Keep Your Mind and Body Healthy With a Free Discount Prescription Card

There are almost 50 million people in America who do not have any form of health insurance. There are also people who have health insurance but their current policy does not cover the cost of prescriptions. One way to help with the cost of drug prescriptions is to get a free discount prescription card.

You may be wondering if you qualify for this program. Luckily, because the system is a benefits program you will qualify for the card regardless of how old you are and whether you are employed or not. You do need to be a citizen of the United States of America to qualify for the card.

If you want to get your hands on one of these discount cards all you will need to do is fill in an online application form. You can then print it and use it in any pharmacy in the United States. You are also able to use the card at an online pharmacy if you wish to do so.

Once you have done this you will need to give the details of your card to the pharmacy. They will take your details and store it in their computer systems. This means that the next time you go to the pharmacy they will already have you card information. The benefit of this is that you will not have to wait a long time for your medication to be prepared.

This benefit program is very much welcomed by the public. This card can give people up to a 20 percent discount on more than 20,000 medicines. As medication is often very expensive this savings could mean that a person could use the extra money on essential everyday costs such as food and rent. They can now do this without putting their health at risk.

no to eczema

Last year, we discovered that my son has an allergic reaction with fishes. He loves eating fish even before, so I find it weird that it is only lately that he developed the allergies. At first we thought it was eczema. His face has swollen red patches, tha I truly feel sad seeing him that way . We went to the hospital's emergency room to treat him right away as I fear that he will have a hard time to breath with the allregies. He was given a few medicines then , but after a while the allergies came back. That was the time that we consulted a pediatric - allergologist. A skin test was performed, and there, he's allergic to fish. I am grateful he doesn't have eczema. He just needs to stay away from eating fish for now. Hopefully he can outgrow this allergy.

Goodbye Acne

A lot of teenagers I know are suffering from acne. I feel sorry for them because this is the stage when they get conscious with their looks, and yet, acne appears at their face. Most of them would try out some commercial brands thinking it will give them a clear skin, but seriously there's a lot of home acne remedies that are really worth trying because it is very effective.Home made remedies are mostly natural products so you are sure that your skin is safe from harmful chemicals. The next time I will have a breakout, I will definitely try one of those remedies here at home. It is safe and econimical as most items can be easily found at home, right at your pantry.

Losing hair ?

Last Sunday, I went online shopping for some vitamins and supplements. Wonder why online? Because I signed up with a website and I am earning pints from buying. I have a $10 in my account there so I used it since i got some vitamins for the kids, lotions, and even vitamins for hair loss for my dad. Well, he is not really losing his hair, this vitamins is just for preventive measures. He noticed some falling hair lately, and asked me to get him the vitamins. This is such big savings for me, maybe that's the reason why I shopped for more. Now I am starting to earn points again for future use.

Diet pills again ?

Most of you may have noticed that I gained weight after the Holidays. Yeah, i gained a few pounds and now, i dont think i am losing any of it because I am still enjoying all the foods here. I wonder if i can eat and just eat then still stay slim , huh?! If things won't change by February, then I will definitely try the diet pills that my friend is currently using now. Well, she said that it is effective in her system, so I hope it would do me good too, and hopefully no side effects at all. Aside from diet pills, maybe i should do some exercise too, what do you think?

Lasik Surgery for my mom

For many years, my mom is using eyeglasses and never tried out the contact lens. She said that she thinks she will not be comfortable wearing contacts so she would just stay with her eyeglasses since she is used to it already. When she was here at our place, she opened the idea of undergoing a Lasik Surgery so we inquired at the hospital. I am not sure if we have the latest technology in Lasik just like what they have in Boston where she first inquired. She did a little research already about Lasik Surgery Boston before she even arrived here.

Anyway, when she inquired, she underwent some consultation and interview process to assess her condition. A rough estimate of the whole procedure was provided and my mom is okay with the price. But she did not jumped into it yet because she wants to know more about the latest in lasik which is the use of two computer-guided lasers . It is said to be a safe procedure in the US so a lot are trying it already. Hopefully this Lasik surgery would be the answer to my mom's eye problem. She would definitely be having a good time without her eyeglasses and she will be seeing things more clearly even if its a bit far from her. If only she did not get nervous with the operation, she would have done it here, but she postponed it and might have it in Boston and she's hoping that the health card can help her with the finances.

E- Cigarettes , anyone?

