It goes well beyond Treatment. Why aren’t we talking more about diagnosis and facilitating diagnosis? Why aren’t we talking about financial impact on the lives of so many and those who care for them? It begins with the psychology of acceptance in the face of hopelessness. We are taught the “deal with it” mentality when it comes to this disease. We have been taught this by our mothers and their mothers and our physicians and even by our own friends. Because after all, it’s just a normal part of being a woman right? I sure hope you are all thinking a resounding, NO! Even our own governments consider this disease unworthy of breakthrough consideration. But it does not need to be this way. We stand on the verge of the introduction of new noninvasive rapid diagnostic testing that can be used anywhere in the world by anyone. Why is this so important? It is because without convenient and rapid diagnostics there can be no therapy developed, and there can be no escape from more invasive diagnostic alternatives that hold everything back. Let us all decide to fight the diagnostic battle and the rest will fall into place. follow this link for a glimpse of the future of diagnostics https://lnkd.in/e4xHFpnP

As a healthcare advocate, a common medical complaint from my senior clients is…dry eye. But as we age, ignoring a persistent dry eye problem might not only cause damage to the eye but may be masking undiagnosed underlying issues such as #autoimmune conditions, inflammation, #Parkinson’s disease and more. Of course dry eye can also be caused by other factors such as eye surgery, medications, and environment. However, if you’re a #caregiver, it’s important to be aware of & address dry eye promptly. #dryeye #agingforlife #seniorhealth #visionconditions #eyehealth #familycaregivers
