Early signs and symptoms include pain, a burning or tingling sensation that can be severe and blistering, then the appearance of rashes.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Herpes Zoster or shingles is a skin rash that is caused by the same virus as that which causes chickenpox &#8211; varicella zoster. Early signs and symptoms include pain, a burning or tingling sensation that can be severe and blistering, then the appearance of rashes. Rashes are patches of red and little blisters that may appear on the face, ears, eyes, and mouth. When the blisters are drying, there will be crusts that will fall off in time. There will be a small chance that the person with these blisters will scar.</p>
<p>Signs and Symptoms</p>
<p>* High fever and chills</p>
<p>* Pain in the abdomen</p>
<p>* Difficulty in facial movements</p>
<p>* Ptosis or drooping of the eyelids</p>
<p>* Lesions in the genital area</p>
<p>* Headaches</p>
<p>* Pain in the joints</p>
<p>* Problems with the senses (vision, hearing, and taste)</p>
<p>* Swollen glands</p>
<p>Causes of Shingles</p>
<p>Chickenpox may leave inactive viruses in your body. They just become dormant and are never really eliminated from the body&#8217;s nervous system. When this virus reactivates after some time, it can cause shingles. One may likely contract shingles when they are over the age of sixty, have had chickenpox before their first birthday, and have a weakened immune system.</p>
<p>Common causes for the activation of this dormant virus may include stress, a deficiency in the immune system, and cancer. These, however, are not definitive as the true cause of virus activation is not yet found. Because of this, all individuals who have had chickenpox are candidates for contracting this disease.</p>
<p>Treatments</p>
<p>Antiviral medication is often prescribed by doctors as treatment for shingles. It helps in pain reduction and minimizes the risk of further complications such as temporary blindness or infections. Some anti-inflammatory medications are also given for prolonged pain and continued swelling. To help the medication, the patient can apply cold wet compress to soothe the pain. Lotions such as calamine may relieve itchiness and provide comfort. Affected areas should be cleaned regularly to prevent infection.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chairlifts can be dust magnets the best method and products to use to clean your stairlift are described below. Cleaning your stairlift should be a simple straight forward job. A quick dust down twice a week with a cloth duster or feather duster should be more than adequate.</p>
<p>Avoid using water or cleaning solvents at all costs. For straight stairlifts with aluminium tracks/rails can be wiped over with a damp cloth (Damp Not Wet) Then buff dry with a clean cloth.</p>
<p>The seat chair/carriage can be cleaned using house polish! Always spray the polish onto the cleaning cloth then rub and buff to a shine. (Never spray the polish directly onto the chair/carriage)</p>
<p>Spraying house polish directly onto the carriage may well cause damage to components and circuit boards. If too much polish is applied it can find its way (Drip) through air vents and gaps etc. Causing S/C Short Circuits or corrode delicate components on the PCB printed circuit board.</p>
<p>Curved stairlift rails/tracks should never be cleaned with any type of solvents. Avoid house polish and DWD (Engineering oils) like the plague. Curved stairlifts use a system where the speed of the stairlift is monitored using an RMU! A roller sits on the rail and as your stairlift moves this roller rolls along the rail sending pulse information to the operating system.</p>
<p>Cleaning the curved rail with solvents will cause the roller to lose friction and skid. This action causes the stair lift to receive wrong pulses and the stair lift will stop/shutdown. Typical symptoms intermittent stop starting! The stairlift will travel a few inches then stop. This symptom could also be caused through flat batteries.</p>
<p>If you have to remove marks from a curved rail a good rub with a damp cloth should remove most marks. For stubborn marks a light rub with wire wool or light gauge emery paper is all that is required. The rail should appear matt/ dull not a shiny glossy colour.</p>
<p>Cleaning of your stairlift should be undertaken by a qualified engineer who should clean and lubricate the stair lift following the manufacturer&#8217;s specification and guidelines on its annual service inspection.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A bones and raw food diet (BARF) is usually the perfect diet for your pet. Wild dogs live a comparatively long lifespan in comparison with domesticated dogs, provided they&#8217;re not hunted by other creatures. Degenerative sickness and disease are just about non-existent in wild dogs. Compare that to domesticated dogs that are getting diagnosed with degenerative conditions the same as humans such as many forms of cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and etcetera.</p>
<p>Could diet even be a factor? Just about all suggestions point to that. Wild dogs are usually not exposed to food laced with preservatives, chemical substances and artificial coloring created from unnatural processed pet food or left over byproducts. A BARF diet for dogs might virtually get rid of unnatural substances from going into your dog&#8217;s digestive system.</p>
<p>Scientific study has discovered that even the best commercial pet foods include things like altered ingredients that could potentially cause waste toxins to develop in your dog&#8217;s body which may contribute to sickness.</p>
<p>As opposed to human beings, dogs can easily digest fresh meat therefore it may benefit them tremendously by improving their general health. If we pet owners devour raw red meat, then we&#8217;d become extremely ill. Our bodies cannot process it like dogs can. Vice versa, in the event dogs indulge in excessive human food, then their life might well be shortened.</p>
<p>Cats and dogs have been built to hunt and kill their prey and consume the resulting food in the raw condition. They were in addition trained to chew on the resulting bone fragments. You can actually feed your pet dog meaty fresh bones everyday. Your pet dog will obtain the essential nutritional value which they need to have for a healthier lifestyle.</p>
<p>Human beings don&#8217;t require the enzymes and amino acids evident in fresh meats. However, dogs and cats need to have them for their health and well being.</p>
