As Michigan’s stay-at-home order has now largely been lifted, the news may leave some employees worried about how to safely return to the workplace. When it’s time for you to go back to “business as usual,” these tips can help protect you and your peace of mind:
As Michigan continues to shelter at home, you may have questions about how to go about running essential errands. Running an essential errand means leaving home only if you must, such as grocery shopping, visiting the pharmacy, banking and picking up takeout food from restaurants.
Life changes with every decade, from graduating college to raising a family to planning for retirement. Regardless of age, all women should make a commitment to embrace a healthy lifestyle.
When it comes to urinary incontinence or overactive bladder (OAB), nobody wants to share their troubles with anybody, let alone their health care provider. That said, millions of Americans suffer from bladder control issues.
While TV commercials make menstruation seem like a breeze, with women making the most of everything—from water sports to ballroom dancing—you’re probably not eagerly awaiting your next cycle. This may be especially true if you experience

Menorrhagia affects more than 10 million American women every year. If you’re one of them, your period is, well, no picnic. You may be suffering from complications like heavy blood loss, severe pain and even anemia.
Nobody looks forward to discussing sexual health concerns with their doctor, and no woman is eager to share being dry “down there” or having painful intercourse. That said, if you’re one of the millions of women experiencing vaginal dryness, take comfort in a couple of facts:
1. You’re far from alone. (About 17 percent of women between 18 and 50 have problems with vaginal dryness during sex. And approximately one out of three women struggles with vaginal dryness during menopause.)
Work deadlines ... family responsibilities ... Instagram and Facebook feeds ... jogging, walking or taking the stairs ... visiting your out-of-state relatives ... hosting your book club ... channeling your inner green thumb. You lead a busy, active and fulfilling life.
So why sweat it if you lose a little sleep?
Just imagine what it would be like to suffer with a debilitating health problem and be afraid to seek treatment or even tell a family member about your condition because you fear they won’t understand. This would be a very lonely experience.
No one purposefully sets out to have problems when they begin to use alcohol. But excessive alcohol consumption is a risk factor for many health and social problems and is the third leading cause of preventable death in the U.S.
Problem drinking can develop suddenly in response to a genetic predisposition or a stressful life change. Or it can creep up gradually as a person’s tolerance to alcohol increases.
The bottom line is how alcohol affects you. If drinking is causing problems in your life it’s likely you have a problem with your use of alcohol.
