Negativity is a Magnet

I apologize for writing such negative topic today. After not writing for the long time now I am here to share this not so good information. Forgive me for I only want to share my experience and how it affects my health as well.

As of the moment I am in an employment status which no one will like to be in my shoes. It's hard and frustrating and all the processes seemed telling me to give up. Knowing myself I won't giving up. Aside from the detailed fact that I want to proved something, I took this as a new challenge on the all new chapter of my life. But the worst part of being in this situation was that having a colleague with an extreme negative vibes. His words of discouragement was so powerful. His statements full of negativity and even his face and facial reactions were full of negative vibes. Good thing I am tough that cannot be much affected of his utterances. Whenever he vents out negativism I do my favorite frustration healing defense mechanism, my guilty pleasure . Shopping at Zalora. In this way I am not going to have an enemy because I need not to argue. Not be affected because I won't listen and I am occupied and the best part is I am enjoying. Negativity is a magnet so might as well avoid being with negative people.

Undergone a Diet Counseling

I am aware of diet counseling but not to the extent that I thought I will once going to be a patient of a dietician. Yes! It never crossed my mind even when I am still young and studying nursing. Even on my first pregnancy. It just happened this year to my second pregnancy. I am in a bit confuse on how my body works inside that I have to suffer such while I am not doing more than the usual on my first pregnancy and I am even more active in household chores while this second pregnancy starts. Really until today I am writing this post I am wondering how and why. The only thing that  I though it was manifested is through stress. Been in a lot of stress when second pregnancy starts , during around first and second trimester but other than that as I mentioned I have more than activities and exercise this time. 
Anyway, as I undergone a  thorough  diet counseling, I've got to learn a lot of things about nutrition and the proper diet. Before I am only eating five times a day but now it turned to be six times but with the smaller quantity. Also I learned to be more aware on calories, protein, fats and carbohydrates intake on each meal I have to eat. It isn't that hard to maintain. It only composes of self control. It also need not to hurt the household budget, just be familiar with foods and it's vitamin contents.
I just realize it isn't bad once in a while consult a dietician. Not most of what we read and see over the internet and books can give us the proper understanding of dieting.

(PUPP)Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy

This maybe sound too scientifically but in layman's term this is just an itchy bumpy rash. Annoying but benign that usually develops on the abdomen near the umbilical area and spreads to the thighs and extremities.When worst comes into worsts itching can  become very severe and spread to the rest of the body but good thing not in the face. Acne most of the time attacks the face of a pregnant woman and this is due to hormonal changes. But despite this rashes it has no risk to your pregnancy. The thing that makes it a risks is because of the urge of the pregnant woman to maintain a clean skin that is tempt to use products unsafe for the baby.

What Causes PUPP?
No one really knows. Even doctors don't have a concrete explanation about it. It was not correlated with the increased level of hormones that usually takes place in a pregnant woman. But theory says that fetal cells invade the mother's skin during pregnancy reason for it to develop PUPP. Another theory says that it is genetic and can be traced through the father's side. PUPPP usually appears in the third trimester and disappears after childbirth.

What to do with PUPP?
Basically nothing. Just make yourself comfort. Take a bath several times. Put some cold compress to soothe a feeling. Oatmeal or baking soda bath. And for not to worsen the condition wear gloves if you can't resists in scratching.

Accept it there were certain situations that makes us discomfort yet no one can explains. That's how complex a humans body. But despite conditions like these, let's just look at the brighter side.  Like for an instance, this is one way of helping our baby inside soothe their feeling inside since we cannot barely touch them and the consequences for them to be pampered is in ours, their moms.

