However, one key difference in their journeys is that The Sopranos alum hid her MS battle from the world for 16 years.<p></p><p style="text-align: left;">In a clip from their new podcast, <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/introducing-messy/id1734318382?i=1000648005610">MeSsy</a>—which debuts March 19 and also tackles life's challenges beyond MS—Applegate admits that she can’t believe Sigler kept her diagnosis hidden for so long.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>To Him belong the keys ˹of the treasuries˺ of the heavens and the earth. He gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills. Indeed, He has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.</b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>(The Quran - Chapter Ash-Shuraa : 12)</b></p><p style="text-align: left;">“It’s because I could for quite some time, until I couldn’t,” says Sigler, who revealed her MS diagnosis in 2016. “And then it became this long series of lies. ‘I have a back issue.’ ‘I must’ve tweaked my ankle.’ I got away with it as long as I could until people would be like, ‘Are you limping? Are you okay?’”</p><p style="text-align: left;">“I was brushing it off because I just didn’t know what that would mean for me to say it out loud and have everybody know,” she continues. “I’ll probably get fired. Who would want me? I had to take a step back and a step away to kind of really reevaluate my life. I really knew I still wanted to act and if I was gonna continue to do that, I had to set boundaries.”</p><p style="text-align: left;">Applegate, who was diagnosed with MS while in the midst of filming her Netflix series Dead to Me, says that’s one of the biggest lessons Sigler taught her.</p><p style="text-align: left;">“One thing you said to me was, ‘Set your boundaries.’ If you hadn’t said that to me, I wouldn’t have been able to finish up the last season of my show and do it because you gave me that power,” she says.</p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMNHw33n37IsTUhvLFGKCScEYtW5gZ81m46C2i5RH4N3QHxd_eCh726kGK_JQYLzFzs8PwwpgAbU_pw2O1bLacWP1Yq5LhyHVOnKlSJ4oDo9Wa1L85hO4bKDzIkU9vCVJqa2pSw4ZUSysVYcun87amuoznsRlIuIcVx0Wt23-QgsfZpXvbKZNE7m45Pr88/s940/Jamie-Lynn%20Sigler%20Reveals%20How%20She%20Hid%20Her%20MS%20From%20the%20World%20for%2016%20Years%20With%20a%20'Long%20Series%20of%20Lies'%20b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Jamie-Lynn Sigler Reveals How She Hid Her MS From the World for 16 Years With a 'Long Series of Lies'" border="0" data-original-height="788" data-original-width="940" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMNHw33n37IsTUhvLFGKCScEYtW5gZ81m46C2i5RH4N3QHxd_eCh726kGK_JQYLzFzs8PwwpgAbU_pw2O1bLacWP1Yq5LhyHVOnKlSJ4oDo9Wa1L85hO4bKDzIkU9vCVJqa2pSw4ZUSysVYcun87amuoznsRlIuIcVx0Wt23-QgsfZpXvbKZNE7m45Pr88/s16000/Jamie-Lynn%20Sigler%20Reveals%20How%20She%20Hid%20Her%20MS%20From%20the%20World%20for%2016%20Years%20With%20a%20'Long%20Series%20of%20Lies'%20b.jpg" /></a></div><br />In an exclusive interview with the two actresses, Applegate also tells how Sigler urged her to set boundaries when trying to continue working, admitting that she was initially scared.<p></p><p style="text-align: left;">While portraying Jen Harding on the Netflix series, Applegate says it was “not an easy job” due to MS and she had to tell showrunners that she couldn’t stand or do a lot of walking for many scenes.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Sigler says she was “in awe” of how much Applegate was able to do while dealing with difficult symptoms of the disease and that she was glad she could help her throughout her journey.</p><p style="text-align: left;">“What I wanted to give her was tools and things that I've learned that have helped me. So first, I told her, ‘You need to set up your boundaries. You need to explain what you can, what you can't do so that there's not another layer of stress.’ And everybody wants to help. Just with a disease like this and an obligation of being an actress on a set, you have to explain it to people, and then it can become a rather seamless operation. But you have to be able to explain what you need and what you don't need.”</p><p style="text-align: left;">We try to explain to people, but honestly, they'll never understand it,” Applegate adds. “I've worked under conditions of having a 104 fever, or I danced on a broken foot on Broadway for a year. Those have an endgame. One day that foot's not going to hurt anymore, and the fever's going to go down. This is forever. And it's really hard to explain to people why you're breaking down. You're breaking down because it's like that finality of it, and that this is it. You don't get better.”</p><p style="text-align: left;">Each episode of Sigler and Applegate’s podcast <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/introducing-messy/id1734318382?i=1000648005610">MeSsy</a> provides an unflinching yet humorous take on living with MS — as well as the broader demands in life that the actresses face every day.</p><p style="text-align: left;">"We would talk on the phone for two hours, and we'd be laughing and crying and we were like, 'This is helping us. Let's record this. Let's do it,'" Applegate tells.</p>Featuring conversations with famous friends and costars like <a href="https://hotgossipnewz.blogspot.com/search/label/Martin%20Short">Martin Short</a> and Edie Falco, Sigler adds that MeSsy isn't just "about the specific experience we're having. It's us facing something hard and it's about figuring out how to still push through. We are sharing the deepest parts of ourselves."<div class="blogger-post-footer">Join the Hot Gossip News

