✨✨ Small Business Tuesday ✨✨

Hope everyone had a great spring break. Welcome back! As I continue to educate, my next post focuses on hypothyroidism.

Hypothyroidism is a disease of thyroid hormone deficiency.

The most common cause of hypothyroidism worldwide is insufficient intake of iodine, a mineral found in iodized salt and some foods (such as seafood and dairy) that is needed for production of thyroid hormones. In the US and other high-income countries, the most common cause of hypothyroidism is an autoimmune condition called Hashimoto thyroiditis.

Untreated hypothyroidism may cause fatigue, weight gain, difficulty concentrating, memory loss, constipation, dry skin, menstrual irregularities, and cold intolerance. Hypothyroidism may also lead to high blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes and may increase the risk of heart failure, infertility, and miscarriage.

Hope everyone has had a great start to the week. Wanted to share some info about all of you that have restless legs syndrome. Call me if you want to find out more!

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder that causes an irresistible urge to move the legs, often with aching or tingling at night. Symptoms worsen during rest and improve with movement, disrupting sleep and quality of life.

About 8% of U.S. adults experience RLS symptoms each year, and it’s twice as common in women. Risk factors include iron deficiency, kidney disease, Parkinson disease, pregnancy, and family history.

Diagnosis is based on symptoms. Checking and treating iron deficiency—and reviewing medications that may worsen RLS—are key steps in management.

Many patients with osteoporosis have no symptoms.

👩‍⚕️ Screening and prevention are key!

Today's topic of the day....Allergies!

This January has been tough on all of us with allergies. Most of us suffer from either seasonal or perennial allergic rhinitis.

You can manage allergic rhinitis by minimizing allergen exposure (close windows, use AC, dust-mite covers, keep pets out of bedrooms, use HEPA filters, and control pests).

First-line treatment for mild symptoms includes OTC oral antihistamines, intranasal antihistamines, or intranasal corticosteroids.

Moderate to severe persistent symptoms may require combined intranasal antihistamines and corticosteroids, with or without an oral antihistamine or even immunotherapy with shots or drops.
