Stiffness of the big toe joint is termed Hallux Limitus. Hallux is the medical term for the big toe. When the big toe possesses no motion, it is termed Hallux Rigidus. To confuse the topic, the big toe joint may appear to have normal motion, but this motion can be limited when weight is on the foot and during the normal standing and walking. This is termed functional Hallux limitus, because it occurs during the normal functioning of the foot...more
You don't even like to think about the future anymore. For one thing, you find it far less than comforting and as far as your life is concerned, the only thing that matters is right NOW. And yet, you find it impossible to enjoy the present, and you know this is the only place you can succeed at eliminating anxiety and panic attacks. After all, that is all anyone has to work with, but for you, in particular, the present moment has become an amplified experience of the future. In fact, as much as you dislike thinking about the future, thoughts and fears of the unexpected -which only exists on a future timeline-are constantly looping through your mind.As much as you might think that the thoughts themselves are responsible for your anxiety or panic attacks, it has far more to do with what you are doing with those thoughts. Specifically, what you say to yourself about your fearful thoughts.Your internal dialogue makes up the inner conversation, or self-talk you engage in all day long. When a thought pops into mind, it's like you are narrating or commenting on the inner documentary of your subjective experience. When you comment in a supportive manner, things are okay-even wonderful....more

I don't know about you, but this question has been on my mind for quite some time now. Although my youngest is over a year, he is definitely not up to date with his immunizations! With all the rumors flying around about autism and the danger of immunizations, it's hard to know what to choose. Do I wait or should I go ahead? Hopefully what I have learned on my journey will help you make your own decision.When I first started to question immunizations, I approached my pediatrician as well as my general doctor. I also turned to a family member who is a Physician's Assistant. Their answers were all the same; "If your child was ever to contract this disease, you would hate yourself for not doing your part to prevent it. These diseases are serious. They can and do kill." While I appreciated their honesty, I had to ask myself "Well, what if my child gets autism? Will I hate myself just as much for not trying to prevent that?"I've discovered there are no definite answers and believe me, I've searched both sides thoroughly. The thing I've decided to do with my little one is take it slow. I believe that most vaccinations are a good thing. I don't believe that they should be given to our...more
