Do not self medicate

When you have a full use of your body part, you won't have the cause to ever think of your health but when you experience a small discomfort you will realise how important and good it felt when you were in perfect shape.

Our health is of paramount importance to us and it will be a good thing to always visit the doctor once in a while or at any sign of discomfort.

Yesterday I had to stay with my cousin who was hospitalised and had to do an emergency surgery. We have been living together for some time and all we thought she had was a severe case of Ulcer. She told us she has visited her doctor and has been prescribed with some medication. Still, she never got better, she was always crying of back, stomach and chest pain. Her pain got so serious that she was self medicating and still claiming to have gotten the drugs from her doctor. She was popping her anatacids like it was tomtom, we never knew it was more than that.

Until she collapsed at work and had to be rushed to the hospital, then and there we found out that fibroid has erupted in her stomach and she needs to be operated on. Thank God for a successful surgery, she was saved even though we lost her for a bit, she is now on her way to recovery and taking it one step at a time.

Never attempt to self medicate and no matter how little your illness may be, kindly visit a doctor to be sure of what you are treating. Especially in my part of the world where you do not need a prescription from your doctor before drugs can be sold to you, we all have to be careful and watchful of the people around us so we dont end uo like my cousin.

Health is wealth and very paramount in the lives of man.
