It is very important to have an I.C.E card, 'in case of an emergency'. This is a card that will let a Dr. know important information during an emergency or a time when you can't remember important information.
Making this kind of card is easy. It should be the size of your driver's licence preferably laminated. Write or print your name, Dr.(s) information, emergency contact person, allergies, medication your on and any other medical information you think is relevant.
I know in Canada and the USA that Dr's will look for this information in your wallet behind your drivers licence. If you want to add information into your phone, check with your local advisors for that information. I have also found it helpful when I'm seeing another Dr or in a hospital when I have to give them my medical history, especially what RX's I'm taking and the amounts.
One other thing I would like to mention is having Bipolar Disorder or any other kind of mental disorder, we often self medicate our selves with street drugs. Being honest with Dr's is the best thing for every one. They can't tell any one (if your worried ask them first) and they will be able to help yo better. Some time RX drugs can have a bad reaction with other drugs.

Stress can depress
It's amazing that one small thing in life that's stressful, when not dealt with can cause so much pain in so many other areas of life.
I've been having back pains the past few months so bad that it wakes me up every few hours. If that doesn't wake me my night mares do. I've had so many other problems and had no idea what to do about it, I was going crazy again not being able to sleep.
Almost two yrs ago I had an accident in a store due to a faulty stool where I fractured my elbow and it took 1 1/2 yrs to heal. When this happened I said to myself that this is something I'm not going to let them get away with like I have with every one in the past. This ended up putting so much pressure on me. Since I couldn't do any thing with the claim at that point I buried my anger so I could get on with my life.
A long time has past and I finally forced myself to start dealing with it by filling the claim. As soon as I did this fog lifted off me. My back cracked with ever move I made and I was able to think so clearly. I couldn't believe how one thing caused all of my problems, some thing that I wouldn't even have thought of. I was making a bigger deal out of this than it really was.
Isn't it true that there are so many times that we procrastinate on doing some thing that it weighs on our head so heavy, it impairs us from doing other stuff in our lives.
