrella; where are your mittens?” God love us mothers of the world. We do our best to keep our charges safe, as did our mothers, but it isn’t always easy. Now, my mother-in-law, who is a sensible and delightful human being, doesn’t believe getting a chill has anything to do with one’s health. Personally, I think she learned to have that opinion from watching her son grow big and strong. Every fall, she bought him a new jacket. He took it to school and put it in his locker where it stayed until summer rolled around when he took the dusty yet new jacket out and carried it home. Fast forward many years and here I sit, or more accurately, rec... Life with Chronic Pain blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1226876 Tue, 12 Feb 2008 22:33:22 +0100 1226876
