Avatar n tn I was just wondering if you have any info regarding being on it and nursing a 3 year old. I have been nursing non-stop for 7 1/2 years. I nurse even while in labor.

Avatar f tn As the presidential campaign unfolds, the differences in approaches to Medicare by President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney have taken center stage.

He would convert the health care program for the poor, disabled and elderly into a block grant to the states and sharply reduce funding over time.

Avatar n tn My father ( 80yrs with Alzheimer's/mild Parkinson's symptoms) has been a relatively "low" does of the risperdal for some time now. The nursing staff claim that it keeps him from being agitated. It however, leaves him in a catatonic state. He cannot speak and he sits and nods off with his pupils like pinholes. They claim this is for his "safety" and that of the nursing staff.
Avatar n tn Hello, My father who is 80 years of age suffers from Alzheimer's and has been in a nursing home for 5 years. He has been on a "low" does of Risperdal for the same period of time. His caregivers claim that it is for his own safety and theirs as he becomes agitated periodically. They have not described to me in any detail how this agitation manifests itself.
Avatar f tn A question to ask is, how mentally alert is your Dad? Does he have any cognitive impairment, such as Alzheimer's? Is he in a nursing home or living on his own or with family? The answer depends partly on that, because psychiatrists and doctors treating the elderly in a confinement setting will often just try out passels of drugs on people just to get them to be quiet and cooperative.

I also think you need to be your best health self and since there are some known issues that can arise, I wouldn't do it while nursing. I personally wouldn't do it at all. :>) I know it is less than some cosmetic surgeries but I don't think it is worth the risks.
Avatar m tn I have spoken to my mother on occasion about her health and safety, I have suggested a nursing home, but to my mother that would mean she would no longer have the financial ability to feed her cigarette smoking addiction. My mother’s statement is always the same; I am not ready for a nursing home. The truth is she was ready after her second fall, but her addiction is the only thing that persuades her in her decision making.

Avatar f tn m also concern about levels in breast milk but my doc says that baraclude is safe while nursing. Please advise your thoughts.
Avatar f tn Hospitals are of course needed but what's of concern to me is that they are closing many due to budget constraints so the quality of care will diminish due to this factor alone. As for many people who are elderly or people with disabilities they could live in the community and not have to live in a nursing home. At least that specific proposal became part of the health care reform law and that one regulation (taken alone) actually saves money and keeps people safe.
