It is another wet chilly day in our corner of Saskatchewan.
I have not been doing much of anything outside my normal routine today, but I did walk to our local strip mall to drop off a form at the medical office I visited last week.
Fortunately the tendon pain, which was obviously caused by the antibiotic I was taking, seems to be easing off quite nicely. That is definitely a relief.
Which leads me to a couple of health related questions that I have been pondering over the past few months.
Number 1: Why is there such an epidemic of ‘chronic illnesses’ these days? I know there has always been the likes of diabetes and asthma, but bronchiectasis? Where did that come from? And why does that make one vulnerable to infections like pseudomonas aeruginosa which can also become a chronic health issue? 🤦♀️
Number 2: Why do medications for ‘chronic illnesses’ come with side effects that inhibit mobility? That just seems counterproductive to me.
From my experience, keeping active is the best option for maintaining one’s health especially if one has chronic health issues.
If it was up to me, the scientists who develop such medications would be sent back to the drawing board to get the kinks out of their product.
Better yet, let’s start developing medications, procedures, and therapies that will lead to an epidemic of chronic wellness!
That’s it for today! Take care and have a great day!