<p>Depriving your pet of a BARF diet is comparable to depriving a person of fruit and vegetables their entire life. Dogs can simply just not function the way in which they are suppose to and their internal organs can break down noticeably sooner ending in a shorter life.</p>
<p>High protein pet food like a BARF dog&#8217;s diet may be the best way to guarantee a happy, healthy and long life for your family dog!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Caring for your <a target='_blank' href='http://articoolz.com/category/home-family/babies/'>Baby</a> is certainly one of the most important things you need to consider once you became a new parent. There are many things you need to take into account in order to make sure that your baby gets all the attention.</p>
<p>1. Make sure that you feed your baby right. Deciding on whether you should breastfeed or bottle-feed your baby greatly depends on your personal decision and what your physician recommends. However, it has been shown that breastfeeding is still the best way to nourish newborn babies. Lots of benefits can be obtained through breastfeeding. Some medical studies have determined that breastfed infants have less hypersensitivity later in life compared with those who were raised with bottle feeding. This is mainly because the mother&#8217;s milk is known to contain natural enzymes and antibodies that can help fortify the baby&#8217;s immunity against infirmities. Aside from this, some doctors also believed that breast milk is responsible for superior intellect as he/she grows and becomes fully developed.</p>
<p>2. Practical sleep aid tips for infants. Sleep is crucial for babies because it has a direct effect on the child&#8217;s mental and physical growth. Newborn babies sleep for up to 17 and 18 hours a day. Parents should understand that babies sleep cycle could be pretty erratic. You may notice for a few weeks, your baby&#8217;s sleep may only last from approximately 30 minutes to 3 hours, and this can vary throughout a 24 period. But by the sixth week, you should see some signs of improvement as your baby&#8217;s sleep pattern becomes more structured. Newborns show signs of sleepiness by crying or rubbing their eyes. Newborns should be put down to sleep as soon as they feel sleepy. If you are not getting much sleep at night it may be a good idea to sleep when your baby does during the day if possible.</p>
<p>3. The proper way of bathing your newborn. Newborn babies need not be bathed on a daily basis. Bathing them two to three times a week is enough. Bathe your baby using sponge baths. This is imperative at first. Tub bathing your baby can only be done once the baby&#8217;s umbilical cord falls off to avoid infection.</p>
<p>4. Maintaining your baby&#8217;s optimal skin care. Newborn babies have smooth and delicate skin. For this reason, it is necessary that you use products that are especially made for babies. But before buying any baby product, it is best to consult your pediatrician. Most babies develop rashes from time to time and this is perfectly normal. However, if your baby seems irritated by a rash or has a fever, you should immediately seek advice from your baby&#8217;s doctor.</p>
<p>5. When to give the baby medicine. Like anyone else, newborn babies sometimes have special needs that require attention. When giving your baby medicine, it is important that you follow the advice of your baby&#8217;s physician. You need to know how to give the right dose prescribed by the doctor. It can sometimes be advised to start the baby with a small dose to ensure there is no adverse reaction to the medication.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A couple of common question often asked! Should I have insurance cover on my stairlift. Should I try and have it listed on my Home content insurance or find a separate insurance company that deals with mobility products.</p>
<p>Should you take out any cover at all? Well some people seem to stroll along through life with no complications and never seem to have any bad luck with items they purchase. Unlike myself! No matter what I buy even if it&#8217;s the dearest item in the shop sure as day follows night I guarantee it will break. (Normally just out of the guarantee period) So if you are one of them people like me. I highly recommend some type of insurance policy be taken out.</p>
<p>Stairlift breakdowns can be costly as well as inconvenient: Most stairlift companies will offer you an annual stair lift maintenance contract once your warranty has elapsed. The initial train of thought on discovering the price of these annual service contracts is to wave them goodbye.</p>
<p>What are the Pro&#8217;s &amp; Con&#8217;s: The simplest solution would be to have a stair lift maintenance contract with the company you purchased the stair lift from. Plus side! Local Engineer on call, Van stocked with spare parts, In-house trained on the products they install service and repair. One phone call should have you flying up and down the stairs again in no time.</p>
<p>Downside: Tied into a twelve month contract, Very expensive 300-500 per year (none refundable) Depending on the maintenance contract you take out parts might not be covered or limited (Always read the small print)</p>
<p>Home Insurance Policy: It&#8217;s down to You to find a company that will attend to your breakdown. If it&#8217;s late at night not much chance of that happening unless you are on their books and have their emergency breakdown number. You will still need to find the hard cold cash to pay for the repair and call-out charge and then claim this back through your insurance company (This could take Months)</p>
<p>Lets face it when you need your stair lift you need it NOW. The last thing anyone wants to be doing is looking through the telephone book. Phoning company after company if it&#8217;s late at night you will only get a telephone answering service, not much help . Ever made an appointment with a company that never turned up! I have many times, back to square one you best get the phone book out again.</p>
<p>In a nutshell any type of cover is better than no cover. If you want hassle free service and don&#8217;t mind the hefty price tag your options are simple. If you are on a limited budget then home insurance could be better than no insurance. Insurance companies that insure mobility products should have a private contractor or stairlift company who attends emergency call-outs on their behalf etc.</p>
