Why We Need Vitamin Supplements?

How are you doing ladies and gents?

July was a very very god month for me and my family, except for the unfortunate event that we went through a couple of weeks ago. But as I mentioned, I am moving on. I know Ninang is now very happy where she is. And what do you know, we only have five months left and it is Christmas time again!

My life has been pretty hectic since last weekend. I spent a whole day with my mommy friends last Saturday. We indulged ourselves with authentic Chinese food in Binondo, shopped, and talked almost non-stop. By Sunday, I spent quality time with my girls while the hubby played airsoft. I looked after the two girls while they tire themselves in this playplace at a nearby mall. We were there for three hours. Of course, I got tired too because I was the one chasing Maxyn wherever she goes. Come Monday, classes were suspended due to heavy rains from Sunday evening. I and another mom from Alex’s school took that chance to buy the things we will be using for the family day this Saturday. Then yesterday and today, we practiced the dance we will present for the family day as well. Yes, this momma danced again! Woot woot!

I am toxic. I am tired. But I still have my girls and hubby to attend to after a tiring day and I cannot simply ignore them. This is where women’s vitamins come into action. Vitamin supplements give us the extra energy we need. When we are lost, certain vitamins can help us find our balance again. When we are stressed out, we can take supplements that will help us relax and prevent hormonal imbalances. Aside from these, taking vitamins prevents us from getting sick, therefore allowing ourselves be on top of everything that we do.

So if you are not taking vitamins now, you now know what to do.

Information About Tramadol

I am thankful that I am not a very sickly person, nor is anyone in my family. Even so, I think it is important that we know what medicine can cure what.

According to Wikipedia, Tramadol is a centrally-acting synthetic analgesic used to treat moderate to moderately-severe pain. It has a wide range of uses like treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and restless legs syndrome.

While Tramadol is widely available, like the ordinary paracetamol, there are precautions we need to check and look at before taking this medicine.

A person who is allergic to Tramadol, had a case of drug and/or alcohol addiction, or has attempted suicide should never take this medicine. Also, there were seizures recorded among people taking this medicine. If you had seizure before and was prescribed with this medicine, inform your doctor right away.

Other online information says that this drug is habit forming. Thus, if you are to buy tramadol make sure that is keep it safe, away from children, and never share it with someone who is not prescribed with it.

Also, if you pregnant or is trying to conceive, do not take this medicine as its effects to unborn children are not yet defined.

If you have taken this medicine, you may encounter one of the following side-effects: nausea, vomiting, sweating, itching and constipation. Likewise, other patients who were prescribed with this drug for general pain relief with or without other medicines have reported withdrawal symptoms including uncontrollable nervous tremors, muscle contracture, and ‘thrashing’ in bed if weaned off from the medication too quickly.

Tramadol is a very effective drug, according to its users. However, it is very important that you use this medicine as prescribed by a licensed doctor and never self-medicate.

Water Borne Diseases to Watch Out For

It was Wednesday when hubby told me that he is taking a leave from work on Friday. He was sniffing a little so I thought he would like to rest from all the office stress he had gone through for the month. But he said he just wanted to take a leave and not really rest. Picture me thinking of what to do and where to go for the weekend at midnight. I got really excited.

That Friday was a tiring one. I swear. I simply wanted to hit the bed as soon as we arrived but of course, we didn’t.

After Alex’s school, we went to the hospital. Our itinerary includes vaccination for the two girls and ear cleaning for Alex. I peeped at the OB’s door but decided I will just see her next time.

Our pedia gave our girls Typhoid vaccine. She said that during summer season and vacation, cases of this water borne disease goes up because most kids go for a swim. And even if our kids only swim in our backyard, they will surely drink water for their pool, whether intentionally (like what Maxyn did this morning) or accidentally. Even if they bathe themselves first before plunging to the pool and just stay there, the possibility of contamination is really high with other kids joining the fun.

I was really glad we made it to our pediatrician. Well, not that we will be hitting public pools and beaches soon, but who knows.

Aside from Typhoid vaccine, Max is schedule to have her HEP A shot this coming April. I will make sure I do not forget it.

I hope your kids have these shots already. If not, an online buddy suggests yogurt or Yacult. Thanks for the tip, Arcee!