In addition to attendees and performers, the CHD said anyone who was in the building up to two hours after the 7 p.m. show could have also been exposed. The health department advised anyone experiencing symptoms such as a high fever and cough to isolate.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>˹He is˺ the Originator of the heavens and the earth.

The bras were designed for individuals with rib cage sizes ranging from 30 to 34 and cup sizes of B or C.

It would not replace a colonoscopy, however.</p><p style="text-align: left;">The study involved 7,861 people from the United States, who had both a colonoscopy — a medical procedure that uses a camera to look for issues in the large intestine and rectum — and a blood test.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>And so We have revealed to you a Quran in Arabic, so you may warn the Mother of Cities and everyone around it, and warn of the Day of Gathering—about which there is no doubt—˹when˺ a group will be in Paradise and another in the Blaze.</b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>(The Quran - Chapter Ash-Shuraa : 07)</b></p><p style="text-align: left;">The blood test, the study said, caught 83% of the cancers found by colonoscopy, but it missed 17%.

They usually don't show symptoms, which is why regular screening tests to find and remove polyps helps to prevent illness.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Per <a href="https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/colon-rectal-cancer/about/what-is-colorectal-cancer.html">Cancer.org</a>, colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. and the third worldwide.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Colorectal cancer screening is recommended starting at age 45, the <a href="https://acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.3322/caac.21772">American Cancer Society</a> says.

