Dermatoporosis: Aging, Fragile Skin

Joette Calabrese

“Toughen up! You’re too thin-skinned!”

Have you ever heard that before? Well, maybe we can try to thicken our “psychological” skin with a bit of introspection. But what do we do when our physical skin has become too thin? (more…)


Flynn and the Not-So-Fun Fireworks

 

Joette Calabrese

 

Recently, one of my sons shared a story about his girlfriend’s dog, Flynn. Now, if you look at his picture above, little Flynn may not look as intimidating as he thinks he is. But he tirelessly stands guard against squirrels and other equally fearsome creatures. (more…)


Swimmer’s Itch

Joette Calabrese

 

It’s summer! It’s hot! It’s REALLY hot!

I raised three boys. I know that when the weather gets hot, kids gravitate to the water — any water. It doesn’t matter if it’s an overcrowded swimming pool, a seaweed-laden ocean or a murky river. Heck, even mud puddles look attractive to kids when the temperature is roasting.

But while bodies of water may look alluring, they can contain microscopic parasites (carried in by certain land animals, snails and birds) that can cause an itchy allergic reaction in sensitive swimmers.

Facial Neuralgia: A Torturous Pain

 

Joette Calabrese

Oh.

My.

Gosh.

The pain from facial or trigeminal neuralgia can be horrendous. It certainly must be a curse on humanity! It can be so bad, in fact, that many sufferers resort to daily ingestion of synthetic drugs, even for years. And you know how I feel about those. (more…)


Must-Have Memorial Day Medicines for Hay Fever, Overindulgence and Anxiety

Joette Calabrese

 

Happy Memorial Day weekend!

Some consider it the unofficial beginning of summer. No doubt, there will be plenty of picnics, baseball games, parades, beach days and other sorts of commemoration. So, this weekend may be synonymous with allergies from the outdoors or perhaps overindulgence from having too much fun. (more…)
