Drugs .... Give Me Drugs! (Rx or OTC)
I wanted to set up topic areas for people in the SLEEP Forum at Lumigrate.com which are similar to what has worked with Fibromyalia Forum: Provide the base structure and then let others start topics too. My intention with Lumigrate is to provide a progressive, valid, streamlined, fun health and well-being website experience (and related facebook and Twitter) that maintains what Aretha Franklin would say 'R-E-S-P-E-C-T'. Please keep these things in mind and diplomatically guide others who might be used to other places' way of doing things. If you think if the Internet as a playgound and Lumigrate as the sandbox, no throwing of sand, speak respectfully, and mostly invite others to join and make newcomers welcome. Naming of particular products is fine/ encouraged AND what I strongly suggest is that you also say how the product is obtained; is it retail, multi-level marketing, available online. IF you are a person / company benefitting from the sale it is really necessary that you do this, please (and thank you).
In this topic, I invite people who wonder about and know about medications to write so that others can read and learn -- professionals and non (as we all are able to learn and become experts in something at least, aren't we?). I think I can speak for the Grate Group and say we all are looking forward to having a place for everyone to learn! Thank you for reading, writing, and doing something to help others know. "Print" this page -- it will look AWESOME -- give it to people or put it places where it might help others learn about coming here.
It might be helpful if people include the approximate cost if they know, what their experience has been with insurance reimbursement, effects, side effects. I do not lie, there is someone who has said they take a particular type of Rx sleep medication and her family has to 'bar the door' as she wants to go to a particular 'big box store' shopping. Keep in mind, you can have two accounts on here (or more) and can go by your real name or an alias ... in case anyone wants to tell stories that they don't want anyone reading to know their identity. And then, ... that brings me to the HUMOR thing.... maybe we'll have like an 'outtakes reel' but it will be 'the funniest stories told on Lumigrate.com'. Maybe to start on April 1, April Fool's Day!?
Editing this blurb / tip in about how-to be learning at Lumigrate's forums, or as a reminder on September 9, 2017. (719 reads of this topic at this time.) Several topics in this forum have had 1,000 views or more, and I hope people are knowing how to navigate the website to find more in the 'area' of information you seek.
You can see the 'map' of the website .. Home on the left, then the Forums tab, then container/section. If you just click on the one at the end (right) you'll then see other topics in the forum. If you click the one before that you'll see what forums are in the section, and if you click Forum you'll get the whole forum area. Click home and you get the landing page/home page. I think people know that, they often don't think to click on the link to look into the forum at what other topics there are. Particlarly when their brains are not working well, which --- is why you're here! So I hope that tip helps.
To make it easier if you'd prefer, here's a link to the forum showing all the topics that are in this sleep / insomnia forum. www.lumigrate.com/forums/health-issuesdis-eases/sleep-and-insomnia
You will see a sleep survey provided by Dr. Jim Kennedy, DDS of the holistic kind. I suggest you read and consider taking it and then taking action from there. Take Care! ~ Mardy
Live and Learn. Learn and Live Better! is my motto. I'm Mardy Ross, and I founded Lumigrate in 2008 after a career as an occupational therapist with a background in health education and environmental research program administration. Today I function as the desk clerk for short questions people have, as well as 'concierge' services offered for those who want a thorough exploration of their health history and direction to resources likely to progress their health according to their goals. Contact Us comes to me, so please do if you have questions or comments. Lumigrate is "Lighting the Path to Health and Well-Being" for increasing numbers of people. Follow us on social networking sites such as: Twitter: http://twitter.com/lumigrate and Facebook. (There is my personal page and several Lumigrate pages. For those interested in "groovy" local education and networking for those uniquely talented LumiGRATE experts located in my own back yard, "LumiGRATE Groove of the Grand Valley" is a Facebook page to join. (Many who have joined are beyond our area but like to see the Groovy information! We not only have FUN, we are learning about other providers we can be referring patients to and 'wearing a groove' to each other's doors -- or websites/home offices!) By covering some of the things we do, including case examples, it reinforces the concepts at Lumigrate.com as well as making YOU feel that you're part of a community. Which you ARE at Lumigrate!
