25.01.2022 Everyone has different views on vaccinating, however this speaks for itself...

24.01.2022 Lets hope we never need this, but....

22.01.2022 Truck drivers startling one-sided sun damage - the argument for wearing sun protection as proven by the truck driver whose face aged 20 years faster on his win...dow side. To anyone whos ever questioned the power of sun protection cream to slow down ageing, there isnt a more graphic example than this image of the truck driver from Chicago whose face was a staggering 20 years older on one side than the other. Bill McElligott had been driving his milk delivery truck for 28 years, without sun protection. And closed windows or not (UVA, the longer rays responsible skins ageing, can penetrate through glass) the damage was done - all 20 added years of wrinkling and thickening.

22.01.2022 I thought this worth sharing. If you need help, just reach out!

21.01.2022 5 months ago this was me in ICU because of a Tampon. I almost lost my life. It brings me to tears looking at this picture but Im writing this to help people un...derstand the risks of Tampons. If you are a guy reading this please continue because you may have a sister or daughter that could use some guidance. When I was younger I would read the back of the tampon box about risks of TSS and thought Im invincible that would never happen to me. Well I was terribly wrong. At 32 years young I almost died. There is not enough awareness about the risks of wearing a tampon. No, I never left it in more then 6-8 hours. Super absorbency Tampons put you at a higher risk. What happens is the fibers start to develop bacteria then turns into a staff infection and the infection travels to your blood and then to your organs and thats when your body starts shutting down. (I went septic) After my last period I started feeling under the weather. I just didnt feel well. I could tell my body was trying to fight something. Then I developed a swollen lymph node on my left groin. (I thought it was a pulled groin) I felt I was getting a cold. Monday, January 15th is the day I woke up and it all hit me. Flu like symptoms. Fever, chills, vomiting and a rash developed on my Left inner thigh. I had just moved back home to my parents a week prior and If it wasnt for my mom, I would not be here writing this post. The doctors told me if I didnt come when I did I either would have lost limbs or worse... died. I had surgery on my inner thigh where the infection localized. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks being pumped 24/7 with 2 kinds of antibiotics. I was pumped with bags and bags of fluid to raise my blood pressure that I had gained 30 pounds of fluid. After a week of being bedridden I finally looked in the mirror and didnt recognize myself. When I was finally sent home the fight wasnt over. I had an iv attached to my arm 24/7 pumping me with antibiotics along with a wound vac attached to my inner thigh 24/7. It took 3 months to physically get back to my normal life. Mentally Im still struggling with the trauma. Im not super vocal when it comes to the mental part but I really just want women to understand that this all happened from a fucking TAMPON. And if I could save someone from having to go through what I went through I will vocalize any time for anyone who wants to hear. PLEASE TAG your friends, daughters, nieces anyone who could use some awareness on this. Much love Thank you for reading please share this post and raise awareness. #toxicshocksyndrome #sepsis #toxicshocksyndromesurvivor #survivor #sepsisawareness #sepsissurvivor #tampons #risks #awareness #icu #death #women #hospital #almostdied #teens #period #tamponrisk

20.01.2022 I love this poem and thought I would share it, it is so true for so many of us <3 I have recently found the Author of this beautiful poem, her name is Laura Ding-Edwards <3

18.01.2022 Posture is important - dont be a comma, be an exclamation mark! Poor posture may cause a range of problems including back pain, spinal problems, poor circulat...ion and joint degeneration. Osteopaths are witnessing a huge surge in the cases of "text neck" - all that hunching over our devices is having a dire effect on the way we carry ourselves. If you want a professional to assess your posture, why not speak to an osteo? http://bit.ly/FindYourLocalOsteo

17.01.2022 Depression is not just a problem of character, it is a disease! This PET scan shows hot spots of increased activity in the brain of a non-depressed person, comp...ared to the brain of someone with depression. Depression is a condition that is characterised by depressed mood, and/or a loss of pleasure or interest in activities, and other symptoms that affect everyday life and functioning, for more than two weeks. Depression commonly occurs with other illnesses such as anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, phobias and eating disorders. If you or a loved one has symptoms of depression and/or these other mental illnesses, seek medical advice. Treatment is available to lift the depression so you or a loved one can regain a meaningful life.

