You hear a strange sound coming from your young son’s bedroom at night. So you go in his room to see what’s wrong.You find your son banging his head into the pillow or mattress. He repeats this action over and over again. Or he may be sitting up, banging the back of his head against the wall or the headboard.The bizarre sight may send a shock of fear through your body. But what you’re seeing is common, and it is rarely harmful.Head banging during sleep is an example of sleep related rhythmic movement disorder. RMD is very common in healthy infants and children. It can occur in both boys and girls.Another common form of RMD is body rocking. Your child may rock her entire body back and forth. She may be on her hands and kne...

A recent study finds specific types of tantrum behaviors which appear to be connected to depression or disruptive disorders in children ages three to six. The researchers, out of the Washington University School of Medicine St. Louis, examined tantrum behavior in 279 children, of which a portion was already diagnosed with mental health problems. Their study, published in the Journal of Pediatrics, found that children that tend to be diagnosed with ADHD and oppositional-defiant disorder are also those that exhibit extremely aggressive behavior during tantrums. In addition, another behavior for parents to be concerned with during tantrums...

Of course, he had never been to our store before, so I had him fill out a patient profile. When he was done, I looked over it to check for missing information (which is common in my store; I mean, who really forgets to write their name down?) Well, he had forgotten to write his birthday down–or so I thought. When I told him I needed his birthday, he told me he didn’t want to give it to me, since I didn’t need it to fill the prescription. (WTF?) When I told him that, yes, indeed, I did need his DOB, he started arguing with me: “Tell me where it says that I’m required to give you my date of birth to get a prescription filled!” Me: “Well, for one thing, I can&#...

My pharmacy’s been really busy lately due to an excess in coupons and the cold/flu season starting. I’ll try to be a better CPhT for you. Since I last posted, we’ve had the insurance system go down twice (company wide), I’ve gotten some overtime filling in at another store (yay), and gathered so many “I gotta blog this” stories, I’ve forgotten half of them. Today, we spent 20 minutes working on a prescription that was already done. How, you may ask? A patient, Ms. Waffler, called and asked to have her Wellbutrin transferred from our store to another of our stores down the highway. I told her she should just call the other pharmacy and ask them to transfer it, since our stores are all connect...
