Borderline Personality Disorder Or BPD Needs Full Time Treatment

I always believe in the saying "Health is wealth.".  Because of this, I try my best not to get sick.  But in there are circumstances that minor sickness like allergies, common cough and colds are cannot be avoided especially if we are exposed to the elements that cause these.  They terribly affect our daily lives like how they affect our bodies.  These are common.  And can be cured easily when given an immediate attention.

But there are types of illnesses that need full attention to treat.  In addition to infection, heart ailment, and skin disorders, mental or psychological illness requires long period of time to treat.  Example of a psychological disorder is Borderline Personality Disorder or BPD.  BPD is a serious mental illness.  People with this type of disorder have difficulty controlling their emotions.  They are hard to deal with.  So they need full time of treatment.  BPD treatment facilities have developed effective treatment or care plan for patients with this type of mental disorder. One of the best way to help treat BPD is implementing  multidisciplinary care for patients where they will be able to realized their self-worth.

It is very difficult for family members to adjust to someone who has a BPD in the family. It is better to consult a doctor what is the best recovery facility for your patient.  Encouragement and support help a lot too.

Vision Problems Solved With The Right Prescription Eyeglasses

After moving back to the house last year and all the important matters taken care of after my delivery, my honey and I are getting our periodical health check-ups one at a time. We prioritized the medical and dental check-ups. We already missed your annual eye appointment then.  Now that our schedules are back to normal, it is time for our eyes to be checked because both of us are experiencing vision problems.  Our eyeglasses need replacement too.

I am having headaches (in addition to periodic migraines), blurry vision in the afternoons, teary eyes, and glare sensitivity.  My honey is currently wearing  bifocals.  And he is getting uncomfortable with it. There are many things affected with poor vision.  Reading, writing, and even simple jobs in the house cannot be done very well without proper eyeglasses.  We are due for new prescription eyeglasses.  Our eye appointments should be scheduled soon.  Because of budget concerns, I need cheap eyeglasses for me.  Where else can I find cheaper prescription eyeglasses nowadays?  Zenni Optical.  Same as before, I can choose stylish eyeglasses for as low as $6.95! 

My vision has to be corrected and my honey's eyeglasses have to be replaced as soon as possible.  No time should be wasted.

Migraine Again?


Suddenly I feel weird waking up this morning. My head is aching, my nose is stuffy, and I feel kinda nauseous. Does it mean I am having migraine again?

I could not keep any kind of food down. My stomach is empty. I called my honey at work and asked if he can come home early today because I can hardly tend for my daughter. The nausea is really terrible and I feel miserable. This is unmanageable not like before.

My honey came home at 3pm. I was able to rest but still, couldn't eat well.

Eye Exams: Saving Lives?


Your ophthalmologist can tell if you need glasses, but did you also know the eyes offer hints of important health problems? Changes in the retina can signal risks of diabetes, blood pressure and even foretell a stroke. Find a great eye doctor and schedule regular appointments so that any changes in your eyes are obvious to someone familiar with your history.

I used to look at eyes in the mirror. If I notice something different, I know I have to see a doctor.

My Feet Hurt So Bad

I called in again. My feet was throbbing in pain! I felt tortured. I couldn't stand and walk. And when I do put pressure on my feet, they throb painfully like they are gonna explode. I was crying early in the morning when I wake up to get something to eat. I was miserable! Whenever the pain surges, I tried my best not to break out because my baby is going to feel my pain. I was crying, "Ayoko na! Ayoko na! My feet hurt so much!"

Health Issues During Pregnancy

I am facing some health issues right now. There is an enlarged lymph node on my neck and it just came out suddenly. I had a cold and headache few weeks ago. After that, the lymph node became big. I had a biopsy Friday because my doctor said they had to examine it as soon as possible. They want to know what causes the enlargement so they can suggest a treatment since I am pregnant.

The biopsy result takes two weeks so I might receive a feedback by Friday or Monday of next week. I am praying that this is not very complicated.
