I am Healed!

     After three days at the hospital, I am now back at our house. It has been almost ten years since the last time I was hospitalized. I didn't expect that I would be hospitalized because I thought it was just a plain flu but I was wrong. It started last Sunday as a headache and I was okay the next day. I was still able to report in the office on the afternoon but latter that night I got a high fever that I was on sick leave on the next day. Since there is no one that could accompany me while I am sick, I went home to the province with my husband. I felt better during the travel. Since Wednesday had been a holiday, I was able to visit the camp ground of our church. The camp ground was located on a higher ground and it was so cold in there so my husband and I decided to go home. Later that night back in our house, I had again a high fever and thankfully it subsided but it made me decide to schedule a check up with a doctor by morning. Our guess is either UTI or dengue. I...

Cigarette Addiction

Cigarette smoking became an addiction when your body needs continual intake of nicotine, the main ingredient of cigarette. I am glad that some members of my family already quit smoking. I was able to witness how one of my brothers had been into smoking. He would even ask me to buy his cigarettes for him. He would sometimes light his cigarettes even if I am  there that I could also inhale the smoke. I am glad that I never tempted to try one. Once cigarette smoking is started and you became addicted to it, it would already be so hard to quit from it. It was a long process of quitting cigarette smoking on my brother's part. It took him several months to finally say that he quitted smoking. Still, it was not yet the end of it for when he had been with our elder brother and saw that he is smoking, he returned back to cigarette smoking. For quite some time he is smoking again but out of nowhere both my brothers quitted smoking. Maybe their strong religious belief gave them the deter...

Sexy Body

     It has been months since I keep on tracking my weight. Since then there is no development in achieving my goal. There are still no changes that happened. I am very hopeful that my weight will decrease but it looks like it is increasing or it looks like it get stuck on a stable number. I do not want to be at this state and I think I do not have strong motivation in order achieve this goal. I have a lot of plans but it is not followed because of some health issues or some other activities. Now I admit losing weight is really challenging and not easy. If things did not work out for me in achieving my goal to lose weight, for some it did work out.      My officemate seems to do things that work out for him in his endeavor to lose weight. He has the motivation to stay focus and do everything to lose weight. He is losing weight and continues losing. He has a strict routine in going to the gym every morning and keeping track of his diet. He is also buildin...

Bedrest

     It is a long holiday because of the Holy Week. Instead of hitting the beach or travelling in any tourist spots, unlucky for me I have to stay at the house. To make the scenario worst, aside from staying at the house I also have to take a bedrest. Though it is not a doctor's advice, I still have to because in every move I make my menstruation and my dysmenorrhea gets worse. My husband accompany me to get over to this but he was not used to stay in bed that he was not feeling well on the following day. I really pity my husband because he did not have an enjoyable vacation during this long holidays and now he is sick as well because of me. I hope we could get through to this by tomorrow.      Eventhough I am on bedrest, it would not hinder me from doing some payperpost oppurtunities. Luckily there are some offers. It will get me busy and forget some pains in my body. Thanks to the online freelance writing service at essaywriters.net for giving me some...

Checkups

        I had my medical check up for today. Thanks to Maxicare, I never paid the consultation fee and the laboratory test. I was also grateful to be referred to a good doctor. I was referred to Dr. Salvador who was not only an OB-Gyne but also handles infertility problems. As usual, my ultrasound result states that I have retroverted polycystic ovaries just like my ultrasound results before. It is still the same but I am now so eager to find time to visit my OB-Gyne and try possible solutions to conceive specially now that I have Maxicare. It is a health benefit given by the company and truly they shoulder every medical expense I should have incurred.  I am thankful for this and also grateful to know the results that nothing like lumps, big cysts or myoma is inside my uterus.         I also had my eye check up and the doctor told me that my vision is still okay. There is no recommendation for me to wear ...

Not Feeling Well

    I madet it through the night after not feeling well. I felt I could not breathe and my head aches terribly. Few days ago I had an LBM and the next day after that I vomited early in the morning. Last night I could not properly sleep because my head aches. During that day, I vomited early in the morning, then after feeling better I traveled to go home to the province. Later that night I was facing the computer to work for some payperpost job regarding essays when I started to feel like my world is spinning. I don't know what is happening with my body.  Surely in the next day I will consult a doctor. Thanks for all who prayed for me.

Blurry Vision

     A couple of days ago, I was so alarmed by a sudden feeling of nausea, severe headache and blurry vision. It might had been the symptoms of anemia of which I had been diagnosed before or I might already be experiencing a slight eye problem. I don't want to wear an eyeglass  that I haven't visited an eye specialist yet. If only Marc Werner, MD is nearby that I could visit for a discounted eye diagnosis. Hope in the coming days I won't experience that feeling again.

Weighing Scale

             I had achieve the first step in watching out my weight which is buying my own weighing scale.lol. I am more keen on quantitative basis rather than mere intuition which is why I bought a personal weighing scale. I really want to assure than I am losing or gaining weight based on what the weighing scale presents rather than rely on my own feelings and observation. Now I know that I am still overweight no matter what type of weighing scale I will use but with this weighing scale, I could now keep track on my weight. 

