❤️ How about some good news? When a dad needed a kidney, his family started a “Kidney 4 Joe” Facebook page to find a donor. The twist? A complete stranger saw the post through a mutual friend, got tested and turned out to be a match. They met for the first time on surgery day. Proof that one share can change everything.

Share of food-triggered nightmares blamed on dairy. Milk, yogurt and late-night queso ranked second only to sweets (30%) in dream-ruining potential.

Want to show off your pics? Pop them on the TV for everyone to see. Here’s how.

Diabetics on Ozempic, Mounjaro or a similar GLP-1 medication are four times more likely to go blind from NAION. This condition cuts off blood flow to the optic nerve. Using one of these drugs for weight loss? That risk jumps to seven times more likely. No one’s talking about this. Share this with anyone you know taking this medication.

But there is hope. Pranathi Perati ran out of treatments until she found a new drug called daraxonrasib. It’s kept her alive for 17 months and counting. It causes fatigue and ulcers, but she feels better than she did on chemo. Share this with anyone who can benefit right now.
