In the news

Since I'm taking a break, I thought I'd have a look at the latest health news.

Here are a few that caught my eye. Hope you enjoy.

What not to say (from www.cnn.com)
Um, yes, some things really ARE important enough to not be busy for, Mr. Professional Basketball Player. Cancer doesn't give a rat's (fill in your favorite anatomical part) who you are.

A hypoglycemia dilemma (from www.nytimes.com)
This interested me, because I often feel hypoglycemic. Think you can figure out this dilemma? Check it out.

A different type of dilemma if you have back pain (from webmd.com)
Steroid injections may help some folks with back pain...or not. Read more here to learn more about a recent study.

Just another reason (also webmd.com)
Please be careful with supplements! Bee pollen for weight loss could cause other potentially life-threatening conditions, even if it sounds like a good solution for you.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Happy weekend all!

Relief

So glad this semester of grad school is over. It wasn't horrible, but I need the break.

And yes, I rocked it with a grade of A to add to the arsenal. She allowed us to be unconventional (no APA format needed in our final project.) and I made it work. An artsy theory professor wasn't a bad thing after all.

This was just what I needed after another week of back pain. Hopefully, it'll go away soon. Stay tuned!