BodyTite or Radiofrequency Procedure

Nowadays having a body beautiful is more and more affordable than before. Not literally that cheap anyway but as it is more convenient than the usual. Because of the expanding and growing technology and also the results of uneven diet, a lot were looking for remedies in widening waist lines and bulky arms and legs. More and more people are going in for liposuction surgery because of the remarkable body contouring possible through this. Minimally invasive liposuction treatment is more popular now since it is safer and more effective. BodyTite liposuction is a minimally invasive, radiofrequency assisted procedure that ensures remarkable fat removal and skin tightening to provide a slimmer and toned look.The BodyTite procedure is safe and comfortable and is offered at reputable plastic surgery facilities.This liposuction treatment is carried out under local anaesthesia. Radiofrequency assisted liposuction is unique in that it treats only the body parts with excess fat, leaving the surrounding cells unharmed.

BodyTite can be used to remove surplus fat from the face, neck, chin, arms, abdomen, love handles, hips, thighs, knees and buttocks. Surgical trauma is reduced because of the preheating of the treatment area and gentle fat removal. Features such as skin temperature monitoring and limit control features prevent thermal hot spots and over treatment. Downtime is minimal, and patients are not required to stay overnight. 

Hip Replacement

Maybe not everyone is aware of this treatment that this exists but I tell you yes it did! First, what, how, why and when do this hip replacement being process to a patient.

Hip replacement India is one of the countries expert in the said procedure.This isn't a simple operation plus the fact that it is really uncomfortable after operation. So might as well take care of every parts of your body and never assume nor take for granted the pain that being felt. Always consult your physician.  Hip Surgery in India is proven to its quality service and operations. Aside from it's more economical than other country wherein the procedure is the same, yet the quality was not being compromised.

Hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which the hip joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant. Hip replacement surgery can be performed as a total replacement or half replacement.There are lots of causes why to undergo this operation. This is a major and sensitive operation. I include some major risk factors why it is being performed. 

Blood Clots

> blood clots in the legs are the most common risks associated with hip replacement

Infection

> this is a recurring infection from an operation on the pelvis. The severity of infection my lead to hip replacement.

Excessive Bleeding and Fractures

> vehicular accidents that cannot be preventive and worst cases including fractures, severe type that necessary to undergo this operation.

Dislocation

> this is the simplest way and sometimes mistakenly taking for granted especially to elders whom overlooked the pain as arthritis or gout.  A simple slip on the floor may cause a surgery.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Tendonitis or Hands Paresthesia

On my third trimester, I suddenly felt this tingling and numbness feeling on my right hand. In fact as I type this post my right hand were not doing well still. I already mentioned this to my doctor and she only advised me to have a stress ball to squeeze from time to time. It's been a month or so that I felt this. I just have to manage it by exercising yet no single seconds that the numbness fades nor the tingling sensation. It was as if a dead hand when I try to grasp things I can but it needs support. I am a little bit of worried but as I prioritize today is me giving birth. So far I can tolerate the feeling but I know sooner after I give birth , I will focus on treating this.AS I look for my own medication, I tried to look online what is exactly I am suffering to. Providing the symptoms I am feeling, I found to categorized it as a carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis or Hands Paresthesia.

Carpal tunnel syndrome

Numbness, tingling pain, and weakness in the thumb, index and middle fingers as a result of irritation of the median nerve being irritated at the wrist.

Tendonitis

Hand tendonitis symptoms occur when the tendon, the tissue that connects the hand's muscles to its many bones, becomes inflamed. Tendonitis often occurs due to overuse, although the tendons can become inflamed after an injury. Any tendon in the body can develop tendonitis, but the hand and wrist are particularly prone to the condition because they are so often used.

Hands Paresthesia

Vitamin B12 deficiency and severe conditions of multiple sclerosis are some of the conditions which may cause the tingling sensation. A person experiencing a heart attack also experiences paresthesia in the hands.There are several other conditions which will cause such symptoms. Some of these are low levels of thyroid, any form of diabetes, stroke, migranes, Sjogren’s syndrome and the Guillain Barre Syndrome. The use of certain medications is also known to cause this condition. Antihistamines and drugs that are used to treat migraines often cause these symptoms.

