Prescription

     Written down before beginning a plan of care including medication, an anticipated remedy may improve our health.  We learn the common uses of the meds, why we need them, and  how and when to use them.  We are also warned about interactions causing the drug to be less effective or dangerous and cautioned about stopping too soon or adding other elements.  Side effects are listed which may create unpleasant or dangerous complications.  Sometimes, a medication that is good for one part of the body may be dangerous for another.
     When we have other issues in life, we may need to write a plan before beginning a  remedy.   Obviously, we feel we have a need for action but should be careful of how we go about it and when.  The change may be a temporary or a life-long adjustment.  Our actions may cause unanticipated side effects which may be pleasant or not.  The plan may need to be improved to get the results we want.
     We usually follow the advice of our doctors when it comes to helping our body function as it should.  We need to be sure our own prescriptions keep our everyday lives functioning well and our relationships healthy while we continue toward our goals.
