If your child has been diagnosed with ADHD or ADD, you may have explored the option of treating him or her with a prescription stimulant drug like Adderall. Stimulants are commonly prescribed by doctors for children with ADHD because they have been found to be predominantly safe and effective in treating the symptoms of the condition. They do, however, carry a risk of side effects which can vary in intensity with each person.

Stimulants increase brain activity, which in turn can increase a child’s ability to pay attention, and Adderall is a popular child ADHD treatment — about 1 million U.S. children currently take it or its time-released sibling, Adderall XR. Many Adderall users report minor side effects such as loss of appetite, weight loss, insomnia, dizziness and headaches. Although less frequently reported, other side effects include irritability, nervousness, feelings of suspicion or paranoia and restlessness.

There are some serious side effects of Adderall that are reported rarely. The most alarming of these are Tourette’s Syndrome, hallucinations, high blood pressure, and rapid heart rate. Any side effects, mild or severe, should be immediately reported to your child’s physician.

I noticed a pea sized nodule on my throat, thyroid. I have had an ultrsound and needle biopsy. The biopsy showed abnormal cells so I am going to have surgery to remove the thyroid. What takes place in this surgery? Don’t know what to expect!! Kinda scared too!

I have been thinking about getting some essential oils for a while. I am hesitant that the benefits are not as tangible as they clam to be. What’s your experience with this form of therapy? Thanks.
I’m not looking for jokes. If you you are ignorant of this subject then don’t answer it.

Crohns disease is an inflammatory disease of the large and small intestines and is often classified under inflammatory bowel disease. Crohns disease is often exacerbated, or made worse, by stressful situations. A typical treatment for Crohns disease is the use of steroids and corticosteroids. A mixture of these medications and alcohol will often place the patient under more stress and at greater risk for infections.

Because of both the alcohol and the use of the steroids the body is unable to fight off infections as well. Sometimes this leads to overwhelming bacterial infections that eventually cause the patient to die.

Some people with inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohns disease find that alcohol, especially beer, can worsen their symptoms. The likely causative factor with crohns and alcohol abuse is the intestinal gasses that the beer causes. But others find that the occasional cocktail or beer doesnt cause an increase in symptoms.
