What a wonderful blessing it is to be a mother! My children are incredibly thoughtful, and I am so grateful for their efforts to make my day special. They surprised me with the most delicious crepes this morning (truly the best I've ever had, no exaggeration!) and set a beautiful table with my favorite flowers and candles for breakfast. 

To top it off, they took me on a lovely walk along Crystal Cove beach. Spending time together is truly the best gift of all.

On this day, and every day, I miss my own mother dearly and wish I could do something special for her. She was incredibly special to me, and I hold her in my heart forever. ❤️ If you are fortunate enough to still have your mother with you, make sure she feels loved and appreciated!

When you use a lot of ibuprofen, lets say every day for weeks now, THIS IS NOT NORMAL! 
This is not the answer!

Look for why you need so much and do not suffer with it!

IF you did not know, ibuprofen can damage your kidneys, can increase your risk for heart attacks and increase the risk of bleeding!

So RESET, ASK QUESTIONS, FIND A DOCTOR!

Many patients are told that their symptoms are in their HEAD! 

The reality it is, they are in their head, but they are there for a REASON! 

They are there as a reflection of what is happening in the body! 

When you don't feel well, then your brain will process that and will send you a lot of signals!

So, believe in you, believe in what you feel and keep looking for answers, and..... maybe for another doctor!

Do you think is easier to navigate the medical system if you are a doctor? the answer is NO! 
I called today to make an appointment for preventative care and also get a very very simple procedure, remove a device that was in time to be removed......the answer was NO, we cannot do it! 

'you have to choose one problem only when you see the doctor"

Then I asked : "what do you mean?"
They answered "Your referal is just for a consultation, the doctor will just talk to you...."

When I asked "WHY, it takes one minute extra to do both?"

Their answer: "YOUR INSURANCE will not ALLLOW it!"

"You only have a referral for one procedure at a time , or one preventative care at a time...."

Since when insurance will decide on what doctors can do?

Did that happened to you?

I never limit the problems that I can solve for my patients to one problem at a time.....because I dont let insurance companies to dictate what I do for my patients!!!
