Although you don’t take this stuff internally, I have to say that this is perhaps one of the most powerful ‘medicinal’ products out there. I say this because there is no other chest and cough reliever out there that can work as fast as Vicks VapoRub Decongestant can and how! …

When I was working for a weight loss company, my manager had something that was along the lines of hypoglycemia, but it was actually the opposite. Basically, any time she had carbohydrates, she would start to get loopy and her blood sugar would drop, so she’d always have glucose tablets …

I rarely use Robitussin because I am such a fan of Vicks’ NyQuil and all their other products, however, the last time I got sick, my fiance came home with Robitussin Cough & Cold syrup because he thought that the expectorant in the syrup would help me get rid of …

My stressful profession has been blamed by my dermatologist as the cause of my vitiligo. It may be small but I really feel conscious when I face people, and have taken to using concealers to cover them up. I have a three-fold approach to treating my vitiligo: (1) I …

My dermatologist told me that my stressful profession is the culprit for my vitiligo which is unfortunately located near my mouth. I feel very conscious about it although my friends assure me that it is not very noticeable (probably the reason why they are my friends). My dermatologist told …

My profession is very stressful, and unfortunately for me, it shows up in my skin. I either get dandruff or my skin asthma acts up. In my experience, my dandruff is harder to contain than skin asthma because I have not yet found the best way to deal with …

The acne scars on my face were worrying me to hell for quite sometime and marred my beautiful face to great extent. Although I did try using various creams and lotions to get rid of them, nothing really worked successfully. This is when one of my friend suggested that …

Primatene OTC Products
If you have bronchial asthma like I do, then you might want to consider using Primatene over-the-counter products as a convenient alternative. I use the inhaler plus the tablets. You can pick up the inhaler off the shelf but you’ll have to ask the pharmacist for the …

I had been suffering from migraine for several years and have always thrived on medications to relieve me of my pain. I had always hated taking medicines and was on a look out for an alternative healing method to get rid of my migraine. Well Patch migraine – Cooling …

I remember, as a child, the good ol’ days of my mother or father lathering on a ridiculous layer of vicks vapor rub to our chests when we were feeling congested and, generally speaking, just plain icky. The stuff smells obnoxious and very medicinal, but I have to admit …

With a husband and two kids in my household, we’re always in need of some decent cold, allergy and flu medications because if one of us isn’t sick, then the other one is. Sometimes, all of us at once! And there is just nothing more depressing than sick children …

Sometimes I get heartburn but not too bad. Actually the really bad bout of heartburn I had was fifteen years ago when I was pregnant. In my third trimester of pregnancy, I got really bad heartburn, but since then it never really affects me that it’s so severe …

I have a history of motion sickness. Sometimes I take medication for it and sometimes I don’t. It’s the times that I don’t is when I regret it. One particular incident comes to mind. My daughter’s school was having a celebration on a lunch/dinner cruise type …

I have chronic sinus problems plus seasonal allergies, and over the years, have tried many different medications to help me along the way. Earlier this year, while pregnant, I was having major sinus congestion problems. My doctor initially told me to take Sudafed, but it did not …

Around four years ago I was prescribed opioid painkillers as a means to manage pain from an injury to my knee. For years I took Darvocet, Tramadol, Vicodin and Oxycodone on a daily basis so I could get through my ten hour work shifts that required me to be …

I purchased Crest Clean Cinammon ProHealth Flouride Toothpaste for Anticavity Antigingivitis and Sensitive Teeth because I got a free sample of the basic mint flavor in the mail with a coupon. However, I usually avoid mint because it can interfere with some homeopathic remedies. So, I selected the …

Cleartrace Adult ECG Electrode Stickers are used with heart monitors. I became familiar with them when I had to do a heart monitor for an extended period of about three weeks. The original conductive adhesive ECG electrodes that were sent to me caused a horrible skin reaction where I …

This summer we took the family to a local waterpark and we played in the wave pool on see through inner tubes all day long. Although we started off the day with 100 SPF sunscreen and reapplied it at three hour intervals, somehow we all came home with burns. …

My family gets a lot of headaches, and we are prone to migraines. However, the majority of our headaches come from tension, and stress. Sometimes there is just no handling the stress any better than we currently are, so we have to medicate the headache to get through the …

When I was invited to an Arbonne party, I kind of dreaded it. I’d been to one years prior and found their cosmetics to be overpriced and not that awesome as far as how they worked on my skin. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find Arbonne’s Aromassentials line. …

As I get older, I have begun to develop various intolerances and even allergies to things I have never been allergic to before. I even began carrying around antihistamine pills after a couple of scares-one with MSG, and one after a bee sting; in both cases, for the first …

For some reason, the Nasonex which has been working really well to control my eleven year old’s nasal allergy symptoms quit working effectively for him. As a result, his pediatric primary care physician decided to switch him over to Flonase. Our insurance company will not pay for the brand …

Unfortunately, my cholesterol is high. Since I have lupus, Sjogren’s, and was recently diagnosed with diabetes, this doesn’t make my cardiologist happy. I have seen him for years for atrial fibrillation and control of my blood pressure. At my last visit he told me that if I wasn’t able …

I get awful muscle cramping and spasms. Some of it is due to lupus, some to fibromyalgia, some to irritable bowel, but ultimately all too often for comfort of functionality. At night I am often kept up by my muscles twitching unless I take Flexeril to help relieve some …

