Four Questions to Ask Your Doctor

Posted by Cecile at 5/11/2011 04:58:00 PM 0 comments
Back when I was still healthy, I never thought I would be able to see a doctor very often till I was diagnosed with "Hypertension" that eventually contributed largely on my kidney disease. Even then, I didn't know what to say or do. Good thing I have a very patient and supportive spokesman, my husband :-). He knows just what to ask my doctors every time they say "pre-disease, borderline or mildly elevate" to describe my condition. If you happened to hear these words, here are 4 important questions to ask:

1. How likely it is that I will get this disease?
2. What are the risks and benefits of drug treatment when used long-term in my situation?
3. Is there any evidence that drug treatment for my condition will prevent bad outcomes, like a heart attack or bone fracture?
4. What lifestyle measures can I take to reduce my risk, and when would you like to see me again to gauge my success?

I think asking these question will help educate you the things you should know about your health condition and what can you do to help the doctor heal you or take care of you.

Thinking of Off Road Lights Lately

Owning a house is an American dream; and if you own one, you are lucky. Having a house is a big responsibility, too! You wanted to protect you greatest and most expensive investment. You can do that by buying a home warranty, insurance and everything. I remember when hubby and I bought our second house almost a year ago. We were both excited for it is a brand new house! Before the contractor built our house, we have gone to the showroom for upgrades. We upgraded the flooring, windows, doors and light fixtures. One thing we have forgotten were flood lights - Off Road Lights. We can't remember why we haven't thought about it before. I guess it is because our place is built on a higher ground. It's been raining a lot here lately but no sign or possibility of flooding. We pray that the flood will never visit us ever!

Protect Your iPod Nano

Hubby and I love to listen to music when we go walking or exercising. We used to have a radio attached to our belt. But when ipod nano came out of the market, we decided to buy one for it is lighter, smaller and nicer :-). iPod nano is like an investment to us since it isn't cheap. And so we looked for ipod nano cases, too! Good thing we purchased one; now our ipod nano is protected and still looks new considering it is already three years ago since we bought it. On the other hand, I just bought an ipod shuffle for my niece.; I wonder it they will make a case for it, too!
