17.01.2022 Allergies are increasing in Australia and affect around one in five people. There are many causes of allergy, and symptoms vary from mild to potentially life threatening. Allergy is one of the major factors associated with the cause and persistence of asthma. Allergy occurs when a person reacts to substances in the environment that are harmless to most people. These substances are known as allergens and are found in dust mites, pets, pollen, insects, ticks, moulds, foods and... some medications. Atopy is the genetic tendency to develop allergic diseases. When atopic people are exposed to allergens they can develop an immune reaction that leads to allergic inflammation. This can cause symptoms in the: Nose and/or eyes, resulting in allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and/or conjunctivitis. Skin resulting in eczema, or hives (urticaria). Lungs resulting in asthma. Spring is one of the most common seasons for allergy flare ups. Speak to your GP to get better control of your allergies.

16.01.2022 About 20% of Australians suffer chronic pain, and this will increase as the population ages. In up to 5% (or about one million people), the pain has a significant impact on function and quality of life. Australia’s multidisciplinary pain clinics cannot see this number of patients, therefore much of the load for managing people with chronic pain falls on general practitioners (GPs), pharmacists and nurses. Seek advice from your GP about your pain management options. There are other treatments rather than opioid medication.
