Living with Rheumatoid Arthritis

September 23rd, 2007

If you’re reading this, chances are you or a loved one suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disorder that not only attacks the joints like other forms of arthritis, but organs like the heart and lungs as well.

Rheumatoid arthritis, unlike many other kinds of arthritis, also usually affects both the right and left side of the body symmetrically. For instance, both your hands will be inflamed, rather than just one, making any task all the more difficult as you do not have one part of the body to lead over the other. This adds to the frustration of the disease, further hindering mobility. For those living with rheumatoid arthritis, whether they are in chronic pain or suffer from flares, there is no aspect of their life that is not affected by the disease.

While there are no cures for rheumatoid arthritis yet, there are measures you can take to make living with the disease easier. Besides the medications that your doctor prescribes, you can take responsibility for alleviating the symptoms and improving your overall quality of life. While some of these may seem like small changes, you won’t believe how much they can help.

The first and most important thing you can do for yourself is get regular exercise. Activities like swimming and other light cardio works the joints and muscles around the joints and also strengthens mobility. Your doctor can recommend the best form of exercise for you, targeting the areas that need help.

While exercise is vital, so is not putting too much physical stress on yourself. Avoid heavy lifting whenever possible; also, learn how to bend properly, such as lifting with your knees rather than your back. If you have arthritis in your hands, get an electric can opener instead of using a manual one.

Because of the pain at night that accompanies rheumatoid arthritis, many of those with the disease have difficulty sleeping. Your doctor can prescribe sleeping pills of varying strengths, if necessary.

Learn when it’s best to use heat or cold to lessen pain. Heat should not be applied directly to inflamed joints; instead, enjoy hot baths or showers for aching muscles and soreness. Use cold directly on the inflamed joint, preferably with an ice pack.

Adding fatty fish or fish oil has been found to lessen the length of morning stiffness and intensity of inflammation pain, according to a 200 study published by Australian scientists in Journal of Rheumatology. Eat fish like albacore tuna, salmon or herring regularly, or try a supplement packed with Omega-3, like Omega Daily.

I believe in Jesus Christ. I believe not because I am a cradle Catholic, but because I went through a conversion process in which I have experienced the Lord at a personal level. I believe because He is real in my life.

I’m the one sheep that He went after, leaving the ninety-nine obedient sheep behind…

If God’s love can find a place in your heart, you’ll be amazed how life can take a new meaning for you. If you’re searching for God, the search will be over soon. He is coming for you now =) God bless!

Conserve & Save Water… Make Some Extra Income… (Mainly For Singaporeans)

July 7th, 2007

A few days ago, I was introduced to a water saving device by my friend, James. The UGS Water Saver Europe is a water saving package which would cost S$185 and is meant for installation onto 3 taps. It will cut down at least 41% of your water bill each and every month after it has been installed onto your taps.

Many Singaporeans who have used it have testified to its effectiveness. Besides, the Singapore PUB recognises it too to be in line with the Friends of Water programme spearheaded by PUB on World Water Day last year. Since then, there have been more than 400 individuals and organisations recognized as Friends of Water. The programme aims to build up a community of water lovers and encourage them to be guardians of this precious resource.

Let’s be keen on conserving and saving water at home and/or in public places in a practical and effective way, please contact Ryman (+65 94522905) to arrange for a time to meet at his office. Remember to let him know that Patrick Chan Chee Meng from HomelySuccess.com with mobile number +65 94504934 is the person who has referred you to become a Friend of Water.

Please Note The Following:

The device can only be installed onto a tap with the standard ¾-inch opening (diameter). The old model taps (½-inch type) would be replaced by the installer with the compatible ones and only the cost of the new taps (about $19 per new tap) would be incurred… No extra service charge would be imposed according to Ryman.

Are We Working Hard Or Smart?

May 23rd, 2007

How hard are you working? Is working hard rewarding?

Many people who have tried their hands on making money online would not like to hear some truths about themselves, but let’s start with cold hard truths that will eventually set many people free…

Many start out trying to make an extra income online in order to be able to eventually spend more quality time with their loved ones… Then, they start to learn about things, do more things, face the computer day and night, and eventually fail in what they set out to achieve and even lose their loved ones to the flat screen…

If this applies to you or someone you know, then I invite you to listen closely…

The amount of effort and time you put into doing something does not necessarily yield the same amount of result that you might be expecting. In fact, if you’re just working hard, and not working smart at all, you’re wasting precious time that you can never recover back, and you’ll be in for major disappointment…

Have a vision, set your goals, devise a plan, implement it, track and tally and analyse your results, and review and revise your plan, and repeat the process until you achieve success… Sounds simple? No, it’ll take focus and discipline, and most importantly the correct mindset and disposition to success.

Let’s look at focus and discipline. If we spend our days and nights just to surf around and waste time, we’re not disciplined and definitely being unproductive and distracted. Just like a student sitting for an examination who’s just staring blankly at a question instead of thinking and penning down thoughts that could help fire up the thought process and lead to the solution, we would be wasting away precious time and getting very little done. It’s only when we decide to focus and discipline ourselves accordingly that we can begin to see results.

Here’s a personal royal tip from yours truly that can help someone who’s caught in the money-making internet trap to change most things around: Set aside a limited number of hours (say 2 to 4 hours a day) just for making money online. Any time outside this time slot is our private time.

How does this tip help? It basically forces the person who commits seriously to using only a limited time to be aware of what’s necessary and what’s not. It keeps the person who commits to using time wisely wise and healthy… Imagine this: no more burning of the midnight oil, no more doing unnecessary things, more relevant focus, more results…

Don’t just imagine, Believe you can do it, and start doing it!

As for deciding what you can do online, you may check out my main website and start building =) I’ve done it, so if you follow what I’ve set out for you, you can do it too =)

Cheers!

Beware of Fraudulent Emails

May 19th, 2007

You may have made some money and they are now in your PayPal or whatever payment processor account, but once you let down your guard and click on some innocent-looking links found on some innocent-looking fraudulent emails, there goes your money…

Take a look at the following email I have just received…

Fake PayPal Email

If I were to click on the link which is obviously not from PayPal when you check the embedded link, there goes my money… right?

Now, there are many fraudulent emails, and notice many of them do not address to anyone in particular or to someone that’s not you. From the above sample of a fraudulent email, there’s no recipient indicated…

Hmmm… Fishy, right? Yet there are people who fell for it.

Well, there are also fraudulent emails that are addressed to you… They may seem to be from eBay, PayPal, Western Union and other familiar looking authorities, but when they ask you to click on a certain link on the email, it’s best not to do so especially when the link indicated on the email and the actual link is different. E.g. the link indicates https://paypal.com/someplace but the actual link when you move your mouse over the link indicates another url like http://suspicious-site.com/somefunnylink in your status bar…

When the email is an email you do not expect, something really uncalled for, telling you things like someone has tried to buzzle you or that it was observed that your payment account has been accessed by another ip address… and trying to convince you to just click on a link within the email, please beware and refrain from clicking! Check out whether the links tally, and when in doubt, delete it.

May you now be empowered not to be conned or scammed and please continue to empower others likewise =)

Cheers!
