Lets pray

Good morning Today I pray Not for myself, but for those who need prayers It's an amazing power. The power of prayer. The thought of protection for others, the comfort in my heart. I pray for those who are grieving, who are lost, who are overcoming the worst situations. I pray for those who are sick, in pain and need healing I pray for those who society ignores. Those addicted, and doomed to a life of misery. I pray for the collective healing of Earth. The opening of kindness. The bounds of understanding. I pray for those trying their best, for those struggling to keep it all together. I pray for the homeless, the human suffering, those who have lost faith. I pray for infinite grace, for healing and renewal. In this I pray, with a full heart of love today. Amen. #prayer #kindness #blessed #love #pray #prayers #lovetopray #Blessings #beautiful #praying #thankful #grateful #blessedbylove #letspray #praywithoutceasing #BlessedAndGrateful #ThankfulForToday #PrayForBlessings #EverydayBlessings #TodaysBlessings #GratitudePrayer #GoodDayBlessings #BeThankful #prayer #kindness #blessed #love #pray #prayers #lovetopray #Blessings #beautiful #praying #thankful #grateful #blessedbylove #letspray #praywithoutceasing

Germany’s Antibiotic Shortage Drama

Germany’s running low on key antibiotics, and it’s not just a minor hiccup. The government just flagged a shortage of benzathine benzylpenicillin (the go-to for some serious infections), and other antibiotics like cefuroxime and erythromycin are also in short supply. They’re even allowing imports with non-German labels to keep things moving. This kind of shortage is rare, but it’s happening now—so if you need these meds, things might get tricky soon! #Health #BodyHealth #Germany

You deserve mornings without dread, nights without replaying conversations, and a heart that isn’t carrying yesterday’s weight.

7 Medical Services That Lost Full Coverage This Quarter By Teri Monroe, 16 hrs ago Saving Saving Advice Follow https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=00YLMq_18LxBVHB00 Image Source: Shutterstock The definition of “medically necessary” is shrinking rapidly. Insurance companies are quietly rewriting their coverage policies to save money. Services that were fully covered last year now come with a price tag. This shift often happens mid-contract without a clear warning to patients. You arrive for a routine appointment expecting a zero-dollar copay. You leave with a bill for hundreds of dollars. This quarter has seen a spike in denials for routine diagnostics and comfort measures. Insurers are classifying formerly standard procedures as “lifestyle” choices or “investigational.” They shift the financial burden entirely to the patient. If you have an appointment scheduled for any of the following, check your coverage immediately. You may need to sign a waiver agreeing to pay cash. Routine Vitamin D Testing Doctors often add this test to your annual blood work. Insurers have decided it is largely unnecessary for the general population. Many plans now classify routine Vitamin D screening as investigational without a specific diagnosis. You need a documented history of osteoporosis or kidney disease to qualify. If you just want to check your levels, you will pay the full lab fee. This can range from $50 to $200 per test. Deep Sedation for Colonoscopies Colorectal cancer screenings are free under federal law. The anesthesia used during them is not always covered. Many insurers now refuse to pay for Propofol, known as deep sedation, for average-risk patients. They argue that cheaper “conscious sedation” is sufficient. If you want to be completely asleep, you may have to pay the anesthesia surcharge yourself. This out-of-pocket cost can exceed $500.

Why Do so Many Americans Oppose Universal Healthcare?

I'm genuinely curious—why do so many Americans oppose universal healthcare? I'm at a point where I'm starting to think about retirement in 10 or so years, and honestly, healthcare is probably what will keep me working until 65. The idea that a medical issue could wipe out everything I've worked for is deeply unsettling. And I’ve felt this way since my 20s. I’d gladly pay my share, even if I don’t need it in the near-term. Politics aside—because I'm so exhausted by the political noise from both sides—I'm trying to understand why we, as a country, wouldn’t want something like this for ourselves. Universal healthcare seems like it would be one of the most important things we could do to protect our well-being and financial security. This isn’t meant to be a political post. I'm just honestly trying to understand the other side of the conversation. #Politics #Safety #Medicare #Health

❤️🔬 Researchers have developed an ultra-small pacemaker, no larger than a grain of rice, that temporarily supports the heart and then safely dissolves inside the body. Unlike traditional pacemakers, it doesn’t require surgery for removal. Designed for patients recovering from heart attacks or surgery, the device helps regulate heart rhythm until the heart stabilizes, then gradually breaks down, leaving no permanent hardware behind. This innovation is a major step in minimally invasive medicine, reducing infection risk, shortening recovery time, and cutting healthcare costs—while still providing precise, life-saving support. It represents a future where medical devices work with the body and step aside once healing is complete.

My journey through hell I am 60 years old, tired, wore out, down, out depressed, PTSD, bipolar man

What’s really left to do. I’ve worked my whole life, all my kids are gone, three grandchildren and too little time. Being on a fixed income in this economy is more than a struggle, it’s a death sentence for the older generation. I am a loner by choice, single, married 3 times and done with relationships. My life consists on getting up at 4am every morning no matter what time I fall asleep, if I do, and then sit around all day with nothing to do. The economy has sucked the life out of me. I had to resort to moving out of my 2 bedroom apartment, into a 300 square foot studio apartment. This was not how I saw my life going. I’ve got maybe 14-15 good years left. Since 2005, I’ve had 10 surgeries, numerous shots, daily meds. Not sure why I’m even writing this all down. No hobbies, hate television, music occasionally and some reading. What a life. Thanks for listening #TheStruggleIsReal

Retirement’s Sneaky 6-Figure Expense

Everyone talks about saving for travel and hobbies in retirement, but the real wallet-buster? Healthcare. The average 65-year-old needs about $172,500 just for medical bills—not even counting long-term care! The trick is to start planning early: add healthcare to your retirement budget, max out your HSA, and get smart about Medicare. Review your plan every year and use all those extra benefits. Trust me, your future self will thank you! #Health #BodyHealth #RetirementPlanning

Schizophrenia is a fate from hell. Th y hate the meds prescribed because it makes the feel like zombies. Noncompliance often incites them to self medicate. It also leads to living in a hell of angry voices commanding then to do heinous things. They don’t report 80-90% of the insanity going on inside a mind because someone in the back of their head “knows “ it’s totally crazy. Like living on bad LSD every day of their lives. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. I’m an RN, and the best place at this point if they committed crimes during their mental illness, is a Forensic Psychiatric Center, where most of the patients will never be released. The other horrific side to this, is that if they do begin to recover, then they will remember all the atrocious acts of their illness. But at least the Forensic Hospital protects the community, provides a daily structured routine of group therapy, classes explaining their particular illness,coping skills, occupational & art. Dear God, A Cure.!

Hospitals Are Now Your Medicare Insurer?!

Tired of insurance drama? Some hospitals are taking matters into their own hands by launching their own Medicare Advantage plans. Patients say they’re getting better perks, more personal care, and don’t have to worry about their favorite doctors suddenly being out-of-network. Enrollment is booming, especially in areas where big insurers keep bailing. But heads up: these plans still come with some of the same fine print as regular insurance. Would you trust your hospital to handle your health coverage? #Health #BodyHealth #MedicareAdvantage