16.01.2022 Stay safe and look after each other. We don’t want lots of people to end up with this. Just wear a mask and stay home if you can for a little while longer.

16.01.2022 Do you or anyone you know experience pain in the foot during or after exercise? Did you know that it might be down to the lacing technique on your shoes. When y...ou purchase new shoes, they come with a standard technique which wont serve everybody. There are a number of ways you can lace up your shoes to fit a specific purpose, especially those who lead an active lifestyle. If you experience a black toe nail, big toe pain, have high arches or even if your heel feels loose in your shoe, there is a technique for you. Whilst they might improve any discomfort, there maybe an underlying reason that should be addressed by a healthcare practitioner. Thanks, Dan Osteopath

16.01.2022 Something to think about.

13.01.2022 Alice Springs-based cinematographer, Chris Tangey, created this video postcard of our Land Down Under to share with his overseas family and friends for Christma...s. The incredible drone footage has been filmed in every Australian state, except WA. From Milparinka in NSW to the Tiwi islands in the Arafura Sea, Chriss film makes us love our Aussie home even more. : Chris Tangey

12.01.2022 I NEVER KNEW THIS Not many get it but nobody wants it! Wear gloves and a mask. FUNGUS CRYPTOCOCCUS ALERT ... If youll be using a chainsaw to prepare your property for the summer fire season this weekend, please heed this important safety warning from CFA (Country Fire Authority). The recent experience of a CFA volunteer who contracted the rare disease cryptococcal meningitis has highlighted the need for all chainsaw users and those working with them to protect their airways from fungus cryptococcus - a potentially fatal fungus that, when inhaled, may spread via the spinal cord to the brain. The disease can display symptoms of fevers, headaches, muscle aches and tiredness not dissimilar to influenza. This fungus has been found to be especially associated with Eucalyptus trees including River Redgum, Bluegum and Blackwood timbers, soils, and some bird droppings. While it only impacts a small number of Australians each year, those clearing properties using chainsaws are potentially at higher risk - so, make sure you use a P2 mask to protect from inhale-able particles, along with chainsaw chaps, a chainsaw helmet with ear muffs and a visor, and goggles or safety glasses. We wish all our followers a safe weekend - find out more here: https://news.cfa.vic.gov.au/-/chainsaws-and-masks.

09.01.2022 Thats the wrong one, you stupid cow!" The teen boy screamed at his mother, as psychologist Michael Carr-Gregg watched on. Hes seeing a rise in this awful behaviour, and parents are to blame.

09.01.2022 NEW YEAR, NEW YOU Following body imaging scans far too many of us just give up and say I am broken. I am here to tell you, your scan does not define you! As you can see from this infographic [email protected] many of us are walking around with some changes to our structure, but this does not correlate with is in pain and who isnt.... When you are given a diagnosis it does not spell the end of you enjoying the things you like to do. With correct rehab and modifications to routine, most can return to their hobbies. Or find new ones. With the help of a qualified therapist, you can get back to doing what you love. So dont let your scan determine how you live your life.

06.01.2022 Thank you to Jessica Gallagher, QC Bruce Geddes & The Sydney Morning Herald for sharing such an uplifting and inspiring story #OAW2018 https://www.smh.com.au//the-one-thing-you-re-forgetting-in

