Periods, Puberty, Teens and Products
Hello. I am not a teenager, nor do I think like one. What I am is a registered nurse who enjoys speaking with teens, their moms, their friends and sometimes, their dads about topics related to puberty, their periods, products and health. Actually, I am a women’s health care expert who spends a lot of professional time answering health related questions from a variety of professionals and product users – consumers. Also, I am the one everyone in my realm contacts when they have health questions. Even when I don’t know the facts, I can research them and then relate them in a way that is more understandable than just reading the medical literature. Love being helpful in that way! That is one of the reasons that Tampax, Always and beinggirl.com have asked me to be part of its expert team.
It isn’t a matter of telling anyone what to do – far from it. It is about providing factual information about health so decisions about how to manage it for one’s self, is made using the best information possible. Now that I have said that, it brings to mind the one thing that really sets me off and that is the scary, mythical health stuff that circulates on the Internet. I just shake my head when I read that junk, as I know that it will sent around and sent around and get everyone’s unders in a twirl. Not that I fault the reader, as those “watch out or you will die” emails often-sound true and worthy of consideration. Hard to combat that, but I try using facts and sound science.
So, here we meet for the first time. I will be there for your questions and just to listen to your concerns – and, hopefully your celebrations. I decided to post a blog on blogger.com, because it is a place where women go to research health information and to talk to each other about their questions and concerns. If anyone has any questions, I will respond, when appropriate, and listen and learn from others. Recently, I have posted on other blog sites so I can communicate with women and teens that may have different interests, but still want to have access to factual information about their health. So, you may see me around at other places too.
Looking forward to hearing what you have to say and to sharing information.
Have a good day and I am looking forward to blogging!