Our family loves the therapeutic hot and cold pad from Thermionics. The 9.5” x 16” pad is a perfect size if you have a sore back or shoulders. The larger size allows complete coverage of larger muscle areas, like when the boys overwork their shoulders during karate training. Perhaps, …

Since I have bad reactions with many medications, I look to food sources for medicine. When it came to trying to lower my cholesterol so I could stay off a statin, I asked my doctor about Cheerios from General Mills as well as eating oatmeal. My endocrinologist told me …

I have two boys in the fifth grade. It’s embarrassing to say, but sometimes they forget to lift the toilet seat when they urinate, and they spray the seat. Not a cool thing to sit down on when you’re in a hurry. As a result, our family has instituted …

While some might consider Glaceau’s Vitamin Water a food, I consider it a medicine. Anytime you are taking vitamins you are essentially self medicating, and at least this is a tasty way to do it. Eight ounces constitutes a serving of Formula 50 Vitamin Water, and each bottle …

I read some reviews in the reviewstream.com about the use of Combiflam tablets for relief of pain. I thought I should share my experience with this medicine. I used to take this medicine earlier when ever I used to have body pains and it used to give tremendous relief immediately.
But …

I am very much prone to having some allergic reactions but I never expect that I will be able to experience allergic reaction to contact lens solution, of all things!
I bought a new set of soft contact lenses one week ago and I was so eager to try …

As an avid reader and a person who works under fluorescent lights (and not to mention all the time that I spend on the computer), I find that my eyes tend to get tired, dry, and get a burning feeling. Every time that I’m in front of the …

Last year I had a very bad cold which leaded to horrific sinus congestion and ultimately the worst earache that I even had in my life. I don’t even remember, prior to this incident when I even had an earache. They are not something that I get …

I was talking to my best friend the other day and she was telling me that her sister-in-law who is a nurse had seen how she downed Motrin down like candy and was appalled by the fact that she had to eat that many in order to get some relief …

I have really hated this summer. And for the same reasons why I normally hate summertime in Las Vegas which is a desert after all and not all that far from Death Valley which is perhaps the hottest place in the entire Earth. I mean, the heat has always been …

The other day I had a very bad headache at work because I think the prescription on my glasses are starting to expire so I needed to get new glasses but as that won’t happen until November when my insurance kicks in, I tried instead to get find an aspirin …

When you’re raising a family on a budget, like most of us are, we’re always thrilled to find products that multi-task and can be used for more than one purpose. For instance, I’d much rather have one bottle of cleaner that will take care of glass, wood and tile, …

I have this particular friend who, any time you mention a medical problem, somehow magically has this all-natural remedy for it. She’s a big proponent of using natural products to treat manageable conditions, such as headaches and sleeplessness, and she’s got books on natural healing remedies in droves around …

I remember, when I was just a young child, my mother always had a supply of Flinstones vitamins in our cupboard. I thought, as I got older, that she might have even had stock in the company, because even as all her kids grew up, she still kept it …

When I had my annual checkup with my gynecologist early this year, we had a nice long discussion about the extent and intensity of my PMS symptoms, which have been as they are ever since I first started mesntruating. My husband can’t have children, and I’ve had two from …

I’ve long had issues with my teeth. When I was younger, about fourteen years old, I had a rather discouraging experience at the dentists, and walked away with a mouth full of blood because they allowed a dental student to work on my and when she used the scraper …

Though I will give my opinion about how effective Sucrets is as a soar throat treatment I am, ironically enough, also going to discuss how it does as a tooth-pain remedy. I’ve long had problems with my teeth that have roots in a very bad dental experience. I’ve had …

I started taking Metformin six years ago when I discovered I had PCOS, or Polyscystic Ovarian Syndrome. When I initially started taking it I remained sick all of the time. I started taking 1000 mg and I was constantly in the bathroom. I spoke to my doctor about it …

Effexor is an antidepressant usually prescribed to people who have been diagnosed with clinical depression or bipolar disorder. It is classified as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor. This is a hard name to understand, but all the user of this drug really has to understand is that it is …

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve had some serious problems falling and staying asleep. At first, my parents thought I was suffering from insomnia, because every time they turned around I was wide awake, so they ended up taking me to a sleep therapist who discovered that …

I have been using this product for the past 5 years and this product had never let me down! I don’t use it on a daily basis though, but when I have breakouts, this is the only thing I can rely on. I have pretty decent skin. They just …

Retin-A (common name for tretinoin) is a topical form of Vitamin A commonly known to treat wrinkles and acne. You have seen this product on the ads in the past. Though not often showed on TV as often as before, it had earned a good reputation for effectively delivering …

For many years now, I’ve had consistent problems sleeping, both falling and staying asleep. I guess the technical and scientific term for it “delayed sleep disorder”, which is not the same thing as insomnia. Insomnia is when you just can’t sleep at all, sometimes for days at a time, …

Because I have a long history of painful conditions that must be treated with regular pain-maintenance medications, and because I’ve since established a high tolerance towards such medications, it’s always difficult for me to find a pain medication that is long lasting with good effects. Most drugs will be …

Over the past year, I’ve encountered a serious of almost debilitating physical conditions that have been quite difficult at times to live with. Pain has been a constant companion of mine with conditions such as a pinched nerve in my back, tendonitis in my shoulder, sprained ankles that just …

I give this review with a very serious heart, because I have seen the devastating effects of this drug first hand, and it’s not a pretty sight. I took Vicodin for a very short period of time to treat a chronic pain problem that I was expriencing as a …
