So, I will call her TWM (tired wife/mom).  I completely understand.  You are actually very brave to be able to tell him at such a young age that you will not watch him die.  And kudos to you for telling him that you will not allow your children to watch him die.  It takes strength to say something like that.  And while it's terribly hard to do, it's the right thing (in my opinion). This past week, the...

He is pouting and sulking.... She and I started Atkins and we are eating according to the plan.  We offer what we are fixing to him along with bread or something he can get carbs from. He fixes his own meals or goes to a fast food place and brings it home. He said, "guess I'm on my own again tonight". I said, "if you don't want to eat what we fix, then I guess you are" She and I are talking non-stop about everything.  Making plans to move to the same retirement community. He is answering any question with a one syllable, one word answer We are creating and designing He is sulking and pouting. This week, I happen to be able to see how hilarious this is.  He is trying to manipulate and control by using his emotions ...

Candy easter Pie 4th of July Candy halloween Cake thanksgiving Candy christmas Cake birthday Alcohol new year's eve Is there any "holiday" not related to having something sweet???  Maybe I should retitle all of these as diabetes hell holidays?  :o) Not to mention that we get to have 8 or 9 birthdays per year with the grandkids, and maybe 2 or 3 of each holiday event considering who is where and when. Oh, and you think my non-compliant diabetic husband is going to NOT eat something sweet?  Sigh! I'm still trying to figure out which holiday is the worst and I do believe it is the christmas one as it seems to be the longest. I no longer celebrate any of the holidays here ...

Meanwhile there are things that are much more likely to happen to you — like getting sick — which many of us don’t prepare for at all. So to help you get started, here are five important tips on how you can become a healthcare survivalist: 1.  Take care of your chronic conditions. Whether it’s high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, depression, asthma or any other kind of ailment, do what it takes to manage your own care. Take your medications and follow your doctors’ instructions. Why? Because if you don’t, your condition can get worse and lead to even more serious problems. As much of a pain as it may (...

Men + HD TV = “Yes.” This video is funny on so many levels. *This blog post was originally published at The Happy Hospitalist* (Source: Better Health) Better Health blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3721767 Fri, 02 Jul 2010 12:00:00 +0100 3721767 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3656809&cid=t_158212_87_f&fid=39187&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgetbetterhealth.com%2Fbuzzy-pain-relief-for-kids%2F2010.06.13 Here’s Buzzy, a reusable pain relief device developed by a pediatrician. It works based on the gate control theory of pain: Buzzy is a newly developed reusable pain relief device that children can bring to the doctor’s office with them to help dull the pain of shots! As the brainchild of Pediatrician Amy Baxter, Buzzy rapidly reduces pain when pressed onto the skin. Buzzy is especially helpful for children who receive shots often, like those suffering from diabetes. Buzzy can also be used for the small things, like taking splinters out! Not only is Buzzy a kid-favorite, but it’s safe, effective immediately on contact, FDA compliant, and environmentally friendly, too. *This blog post was originally published at ScienceRoll* (Source: Better Health) Better Health blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3656809 Sun, 13 Jun 2010 12:00:09 +0100 3656809 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1054807&cid=t_158212_109_f&fid=34750&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpsychcentral.com%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2007%2F11%2F27%2Fa-doctors-disdain-for-medical-googlers%2F Earlier this month, Time magazine published a first-person account of a doctor having to deal with a challenging patient who came to him after having conducted some research via Google. The doctor’s description of his disdain for these kinds of patients, and this particular patient and her child, wasn’t very politically correct, which caught the eye of Tara Parker-Pope, who then wrote about it Thanksgiving week. Even with the holiday, the entry has drawn over 275 comments in a week’s time, suggesting Ms. Parker-Pope has really touched a nerve here. (Too bad Time doesn’t allow comments on its articles, as this discussion probably would’ve occurred on their website, instead of a newspaper’s — ah well.) I couldn’t help but notice that this is a...