Smoking is something that is strictly prohibited in our house. We are a family of asthmatics so it is really a No-no at home. There's a lot of anti- smoking campaigns now in the paper and on national TV. I guess the main reason for this is that they wanted to protect the health of everyone. As what they say, those who don't smoke and just inhale some cigarette smokes are also affected. I have seen the bad effects of smoking with my father in law. With his death, I really concluded that smoking is dangerous to one's health.

But lately, I heard about e cigarettes . It is now said to be the smokers smart choice. Imagine, you can now smoke indoors with that tobacco smoke and smell. If you think that it won't satisfy your tobacco cravings then that is wrong. It is battery operated as from what I have seen at the website. They have e cig refills too , because it is refillable - no tar and ashes. These things that you usually find annoying with the usual cigarette, you can't find it here. Since it is battery operated, the site also sells e cigarette chargers . I think you can also charge at the car. More and more people are choosing this over the tobacco one for the reason that is not a fire hazard too.

lil techie


After the typhoon Ondoy, our internet was badly affected. During the first day, it was something I can manage as I was too busy fixing stuff here at the house. The second day, I felt bored already as I miss chatting with friends and with my family. My mom called to check on us . That 2nd night, I decided to stay at Seattle's Best so I can check my emails and do some work. Guess what? After ordering drinks and their omelet, I learned that their internet was down too. I just enjoyed my coffee and let the little boy play.
And me, I end up eating a lot that night! I would really need weight loss pills so I will look good on my daughter's birthday party.

trying to be fit

Being a stay at home mom , i do my best in keeping myself in the best shape. Its not just for the kids , but for myself as well. I am so afraid of getting sick as I know it would be so hard for all of us when that happens. So everyday, I see to it that I have a good diet though I admit I eat junk once in a while. Exercise is one thing I lack , really . How I wish I can run for 3o mins or even just 15 mins a day. Lastly, I take supplements like Vitamin C and Multivitamins. I am s prone in catching colds so Vit C is a must for me. Lately, a freind of mine suggested that I try these Acai Berry Supplements, particularly the Acai Berry Energy Supplements . My friend knows that I have a busy schedule at home with the 2 kids so she wants me to try an energy supplement to keep me going the entire day. I hope it works for me, i badly need it now because my princess is getting all over the place. Anyone who tried this product already?

Remember?

Do you have an unforgettable experience experience at the hospital ? Well, if you will ask me , I have a number but some doesn't really concern me or my family. At most times, I don't easily forget incidents at the Emergency Room. One time , an old man is dying and he was just near the bed of my son. A lot of apparatus were attached to him , and just by seeing electrodes , I feel nervous for him . Personally, I always associate those self adhesive electrodes with heart monitor . I am not sure if it's used into some other procedures too. Doctors and nurses surrounded him giving all their best. Incidents like these are just hard to forget. It makes me value my life more and be thankful for giving us good health. Hopefully , I will not have another ER incident with any of my kids, or with me and my husband.

i need a new one


I've been experiencing headache since last week, and i know the culprit, its my eyes. I have to start using my eyeglasses again. But when I checked on it yesterday , there was a broken screw at the nose area so i need to buy a new one. Luckily I saw Zenni Optical on TV!!! So after that , i hurriedly check online for $ 8 Rx eyeglasses . I am good with that since they have nice styles at $8! Talk about practical shopping , huh?! Here's a High Five to Zenni Optical for all their great eyeglasses at truly affordable prices. Nothing beats Zenni Optical.

i need this

Yes, I need diet pills that work . I want one that can give me visible results in a month. You see, we are heading to the beach next month and im already looking for swimsuits that i can use. Surely , there's a lot that i found at Victoria's Secret, but the problem is, the styles are not for my type of body . As you all know, i still have some post pregnancy weight especially at the tummy part so i need a safe but still sexy outfit LOL. If i cant find a really nice swimsuit, i'll settle with my old black tankini then just get myself a nice cover up .

Equipments needed

Do you know where I can find some medical equipment that's of great quality and price? I am helping out a cousin in law of mine who will soon put up her own dermatology clinic in their area. Since she is just starting out, she would consider getting good brands at a cost that is competitive in the market nowadays. She needs a few medical chairs, medical supplies, equipments and a lot more that slipped my mind this very minute. I tried checking online for some great deals and I am lucky to stumble upon Allegro Medical. I will just send her the webpage so she can take a look at all the products and prices. I think we are even luckier because they currently have a sale.