02.01.2022 Here it is, the month I have been dreading for 11 months now. So I would like to take this time to reshare a post that is very important and very close to my he...art. I know most of you have read it but take a moment to share it again. Last time it helped save the lives of 13 children. Lets make it more. In the wee hours of March 22, 2018 it was like any other. I got off work and I headed to pick up my daughter. She had spent the last week with her dad and I was ready for my snuggles. I was excited to hear about her week and I was dreaming of the late morning breakfast and playtime we would have when we woke up. When I got to the babysitters she had carried her to my car, my daughter was completely knocked out she had had a hard day. In an offhanded way I asked if she was breathing, joking. Until I put my hand on her little chest and I felt no movement. In that moment I completely freaked out. I couldnt finish a thought. I knew I needed to get her back inside and start CPR. I was so mad and terrified. I was yelling at everyone who got in my way or tried to say something. I ran her back inside and laid her down and started CPR on her little limp body. In my head I knew I needed to remain calm but I couldnt, I was yelling at my babysitter and trying to think about doing chest compressions and breathing and freaking out the entire time. Finally, after what seemed like an hour which in actuality was probably only 15 minutes EMS got there and took over. For the next hour while they tried desperately to bring me back my baby I called my parents and her dad, I paced, I cried, I prayed. At times I felt like an outsider watching this awful event unfold. I had always had these nightmares but it was never supposed to happen, not to me. It was the most surreal moments in my life. After an hour of watching them pump my little girls chest and breathe for her, they loaded her up in the ambulance and we followed behind. As we drove to the hospital the worst thoughts flooded into my head. I thought of the fact that the last time I had seen my baby awake she was begging me not to go to work and I went anyway. I was thinking about what it would mean for me if she was gone. I thought of what it would be like to plan my childs funeral and all the things we would miss out on. I prayed to God that if only he would spare my baby I would do whatever he wanted. When we got to the hospital they lead me to the small room off of the waiting room and started asking me all of the questions they ask when you go to the hospital. I foolishly thought this is a good sign. They want to admit her. I was there for maybe 10 minutes before a doctor came in say down beside me and said the words that would forever change my world, he said "we did everything we could but unfortunately we were unable to revive her and she did not survive." That one little sentence devastated my entire being. Everything I was was in that little girl. She was my absolute pride and joy. If you asked me how I was doing it would usually go something like Im good, my daughter.... But in that moment I couldnt feel anything it was like my heart had stopped too. I was an empty shell. The shock was overwhelming. When they took me to her little lifeless body laying on that big hospital bed I lost it. I wanted to hold her and lay with her. They let me. I held her as the heat slowly left her body and her skin became cold to the touch. If I wasnt holding her I was running my hands through her little hair. Singing her favorite song. After about 30 minutes or so they came to me and told me they had run some tests and it appears she had had undiagnosed Type 1 Diabetes and her blood sugar level was in the 500s. I could not comprehend this information. How could my baby have Diabetes? She had went to her wellness check up only the week before and they told me she was healthy. How could she have died from a disease that I know thousands of people manage? For those of you who do not know an average persons blood sugar should not be above 120 and my childs was 5 times the healthy amount. At 300-400 you start to go comatose. My baby had slipped into a coma and her little body was unable to fight its way out, and it gave out. There were no signs leading up to this it was unexpected. Diabetes does not run in either of our families and so we had no idea. Later I found out that Diabetes is not something they test for in small children. They dont typically test until they are school age and show signs. Unless of course it runs in the family. The signs for Diabetes in toddlers are they drink a lot, pee a lot and are tired. It can also appear very suddenly. These signs are easily missed and overlooked because most toddlers do these things. The test is a simple blood sugar test that you have to request at their wellness check-up. So I beg you to ask your childs doctor to test for it. I beg you to become aware of the signs and symptoms of childhood Diabetes. I beg you to share this post and story with everyone because no parent should ever have to hear the words "Im sorry but unfortunately she did not survive". The last time I shared this I got alot of questions that I would like to clear up. No she did not get shots at her wellness check-up. So please do not use my daughters story as an anti-vaxing platform. Also yes, some people have had higher blood sugar and have lived. Not every disease affects every person the same. So please do not tell me that I am lying or that Im using my daughters story to get attention. Because that is exactly what I am doing, getting attention for childhood diabetes. Thank you.
