Neck Exercises

This is me showing a few simple exercises to do a few times a day to stay flexible and relieve tension. 

How this $2.6 BILLION medication invented a disease

When Prozac was first out, one of the side effects was possible weight loss. I decided I needed to have it and went to the doctor and said I needed something for depression. (I found out about the side effect from a friend who did the same thing, and so did many other women I knew). So.... now I had depression in my medical history, which I did not understand at the time. Then, when I started taking it, I could not have orgasms, which was depressing, lol. (I was not depressed prior to taking it, and had no problems achieving orgasms). So I told the doctor, who told me it would go away..... Also, the dreams I had were crazy out of this world, and other sensations were not right. I became afraid to stop taking it, thinking what if I got worse, but finally just stopped, which is not recommended. I did not like this medication. I am also a nurse, and there are so many people who are elderly that are given this or other antidepressants in nursing homes, when I believe they are going through a natural process of losing some of their independence, not necessarily a mental illness. Also, I have kept my weight off with simple exercise and eating mostly healthy foods, but sometimes not. The weight fear was underneath a fear that I needed to deal with, not by taking a pill to lose weight. I don't know if people are willing to tell these things to people when there is such a huge misunderstanding, and profit involved. What is the answer? Have the government run pharmaceutical industry and make it all non-profit? The costs would definitely go down.

19 year old Sabrina is homeless

Wow.... she is still young, which is a good thing.... life is interesting, I believe angels came along and guided me very often.... I hitchhiked out to California from Wisconsin when I was 17.... geeze, so naive.... thinking I knew everything..... Now I am 68, just retired, have my house paid for and enjoying spring. No one ever knows how things look.... if someone would have talked to me back then.... 51 years ago.... I would have seemed a lot like this girl in so many ways..... just wrong directions and thinking .... no one is perfect, and if a lot of people talk to different people that are not living on the streets, they might think the same things they think of these people that are homeless.... just because people have shelter, does not mean they know what is going on, or have their emotions under control... or are better in any ways. But.... for that reason, I believe everyone needs a safe shelter to go to and food, also availability of toilet and cleaning areas, things like sanitary napkins and tampons for women, things for babies, condoms and birth control..... Love to all!
