According
to a recent study published in the "American Journal
of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine," researchers
have found that frequent acetaminophen users were more likely
to have lung disease than those who seldom or never used the
drug. In contrast, neither ibuprofen (Motrin, Nuprin) nor
aspirin use was associated with lung problems in this study. |

"A place for everything, and everything in its place."
That may be a fine idea if you're eyeing the clutter on the
living room floor, or a pile or two of old magazines and catalogues
collecting dust in a corner. But what has it got to do with
chronic illness? A lot.
Chronic
illness is never a welcomed guest in anyone's life. However,
when it becomes a visitor in yours, in many cases, it's there
to stay. How you cope with your illness will determine, in
great part, how well you live your life. Of the three primary
factors which measure your ability to cope: your attitude,
the social context of your life and the quality of resources
available to you, your attitude becomes the foundation upon
which the others build.