Burn those fats

Its been four months since I gave birth to my little girl, and I can really say that I really have to start working out to get back to my old shape. You would rarely see me in my old jeans since most of it won't fit me yet. It's just so hard to come up with a good outfit lately because of my figure. My usual weight is from 107 - 110 lbs, but now, honestly , I dont know how much I weigh. I dont wanna know since I might have a feel of depression if I will see those figures in front of my eyes.

Now, even if i dont know my current weight, I cut down my food intake a bit, a bit because I am still breastfeeding, I need all the energy I can get from food, I need it to supply milk for my girl. But once I am done with breastfeeding , I would really like to try out Acai Burn , its one of the leading weight loss supplement in the market today that produce real results in a short time. That's exactly what I need. Now, I have no choice but to do a little exercise too (I am actually so lazy to do it everyday). What about you, are you satisfied with your current weight?

Diabetic Life Insurance

I was actually clueless on what really diabetes is until my mother in law was diagnosed of one. Since then , she has been very careful of what she is and she even made adjustment on her lifestyle just to make sure that she's living a good one so as not to complicate her condition. Her diabetic case is a simple one though as compared to the most cases I've heard. But still she wants to get herself a Diabetic Life Insurance soon. I am only familiar with the usual life insurance , so I made a little research on how she can get this. The quotation that the patient will receive depends on her condition , and the severity of their case. One also needs to classify if it is a super preferred, preferred , standard and substandard one. There is still a lot to know about diabetes and I am thankful that websites like diabeticlive.com helps someone like me who si just new with this disease. As stated at the website, if you are just recently diagnosed of the disease, you may wait form 3 - 6 months before finally getting you own policy to allow any potential policy to be based on a track record of control.

My lack of sleep.

My daughter is turning 7 weeks soon, and she's really growing fast. Some of her newborn clothes wont fit her anymore so I washed the larger ones that we have in her closet. If there's one thing that remains constant with her, that's her sleeping pattern. It's crazy! I personally attend to all of her needs so everytime she's up, I'm up too. Im lucky to sleep in 2 hours straight, and i think it happens every weekend only when my husband is here. The other day, I had a terrible headache that taking a nap won't ease the pain. Since it was too late already, I searched online for any tips that I can use. I found out some relevant cases , and I even read about acute headache . I hope this is not serious though. I checked for some medications too that I can safely use now that I am breastfeeding. I try to take naps frequently during daytime to keep me charged.

gifts shopping and more

Im done with a little shopping for the holidays. Went to the mall with my family and during my first store stop, i was able to get gifts for some relatives already. Then we headed to some stores for my clothes. Since I recently gave birth, I had a hard time looking for the right one. My favorite styles wont fit my hips yet. Got a little depressed when I wasn't able to buy a very classy red dress that I plan to wear on Christmas eve. I think I should start taking diet pills . I tried five tops from one store , but I was able to buy one only. Sadness. It's too impossible to lose weight this soon. Food is everywhere. Wish I can get back to my old shape really soon.

Shower Chairs

Two months ago, my husband and I made a trip to a medical supplies store to get a digital ear thermometer for my son. I made the most out of my time there, I looked around thinking of what else I can buy. So i got myself a first aid kit , breastfeeding pillow , carpal tunnel computer glove and some pediatric supplies. I even saw a shower chair in pink, and I showed this to my husband , since we want to get one for my mother in law who was then recovering from a heart operation. A shower chair will surely give her comfort and ease of movement during her shower. But I decided not to buy then since I wanted to see if its available online. And luckily I saw one on sale , plus the item ships for free. Such a steal!

For your eyes only

Surfing the internet is truly rewarding. Since I am stuck at home, I always check out for some possible christmas gifts for my family. I plan to get my Dad some Great Eyeglasses For Less since he will only use this when watching TV and while reading. He is not specific with any brands too. Luckily, Zenni Optical was on FOX news! I checked out their website and they have a wide selection of affordable eyeglasses. Currently, Variable Dimension Frames From Zenni are available too. Check out Zenni on Fox and see for yourself .

After pregnancy

One of the biggest challenge for me after giving birth , aside from the responsibilities that comes with motherhood, is losing weight. I gained a total of 27 lbs., and I do hope I can shed off a little in the first few months. I know it is a bit nard since I enjoy eating a lot after giving birth, and I need lot of energy too so I can keep up with the demands of my kids. If I would really get That big, I would consider using alli since I heard good feedbacks about it lately.
