H&W|Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen
For 2.5 years I’ve lived with chronic pain while still trying to function through everyday life. Like many people, I relied heavily on over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen and acetaminophen just to maneuver through the day. What I didn’t fully realize was how long-term use can quietly affect the body over time. Recently, my doctor explained…

H&W|Keep Your Medical Information Together
Sometimes our bodies whisper before they scream. A small symptom here. A restless night there. Changes in mood, sleep, appetite, pain, energy, or even the weather affecting your body differently. That’s why keeping a Wellness Journal matters. Not to create fear… but to recognize patterns, stay informed, and help advocate for your own health journey.…

H&W | Weather & Body Pains
Some people think it’s “all in your head” when the weather changes and your body suddenly starts aching. But many of us know differently. The wind shifts. The rain moves in. The pressure changes. And suddenly the hips, joints, back, nerves, and muscles start talking loud. Today Seattle was one of those days for me.…

H&W|Navigating The Speciality Health Care System
Have you ever found yourself frustrated trying to get through to a doctor’s office or specialty clinic? As someone who works in healthcare here in Seattle and is also a patient myself, I see both sides of the experience every single day. Pain. Fear. Long waits. Phone calls. Referrals. Insurance.

H&W|When You’re in Pain
Waiting for a doctor to call back when you’re in pain can feel like the longest hours of the day—especially for elderly patients. The truth is, not every doctor can prescribe certain pain medications, and surgeons often have limits before surgery. So what can you do while you wait? Today’s Health & Wellness shares gentle,…

💛 Learning to Heal Beyond the Procedure Today reminded me how personal healing really is. I spoke with one of Dr. D’s patients — she had received an injection about a month ago and was doing great until yesterday, when she tried to lift a two-pound weight and felt that sharp, familiar nerve pain return.

🌻 When Compassion Collides with Policy It’s hard enough for a patient to call a specialty clinic. They sit on hold longer than they should. When they finally reach a person, it’s often not the one who can help them. And by the time they get to someone who can, they’re told: “Your insurance no longer…

💛 The Distance Between Health and Home It’s one thing to talk about access to care — it’s another to witness what that really means.