Neither the three condition I don't want to suffer. Especially I know it will limits my bonding with my baby when she arrives. As for today  I will use home remedies, like ice pack, stress ball or exercise just to ease temporarily the numbness and tingling.

How Diet Can Help My Baby

Just right in time I am on a prescribed diet. So as I wanted to share this to everyone. If you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant, that should give you extra of a cause to lose weight. Whereas simply being chubby carries health problems, there are additionally problems for the infant when you find yourself overweight. When you are attempting to get pregnant, you need to observe diets. However, if you are already pregnant, you should talk to your doctor as a result of losing weight may additionally hurt the baby.While your weight might be putting issues in your bones, muscular tissues and veins, you must also think about what the additional weight shall be doing to your unborn baby.

The primary problem is that  will be prone to further problems throughout the pregnancy, particularly in the course of the later stages. There are also dangers of needing a c-section relatively than having the ability to have the newborn naturally, which has issues in itself; there is a cause why doctors desire the natural birth.It can be very tough to see whether or not the baby is rising healthily while carrying it since the ultrasounds could not be capable to see clearly through the fat. You can miss out on finding out about pure birth defects or whether there are any risks of your child being born with a disability. That is typically an important part of the being pregnant to search out out whether the child may have the perfect chance of survival and a high quality of life.

There can even be more danger of developing infections when  carrying the newborn and when  giving birth. Immune system will be much decrease and  physique might be affected by the surplus weight already; it'll all be weakened by carrying a baby.It'll acquire weight while  going by means of  being pregnant and that is healthy for a lot of women. Nevertheless, in case a person already chubby, you should not gain as a lot as you'll when you were at a healthy weight degree to begin with. In fact, in case you are overweight, you must refrain from gaining greater than 10 pounds.

Blighted Ovum

I have a friend currently suffering these situation I am going to post. I was so sad since yesterday I found about this thing. They have been trying to conceived for two years and my friend had a twice miscarriage now this third scenario makes her feel in deep vain. The couple really praying to have a baby. I wish this time my good friend overcome these trials. I know she can! My prayers is with them. I just want to be thankful to them and I am so flattered that among our big group of friends the couple did told to me first the situation prior to their parents and friends where they were now. All through the miles they preferred to share it to me. Basically means for me that they trusted and took me as a real friend. I will always be thankful to these couple for sharing me the good things and the triumphs of their life throughout the years not physically being together.

Blighted Ovum is a type of  pregnancy loss. Usually it was called as missed abortion or a silent miscarriage. The fertilized egg (ovum) implants in the uterus (womb), but for some reason a baby does not develop. It can happen to anyone.. It usually happens accidentally. The cause of these pregnancy is still unknown. It's thought to be an accident of nature. After the egg was fertilized b the sperm the cells begin dividing. Some cells develop into the embryo, and others develop into the placenta and membranes. In this case the cells that would have become the embryo fail (probably because a mistake happened during fertilization, and there are too many or too few chromosomes), but the cells that become the placenta and membranes keep developing, so the pregnancy sac continues to grow inside the uterus and the placenta starts to form. 

The woman body will not going to recognized that the baby is not developing. The usual pregnancy symptoms can be felt and the presumptive signs. This  will only be found out on the first ultrasound.

 This is how the Blighted ovum ultrasound looks at 12 weeks

 

 A normal 12 week ultrasound

A blighted ovum condition may be treated by a dilatation & curettage (D&C) or local term as raspa. Or it maybe expelled by the body naturally if the woman feel pain and experienced bleeding. Normally women suffer blighted ovum had a successful pregnancy after.