Red Month is Over

           Finally, after a month of menstruation it finally stopped. I was diagnosed before of hormonal imbalance and until now it is still not corrected. There is a four-month interval in between menstruation and one month of menstruation. If three days of menstruation is already a hassle, how much more if enduring it for a month. But thank God I was able to survive it and found some means to endure it.          First thing is of course my ever reliable "Sisters" which had never put me to shame. Though this is not a paid post by them, I am happy to share that "Sisters" is a very reliable companion, I am using the blue one brand which is for heavy flow and for night use because regular type wont work for me. I also like to use it because aside from its reliability, it is also very affordable. Also while sleeping I also have my rubber mat. It was really designed for babies but I am using it to prevent from staining my bed sheets jus...

Organic Natural Makeup

        Little girls really wanted to put some makeup. They always look at makeup artists on how they put the  different cosmetics. As a child they always wanted to be big girls that applying makeup is one of the things they imitate. With the many products that come out in the market right now, parents should choose organic beauty products that would be safe for the children. It is safe even if Kids Play Makeup and they used it. With its organic content, it is good for the skin specifically on the face which is the visible and sensitive part of the body. Beside from its quality organic content, it would also show our natural beauty. 

Wines

        Of all alcoholic drinks, wine is the most popular. It is also the drink that could be present in any occasions. It may be during birthdays, parties, events, and special occasions. A wedding would not be complete without the drinking of wines which symbolizes that the bride and groom are taking into themselves the qualities of each others families. Even in a Catholic mass, drinking of wine by priests is part of the ceremony. It is really no question why wines have great popularity and value but what really is wine.      Wine is a fermented fruit juice made usually from grapes. It comes in long-neck bottles and stored for years. The longer the age of wine, the tastier it is. That is why there are people who collect wines and reserves it for special occasions. Vintage wines are usually considered as collectors' items for their age, price, taste and rarity. In the market, there are already thousands of brands of wines to choose ...

Whole Body Massage

          It feels so nice after a session of a whole body massage. As advised by some friends, I am having at least once a month a whole body massage in order to have a regular menstruation. The one who massages us is also a midwife that knows how to position an ovary to its proper place through massage. It might not do me any harm if I try it, so I gave it a try. After one month of my first session of a whole body massage, I had my menstruation. I really can't believe it. My menstruation cycle is usually every after four months that having only a one month interval surprised me. I already tried medication before to correct this but nothing happens. Maybe massage is really the cure I am looking for. Aside from the massage, maybe my stress-free daily activities also helped in correcting this. No matter what it is, I am glad to have my whole body massage because of the different feeling of relaxation it could give.

Flu

Flu is very much common nowadays. It will start out with sneezing, then running nose and followed by cough and headache. It maybe brought by change in weather and mostly common during rainy season. We may consider it as mild sickness but if it will strike us, our jobs and daily routine will still be affected. As the best advice ever, prevention is still better than cure. We should eat a lot of fruits reach in vitamin C or food supplements that will boost our immune system. Enough rest is a must so that our body would not be easily infected with any viruses. Drinking a lot of water could also help because it is one way of cleansing our body.In this rainy season, having a flu is really a no, no. Don't get yourself infected with flu. Take care.

Diagnosis

A couple of days ago, my mother had been rush to the hospital due to high blood pressure. Her blood pressure reach 150/90.We assumed it was caused by hot temperature or some food that she eaten during that day that triggers for this to happen. According to the diagnosis of the emergency ward doctor, my mother had a pneumonia that causes for the blood pressure to increase.Since during that time all the hospital rooms for patients had been fully booked due to high cases of dengue and flu, we waited for all the tests to be done and when it is done and my mother's blood pressure subsided, we go home by midnight. The following day my mother's doctor who is also her second cousin diagnosed my mother with UTI (urinary tract infection). A different diagnosis compared to the one given by the emergency ward doctor. So another set of medicines had been prescribed. Since we are more confident on my uncles' capabilities,we followed her prescription and besides my mother is vomiting with...

Unwanted body fats

When you always see yourself in the mirror, you won't notice what are the big changes of your body. Usually our friends and other people who haven't seen us for quite some time notice the differences. As I see myself in the mirror everyday,what I see is the same as yesterday.What I have not notice is that I am gaining some weight. I have a hormonal imbalance that triggers this to happen. Before I manage to lose some weight and because of this notion I became lax with my diet. It was only lately that this idea sink in to me. While shopping and fitting for some clothes I've notice the bulging excess fat. Also, some of my friends are telling me that I am gaining some weight. With these, I should not let these happen to me. I should look after with my diet. Since summer is approaching it would be an eye sore wearing a swimsuit exposing those unwanted body fats.I must strive to be physically fit.Hard work, self-discipline and good diet are the things I needed to reach my goal. S...

Quantum Pendant

Quantum pendant is made of natural minerals that produces scalar energy promoting positive flow of energy in the body.I had my quantum pendant on the latter part of January 2010. My mother gave it to me as gift because she believes in what quantum pendant can do. At first I thought that it was just a marketing strategy that through demo they can show that quantum pendant can improve your balance and boost your energy. But a week of wearing it, I see the difference. My first week of wearing this I am always sleepy but I don't easily get tired. Before if I sleep late, I wake up feeling tired but now with quantum pendant even if i sleep late, i wake up feeling refreshed.My bowel movement also improved and also my stamina in working. Before,I am used to get tired after whole day of working whereas compared today after work I can still do other things like cleaning the house.Quantum pendant may just be a marketing strategy or not, I am happy to have it because for me it works!.
