whats happening in the clinic this week
am seeing a lot of patients with allergies
the mold counts are high this week and probably will
be high next week if we get rain
runny noses, watery eyes, headaches, body aches, sneezing,
coughing, and just feeling miserable are signs and symptoms
of allergies
we soon will be into the dreaded cedar season here
once the freezes occur then the cedar pollen starts to climb
if we have a dry winter then the counts will go sky high
sometimes it looks foggy here in places but it is the cedar
pollen popping out
this could be a bad cedar pollen season so be ready if you
live around here
use loratidine (generic claritin) every day and use
eye allergy drops to control my symptoms
you can develop allergies at any age
sucks to get old
am seeing a lot of strep throats in children symptoms are
fever,sore throat, headache, body aches and sometimes nausea vomiting
diagnosis is made with strep test and treatment is usually with
penicillin or amoxacillin unless you are allergic to them
saw an older gentleman who is 78 years old
he was very active doing carpenter work every day
recently he stopped doing that
and is just sitting around doing nothing
he has gained 20 lbs his blood pressure has risen some
his cholesterol has gone higher
he is probably depressed and refuses treatment for that
he sits around all day and rarely gets out of the house now
have convinced him to get out and walk every day
office called him to remind him to go walk
his wife told us he is listening to us
hopefully he will continue the walking
he was getting the dwindles-that downward path that older
people take sometimes
CATERPILLARS
am getting caterpillars in my garden eating holes in the
leaves of the green leafy plants-lettuce, cabbage, broccoli,
swiss chard, mustards, etc
if left alone they can destroy the plants
the safe organic effective treatment is to use bt(baccillus
thuringiensis) as a spray or a powder on the leaves
it will kill the caterpillars and not affect other insects
it is safe to use on plants for human consumption
MIAMI HEAT
miami heat lost again to the boston cleltics
is that experiment with the three stars going to work
maybe
record is 5-4
time will tell
must have a team to win championships