Second Trimester

I am now on my second trimester of pregnancy and I am so happy each day passed. I get so excited knowing I am on my way near to motherhood. I am done with the hard physiologically and emotionally stage at the first trimester. Gladly I survived it all though it means quiting my job but no regrets. I am happy.This is an exciting time of pregnancy as I see and feel the fetus changing and growing as well as watching my own body change. It is also the stage wherein disappearance of fatigue, nausea, morning sickness, and breast tenderness. So basically it's the easiest stage of pregnancy.But still I am watching out for some complication because I know though how easy to deal with these stage, it is still the phase wherein body needs to adjust with the growing fetus. More likely prone to urinary tract infections and bladder infections. Some women develop constipation and hemorrhoids. Some dietary adjustments can make women feel more comfortable and reduce these pregnancy symptoms. Women also usually start to show during this stage of pregnancy and they may notice signs of weight gain in areas like the thighs and upper arms.

Inside the uterus, the fetus develops a sleep-wake cycle and becomes much more active and inquisitive. Between 14 and 18 weeks, the fetus will start to move. Some landmarks in fetal development that happen during the second trimester of pregnancy include the development of reproductive organs, appearance of the swallowing reflex, hair growth, appearance of fingerprints, development of skeletal bones, and the development of hearing. In addition, the fetus is able to make facial expressions.

Though I have been read and studied about this fact years ago, I am still fascinated until today how magical the womans body and the fetus inside how it develops.

Leukemia on Kids

I posted here on my blog about the exercise most kids in our plae addicted too. It's a dancing ativity wherein my friend is their choreographer and they were practicing everyday in front of our house. One of those cool kids died last Tuesday. It was a sudden death that almost everybody didn't expects.The kid didn'tshow any symptoms. He was as naughty as he is and as lively as what he used to be. All of a sudden the kid just complaint of sore eyes and body weakness. He was just brought to the hospital because his father noticed his eyes were swollen. From that day he never went back home and the last time we heard was that he's dead. That fast. It's just a week. Later on we found out that the diagnosis to him was leukemia.

That's him, the last Christmas Party we gave for our avid customers and sadly his last party with us.

Leukemia is a cancer of the bone marrow, the spongy center of the bones that makes blood cells. More common in children under the age of 10.In leukemia, abnormal white blood cells divide out of control and crowd out the normal cells in the bloodstream. The abnormal white blood cells are not mature, and therefore cannot carry out their infection-fighting function in the blood. These cells crowd out healthy white blood cells, as well as the red blood cells which carry oxygen to the body and the platelets which cause the blood to clot.

Leukemia is treated by combination chemotherapy and sometimes radiation.

GT Moved Here : The Health Call

Whew! I am still thinking if I will chip in.lol  Since it talks about health, I am not sure and can’t trust myself if I can do so. Aww whatever so this may be a list of I plan to but relatively not sure if I can..hihihihi

Since I really gain HUGE weight   last year along with it almost most of my laboratories also soar to its high level specifically my blood sugar. This is a call that I need to have a healthy lifestyle this year. Though I am a nurse by profession, I always take for granted my own health. I am a severe paranoid health conscious to my love ones but not to consider myself. I admit I am good at prescribing meds or referring (I am not a doctor I know he he) to friends and to those who were asking but I am the type of afraid to medications. I can drink any kind of alcohol beverages but it’s hard for me to drink a cough syrup or a cold tablet or capsule. I am good at self natural therapy. It includes water, rest and sleep. That’s how I took care of myself.

Along with gaining weight, there were lots of risk factors that might trigger an illness. Most of illness being visible or trigger severity when gaining weight. I remember two years ago also a GT topic topic where girls are asked to share for vital stats. Upon checking old post I really felt the huge weight that adds and the difference of the vital stats also increased much. No wonder I am feeling a little bit of sick most of the time. Considering the fact that I am not getting any younger and vices help me to grow older than my age shows.

I plan and pray that I can, first quit my ultimate vice. Second maintain my blood sugar level into normal value since we plan to get church wedding and it is a risk factor not having a baby if I cannot uphold my blood sugar. Lastly, bring back the old body and play my game.

