Over the past two years, I’ve begun to experience headaches regularly. These can be mild irritants to all out make-me-curl-up-in-a-ball-and-cry type of headaches which are totally debilitating and keep me from functioning on any real level. Thankfully, these happen rarely, and usually it’s just a garden-variety headache. I’ve been …

As I explain that I am 61 yrs of age, it is because they don’t make band-aids the way they did when I was a child, always needing one! The new Band-Aid Flexible Fabric Adhesive Bandage would have been a very welcome thing, in my youth!
Unlike the days of …

I had a lot of success in the past trying another Dristan product that was a nasal decongestant in tablet form. My son was down with allergies and these tablets really seemed to work for him. I, on the other hand, tend to have no reaction to most over-the-counter …

I have always believed there is absolutely no difference between big named brands and generic brands other than the price. That’s why, when we last went shopping for pain relieving medicine, we bought the cheaper Equate version instead of Tylenol.
Well, I can now tell you that was a big mistake.
I …
