My elder sister called and asked if I had received the baby shower invitations she sent me two days ago. Yes, they arrived today.
Unbelievable, 3 baby shower invitations from my old classmates! Come on, we have lost contact with them for soooooo many years.
It’s for sure that I won’t attend any of them. But I will send them gifts or money gifts.
I think I had better let my sisters and other family members know that I don’t want to keep in touch with old classmates or colleagues that I don’t click well with.
Give Up! You Find The Diet Pill That Works On Your Own! April 3, 2009
Posted by Health Mama in : Women Issues , comments closed
Not fair! I am using my own precious time to find a brand of diet pill that works for my buddy.
I don’t mind doing the search for her but she is too picky that I feel like I am wasting my time.
I still have tons of niche articles to write and article submission to do today.
You will be as mad as I am if after comparing tons of prices, ratings, ingredients and manufacturers, your friend is still not satisfied.
She still thinks there are even better weight loss pills out there and you, as her best friend, should go on the search. Argh, …
Give up!
Symptoms Of Thyroid Dysfunction January 7, 2009
Posted by Health Mama in : Women Issues , comments closedIt’s obvious that my aunt has suffered from thyroid dysfunction. She doesn’t need a specialist to tell her because of her obvious symptoms of thyroid problem like protruding eyes and swollen neck.
Besides the prominent eyes and swelling neck, my aunt always complains about fatigue, cold hands and feet, weight gain, insomnia, constipation, forgetfulness and heavy menstrual periods.
Family members have been urging her to get a thorough checkup at a nearby hospital.
A Work-At-Home Woman’s Health Concern December 14, 2008
Posted by Health Mama in : Women Issues , comments closedNo kidding. As a woman who is in my late thirties, I really must take care of my health.
My right stomach was a bit painful the whole night. I mean very mild one. I wonder if it has got to do with my right ovary.
The pain has gone and I am fine now. Let me observe if the pain is back tonight.
Miss The Chance To Discuss Women Health Issues With Sisters & Aunts December 5, 2008
Posted by Health Mama in : Women Issues , comments closedIt’s confirmed that my family won’t be visiting me this school holidays. Some of them are going on vacations while others have to take turns taking care of my grandma.
Actually, I heaved a relief that they are not coming this December. I am really tight on budget this holiday season. There are simply too many expenses that need to be paid by the end of December.
Though I miss the chance to discuss some women health issues with my sisters and aunts, it’s fine. There are always chances in future.
Women’s Domain In Health Issues November 17, 2007
Posted by Health Mama in : Women Issues , comments closedWomen are much more likely than men to search the Internet for information on health, according to research conducted by two professors from Bryant University in Smithfield, Rhode Island, the United States.
The finding is consistent with gender differences in healthcare utilisation; for instance, women are more apt than men to go to the doctor when sick, the researchers say.
Women are much more proactive in terms of their healthcare and are also more likely to be caretakers to children, husbands, and parents.
When it comes to healthcare and information on health, women’s online behaviour conforms to their off-line behaviour. Women are more likely to ask for help than men.
For their research, Morahan-Martin, professor of psychology and chair of the department of applied psychology, and Phyllis Schumacher, a mathematician, analysed the results of four surveys conducted between 2000 and 2004.
A total of 1,461 women and 1,317 men who had ever accessed online health information were surveyed over the four years.
In all four years, women were more likely than men to be online health seekers, although the differences lessened over time.
The results were presented at the American Psychological Association annual meeting in San Francisco recently.
Specifically, in the 2001 survey, 72% of women and 51% of men were online health seekers, while in 2004, the figures were 82% percent and 75%, respectively.
In addition to being more likely than men to seek online support for medical problems, women were also more likely to use the Internet to obtain healthcare information for others. Overall, they visited more health sites than men, the data show.
Men, however, were more likely than women to go online for sensitive health information that may be hard to bring up with their doctor or partner.
Prior studies have shown that men are more apt than women to go online for several specific activities – namely, information on products and services, the weather, news, do-it-yourself, sports scores, financial information, and work-related research.
Healthcare is one of the few Internet uses in which women predominate – the other areas were women outnumber men on the Internet are spiritual information and driving directions.
