Lupus Note Cards are in!!! If you ever have
to send Thank-You cards, or just a note to someone you love....I have the
cards for you.
And, You can feel great about sending them because they not only are for
Lupus awareness...but, also ALL proceeds will be donated to the Amster
Lupus
Research Fund at U of M, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. They use monies donated
to
fund research so that we can find a cure for Lupus. It is a great cause. I
will attach a sample picture of just one of the eight different fold over
cards. The cards are a glossy picture of eight different real photo
butterflies. Each card has its own envelope. Each card when folded over
measures 5.5" X 4". The set is a great gift idea too! Each set sells for $10
and as I said before ... all proceeds will go for Lupus Research! To order

Pharmacy Solutions on Jackson Ave. in Ann Arbor provides free consultations and natural-metabolic options or add-ons to your drug regimen. Their knowledge of cutting edge supplements and prescription medications is very unique. Their phone number is 734-821-8000. They do accept many insurance plans for prescriptions and what is not covered is usually tax deductible or some insurance providers will reimburse. Your Dr. will have to write a prescription for the consultation and for all medications and OTC's you decide to take. Personally I have found great help in reducing the amount of meds I take as they also help you with eliminating those things you do not need or tell you if you are doubling up on meds or taking inadequate or excessive amounts of meds or supplements. We all need to take supplements which support our total health and can find a way to mix natural with drug safely and effectively with the help of a clinical pharmacologist. From then on they manage your regimen, allergies etc. It makes it very easy. A clinical pharmacologist is a part of your health care team just like your nephrologist, dietician, P.T. and family Dr.
Yoga class for those who may have special needs or desire a lighter exercise regime. This class is offered to anyone with all tools provided in a comfortable setting at the Chelsea Wellness Center Friday's 10:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. You May leave after 45 minutes if this amount of time is too much. I have taken many yoga and other exercise programs and I can say this one is great for bone, joint or muscular issues and one can modify the workout with help from the instructor, Nancy, who is very knowledgeable about Arthritis and Lupus. Call 734-475-4100 for details. They also have a warm water therapy pool and very nice facilities for all levels of activity and P.T's who may assist if needed.
