Are spring showers triggering your migraines? You’re not alone. As many as one in three people with chronic migraines say that weather changes affect their symptoms.

For some people, weather changes can cause imbalances in brain chemicals like serotonin, that can bring on a migraine. Changes in barometric pressure and windy or stormy weather can also be triggers.

Dry, scaly patches of skin on your eyelids can be uncomfortable and unsightly.
Common causes of dry eyelids include:
• Red, flaky lids can be a response to an underlying medical condition such as diabetes or eczema.
• Eyelids can become dehydrated and scaly due to exposure to an allergen, like a plant pollen in the air, or as a reaction to a new clothing detergent, for example.

Talk to our pharmacist for tips on taking care of dry eyelids, and for advice on when you should talk to your doctor.

We will have a scheduled phone outage today starting at 4PM. We anticipate to be down for about a hour.

Hemorrhoids are common and occur when the veins in the a**s and lower re**um become swollen and irritated. They can develop for many reasons, including pregnancy and older age. For many people, hemorrhoids can be very uncomfortable.

Ask our pharmacist for advice on how to manage hemorrhoids, including using over-the-counter treatments, such as topical creams, sitz baths and oral pain relievers, and when to see your doctor.

Changes in diet, lack of sleep, stress, and some medications (including certain antidepressants, treatments for incontinence, and allergies) can all cause constipation. It’s an issue that most people deal with at some point, and one that becomes more common as we age.

For occasional constipation, talk with our pharmacist who can recommend dietary and other lifestyle changes, as well as over-the-counter treatments. If you are experiencing problems often, our pharmacist can also advise on when you should speak with your doctor.

Cleaning away earwax with a cotton swab might seem like a good idea, but it’s actually a no-no. That’s because earwax has a purpose: it maintains moisture in your ear canal and keeps potentially harmful dirt and bacteria from moving deeper into the ear. Plus, in trying to remove it, you can cause harm by puncturing your ear drum, or by pushing the wax in further, which could lead to infection and other problems.

Instead, let the wax be, and use the cotton swab, or better yet, a tissue, to wipe the outside of your ear clean.

A bath soak can take your tub routine to the next level. Here are a few things to keep in mind when shopping for a bath product:
• If you have sore muscles, add Epsom salts to your soak.
• If you are bathing before bed, bubbles infused with lavender will help you unwind for sleep.
• If you have a skin condition like eczema or psoriasis, opt for a fragrance-free bath treatment containing colloidal oatmeal or baking soda to soothe your skin.
