Suicidal thoughts, although common, should not be considered normal and often indicate more serious issues. Those who have suicidal thoughts or ideas should reach out to someone immediately via text, phone, or internet. If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, call or text 988 immediately. If you are uncomfortable talking on the phone, you can chat the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline at 988lifeline.org.
You can also text NAMI to 741-741 to be connected to a free, trained crisis counselor on the Crisis Text Line.
These are part of the National Crisis Lines that are available 24 hours a day. We care about you.

Grief is common in our every day lives and The road is hard and rough. We all know that we will experience grief in this life, but you're not meant to go through it alone. No 2 people experience grief the same way and not everyone goes through all of the stages of grief in the same order. Stages of grief can include denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance, guilt, shock, hope, and reconstruction. Some steps to help you cope with grief as you pray and seek God for strength:
1. Allow yourself time to grieve.
2. Be patient with yourself.
3. Give yourself grace.
4. Do the work of grieving.
5. You don’t have to grieve alone, accept support and help along the way. Don’t isolate yourself.
6. There is nothing wrong with grief and it is a natural response to loss.
7. If you need support, seek help and find a grief support group to help you. It’s not weak to ask for help, it’s actually one of your greatest strengths because you realize that it’s too much for you to bear alone.

If you are grieving and struggling or need some additional support, check out the GriefShare Support groups in the area. Don’t allow your grief to get out of control.

Atrial fibrillation, also known as AF or afib, is an irregular heart rhythm or arrhythmia that is common in many people. In atrial fibrillation, your heart beats faster than it should and the upper and lower parts of your heart do not beat in sync the way that they should. This can make you feel tired or dizzy or like your heart is skipping beats, fluttering, pounding or beating too hard or fast. Blood can pool in your heart which may cause blood clots to form. Atrial fibrillation is a health condition that requires regular and routine treatment and you may be asked to make some lifestyle changes. This condition requires that you are regularly seen by your healthcare team.

There are several types of psoriasis, each of which varies in its signs and symptoms:
* Plaque psoriasis. The most common type of psoriasis, plaque psoriasis causes dry, itchy, raised skin patches (plaques) covered with scales. There may be few or many. They usually appear on the elbows, knees, lower back and scalp. The patches vary in color, depending on skin color. The affected skin might heal with temporary changes in color (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation), particularly on brown or Black skin.
* Nail psoriasis. Psoriasis can affect fingernails and toenails, causing pitting, abnormal nail growth and discoloration. Psoriatic nails might loosen and separate from the nail bed (onycholysis). Severe disease may cause the nail to crumble.
* Guttate psoriasis. Guttate psoriasis primarily affects young adults and children. It's usually triggered by a bacterial infection such as strep throat. It's marked by small, drop-shaped, scaling spots on the trunk, arms or legs.
* Inverse psoriasis. Inverse psoriasis mainly affects the skin folds of the groin, buttocks and breasts. It causes smooth patches of inflamed skin that worsen with friction and sweating. Fungal infections may trigger this type of psoriasis.
* Pustular psoriasis. Pustular psoriasis, a rare type, causes clearly defined pus-filled blisters. It can occur in widespread patches or on small areas of the palms or soles.
* Erythrodermic psoriasis. The least common type of psoriasis, erythrodermic psoriasis can cover the entire body with a peeling rash that can itch or burn intensely. It can be short-lived (acute) or long-term (chronic).

It’s important that you get checked to see what type of psoriasis you may have or if it is another skin condition. Call today to schedule.

Gastroparesis, also called delayed gastric emptying, is a disorder that slows or stops the movement of food from your stomach to your small intestine. Normally, after you swallow food, the muscles in the wall of your stomach grind the food into smaller pieces and push them into your small intestine to continue digestion. When you have gastroparesis, your stomach muscles work poorly or not at all, and your stomach takes too long to empty its contents. Gastroparesis can delay digestion, which can lead to various symptoms and complications. It is not common but occurs more likely in those who have diabetes, surgery on the stomach, esophagus, intestines, or with some cancer treatments. Without treatment, complications may occur. Know the symptoms and indications for urgent treatment.