Wish me luck dear ladies this is my share for today’s GT. Read more by clicking the badge.

Appendectomy

It is a treatment operation  in an inflamed appendix which to be called appendicitis. This is just a minor operation as long as the appendix is not ruptured. The causes of appendicitis are not well understood, but it is believed to occur as a result of one or more of these factors: an obstruction within the appendix, the development of an ulceration (an abnormal change in tissue accompanied by the death of cells) within the appendix, and the invasion of bacteria. Under these conditions, bacteria may multiply within the appendix.

The appendix may become swollen and filled with pus (a fluid formed in infected tissue, consisting of while blood cells and cellular debris), and may eventually rupture. Signs of rupture include the presence of symptoms for more than 24 hours, a fever, a high white blood cell count, and a fast heart rate

. Very rarely, the inflammation and symptoms of appendicitis may disappear but recur again later. 

Symptoms of appendicitis are somewhat vague, but usually pain in the abdomen, which occurs firstly around belly button but then moved to the lower right area, is a classic symptom of appendicitis. Other symptoms can include constipation and diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, loss of appetite and a low fever that appears in conjunction with the other symptoms.

Treatment for appendicitis is appendectomy only. Most suggested of all physicians.

Sciatica Pain

Recall, the age-old expression "Ignoring the problem will not make it go away," well it still holds correct. How many go to bed, or wake in the morning, with nagging lower back pains that appear to get worse and worse with passing time. Undeniably, sciatica pain is something that must on no account be ignored. Sadly, countless back pain, sciatica, or herniated disc sufferers convince themselves that it's their mattress, a strain, or simply old age. So, ignoring sciatica pain will not make it go away if that is what it if truth be told is; it might allow it to become far worse.

What Causes Sciatica

Sciatica might create pain and discomfort, weakness, even lack of feeling along the sciatic nerve's pathway. Moreover, it's accompanied by low lower back pain and afflicts every individual at some time and to some extent. Again and again, this perplexing problem causes lower back pain that can occur unexpectedly and can go on for an extended time. For this and several other reasons, when back pain sufferers ignore sciatica pain, they are ignoring a issue that may turn into a life-long battle. Though the causes for sciatica pain are abundant, it should not be assumed that it is just an aggravated muscle. Infections, ruptured discs, internal bleeding, and causes which are more serious aren't uncommon. Suffering through the pain will not make it go away.

Can I Treat it on My Own?

Some people take matters into their own hands. They utilize a holistic technique to battling their back pain. Well-known stretching exercises, just like Pilate or yoga, may assist to minimize the pain if strained muscle tissues cause it. Clearly, pain pharmaceuticals can be the cause of some comfort, but might have a very counter outcome. Moreover, by just treating the pain, adults can continue to strain their back for the reason that they over exert themselves. This can deteriorate the illness and cause further dependence upon the pain pharmaceuticals.

What About Bed Rest?

While this might assist for strained muscle, it isn't recommended to stay inactive for too long. When adults do not do some exercise, the muscles that support their back weaken. So, this deteriorating might produce more harms since the muscles are no longer strong enough to hold the spinal column in position. Just remember that this may aggravate the issue even more. Definitely, bed rest is usually recommended for short durations, nonetheless continuous bed rest is rather like ignoring the sciatica pain.

What Needs to be Done?

Certainly, a doctor needs to be consulted for pains that do not get better with brief bed-rest, anti-inflammatory treatments, or stretching. Just remember that there are serious reasons for sciatica pain that may necessitate physical therapy or maybe surgery. In the extreme cases of surgery, the longer the sciatica pain is ignored the less probable that even a surgical process will allow a full recuperation.

Do not ignore sciatica pain. Sooner or later, the potential for chronic pain seriously isn't worth the pride of fighting through the pain. Consulting a physician can seriously reduce your recuperation time and discover if it is something that has got to be addressed professionally.
