This article got me wondering:
EmpowHer's Health Tip: More Americans Taking Drugs for Chronic Health Problems
http://empowher.com/content/empowhers-he...
Are we a society of hypochondriacs, or are there environmental issues we're not dealing with well enough to be as healthy as we should be with all our state-of-the-art medical care?
What's your take?

Got a case of the Jimmy Legs?
Some people believe Restless Leg Syndrome is one of those fancy new afflictions that people think they have because it's trendy and sometimes it seems that one must suffer from some kind of syndrome or other to belong!

It all started with the Personal Healthcare Journal for Seniors.
My mother-in-law sees five different healthcare providers and was having trouble remembering who said what. After much research I created a tool to help her record and track her medical information. Check it out at www.mycarenecessities.com
The book has been out for just six weeks and the response has been amazing - not so much from the seniors but from the baby-boomer generation.

A few years ago, my older brother and my Mom accompanied me as I had my wisdom teeth removed. I was lucky enough to have a doctor that cared about my feelings and answered my concerns. She was able to give me dissolvable stitches so I wouldn't have to come back to have them removed. The surgery went ok.
When I was coming out of the anesthesia, I got up too quickly and the nurse seemed to force me down. I didn't realize that I'd have "jello" legs. A few minutes later, the nurse helped me into the wheelchair and again in order to get me into the car.

For a few years now, I have been suffering from severe migraines. I have been to the regular family doctor, and also to a neurologist. First, they thought I had a brain anurism, but descovered that there is just what they call a "knuckle" in one of my central blood vessels in my brain. Ive been on a few medications to try to prevent the migraines, but nothing seemed to work. I used to take Excedrine: Migraine, but much to my suprise, the neurologist informed me that taking Excedrine Migraine habitually can actually induce migraines.

As long as I can remember, I have battled my weight.
I recall attending my first Weight Watchers meeting when I was just 8 years old, joining the group and losing 25 pounds. And like most people who have a weight problem I grew up trying many other diets, including Phen-Fen, liquid protein drinks, The Zone, Atkins, and everything else in between.

I read one of EmpowHer's leading news stories on a recent study out of Yale on preeclampsia and the effect of dark chocolate. I must say I'm a little skeptical about the study.
