For so long I kept my children away from their bio father and family. As my daughter got older and moved out…

I was watching an old episode of the TV series MASH this morning and Alan Alda’s character was main focus.  They thought he had come down with something and they were trying to investigate just what it could be.  Alan’s character kept sneezing and itching. They gave him Benadryl and had him pretty much on bed rest. Since his character was a doctor they went through the belongings of service members…

I have used my cbd muscle rub alot more today. I knew something didn’t seem right about that. I have never had anyone tell me that I could take them prior to…

Originally posted 2019-02-06 08:24:03. This kid of mine ❤’s his burritos. Anyone else’s autistic child or autistic adult have a massive love for burritos?

His main menu consists of hot dogs, burritos, more hot dogs more burritos… I mean he does eat other foods but for the most part that is what he asks for. Maybe…

Ultrasound treatment for Epilepsy

Originally posted 2019-01-31 09:10:18. In a first-in-world clinical trial, researchers at The Ohio State University College of Medicine are studying how well focused ultrasound surgery works in adults with a specific type of epilepsy whose seizures are not controlled by medication.

Or isn’t it obvious [sce emoji=”wink”/] ?   Over the years my dogs had reoccurring ear infections that found us in the vet’s office quite often to get medication to treat it. This got expensive when it was more than one dog at different times.  After a multitude of appointments with the veterinarian I started looking for alternative remedies or at the…
