Especially in the early stages, a person living with #Alzheimers disease or another form of #dementia may not need your #caregiving , but they will need your support. Rather than treating them as dependent, empower them to get the most from their own abilities.

Interesting to see Lauren Kelly, PhD research on medication use in breastfeeding. Of note is the most common medications are for breastfeeding (doperidone) + several chronic conditions like asthma (salbutamol) & thyroid disease (thyroxine).
Where is the evidence around these meds?

#NationalDiversityMonth is a time to celebrate the unique differences that make our country a more vibrant & inclusive place
As we celebrate diversity it is important to recognize the contributions of marginalized communities, including those with disabilities like #Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia occurs in up to 60% of patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) & up to 70% of patients with a diagnosis of fibromyalgia have symptoms of IBS
They can flare individually or at the same time, either way they are both #painful & #disabling