But he began feeling tired, developing headaches and congestion and experiencing shortness of breath after just one day out in the snowy mountains.</p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgldb0AGngbCKpQVC_C5aSY-meMGBxOWA7dTud3S0YbDWOrX4QKNrOmkG-1mqLeU7OzwQyq34Ag4OcEKiWXNC7mU3CGXRa67lUVrjBdK0BYge9GpNjMkINLum8C1I5GzIGIM1PvLgeh9McoMvBNjbCqAnjvune79FQNp5qlS0GfhSFlisfcAiDO4eT5BYf_/s940/Days%20of%20Our%20Lives%20Star%20Greg%20Vaughan%20Hospitalized%20After%20Health%20Scare%20'My%20Lungs%20Were%20Full%20of%20Fluid'%20b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Days of Our Lives Star Greg Vaughan Hospitalized After Health Scare: 'My Lungs Were Full of Fluid'" border="0" data-original-height="788" data-original-width="940" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgldb0AGngbCKpQVC_C5aSY-meMGBxOWA7dTud3S0YbDWOrX4QKNrOmkG-1mqLeU7OzwQyq34Ag4OcEKiWXNC7mU3CGXRa67lUVrjBdK0BYge9GpNjMkINLum8C1I5GzIGIM1PvLgeh9McoMvBNjbCqAnjvune79FQNp5qlS0GfhSFlisfcAiDO4eT5BYf_/s16000/Days%20of%20Our%20Lives%20Star%20Greg%20Vaughan%20Hospitalized%20After%20Health%20Scare%20'My%20Lungs%20Were%20Full%20of%20Fluid'%20b.jpg" /></a></div><br />“I had [hydrated] all day, so into the night I drank a bottle of Pedialyte and NyQuil’d myself out to be ready to tackle BRECK w/the boys the next morning!” he wrote, alongside two photos of himself in a hospital bed.<p></p><p style="text-align: left;">Much to Vaughan’s dismay, the over-the-counter remedies didn’t help much — he wasn’t able to sleep from coughing and “my head felt like it was in a walnut cracker!”</p><p style="text-align: left;">Eventually, he conceded to his sickness and decided to stay in for the day. After another night of congestion and sickness, the actor and model realized that he needed to head to urgent care, he wrote.</p><p style="text-align: left;">“To my shock I learned that I was experiencing severe altitude sickness! My Blood Oxygen was at 54% & my lungs were full of fluids!” he shared.</p><p style="text-align: left;">According to the <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15111-altitude-sickness">Cleveland Clinic</a>, altitude sickness occurs when a person’s body has trouble adjusting to a new high altitude environment, because “breathing in the same amount of air gets you less oxygen than at a lower altitude.” Per the <a href="https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/yellowbook/2024/environmental-hazards-risks/high-elevation-travel-and-altitude-illness">CDC</a>, a person’s normal blood oxygen level — or the number of hemoglobin carrying oxygen in the body’s red blood cells — should be 95% or higher.</p><p style="text-align: left;">In another <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C4gn1BNxn_C/?hl=en">follow-up post</a>, Vaughan shared a photo of his Apple Watch screen that showed he now had a 94% blood oxygen level.</p><p style="text-align: left;">“Well, 4hrs later, a couple of bags of IV & oxygen tank strapped to my face, I was told that I needed to immediately get off the mountain!” he wrote, joking that he couldn’t leave just yet because he and his sons still had a few days of their vacation left.</p><p style="text-align: left;">In all seriousness, no matter your age, and all the times I’ve ⛷️ & 🏂 in my lifetime, Colorado Rockies is no joke!” Vaughan finished his post. “As they say, ‘take a breathe and smell the roses!’ That is truly something we need to remember & appreciate! #recoveryinprogress #myadventures 🙏🏻🤘🏼👊🏼”</p><p style="text-align: left;">According to the CDC, Colorado ski resorts are a common place for travelers to get altitude sickness, especially if the lodgings are at 8,000–10,000 feet above sea level. The best way to combat getting sick, the organization noted, is to slowly ascend over three to five days and adjust “their itineraries to avoid going ‘too high too fast.’ ”</p><p style="text-align: left;">Vaughan, who recently got engaged to Rizzoli & Isles actress <a href="https://hotgossipnewz.blogspot.com/search/label/Angie%20Harmon">Angie Harmon</a>, shares his three sons with his ex-wife and Dutch model-actress, <a href="https://hotgossipnewz.blogspot.com/search/label/Touriya%20Haoud">Touriya Haoud</a>.</p><p style="text-align: left;">In 2020, he announced that he would be leaving Days of Our Lives. Although episodes featuring the actor, who also recurred on Queen Sugar, were taped far in advance, and new episodes with his character are still being released.</p><p style="text-align: left;">"I’ve finished my reign at Days," Vaughan said on a podcast in 2020.</p><p style="text-align: left;">“For all my Days fans that are listening, I love you all... it's never over, so I'm not gonna say it's over. I’m taking a break, if you will,” he said at the time. “Days was going through a renewal negotiation and not knowing where they were going to go. I just felt my time was coming to an end anyways.”</p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Join the Hot Gossip News

Q, who has been celebrated on the show for her fashions, was motivated to discuss the the topic while putting together her look.</p><p style="text-align: left;">"I am doing something very sentimental for the runway today," she said. "It's inspired by the generation of gay people that we lost to the AIDS epidemic in the '80s.

"When I first got my diagnosis I felt like really lost and I felt, like, super alone," she told fellow queen <a href="https://www.instagram.com/the_planejane/?hl=en">Plane Jane</a>. "I tested positive when I was 24. I was mostly scared about how I was going to be treated by family and people around me who don't understand it because it is so stigmatized."</p><p style="text-align: left;">Her fears came true with some. "You know, people have said really awful and nasty things to me and almost de-humanizing me," she recalled.</p><p style="text-align: left;">"It's crazy how much people with HIV have to deal with. I've been treated differently by like, health care providers," added Q. "I think it's so important to have queer people in health care. You really feel that difference in care between those providers."</p><p style="text-align: left;">Joked Plane Jane: "Do you hear that gay people? Stop doing drag and start going to medical school!"</p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrCmiXsaOLSjZxgmdVQI6AU4cyuQnKU3XqqJpukVFR8UYiAKd2HcROzujR-R2S0JRXcYfYNbwInO35Dhdf0UFULojL_Vj1HS-H8gKXnTSF5M5Gpc1U48sSDYmpVlnchfkw8169P9Io_MS-f3PtBAdONpXiGHeG4BkJHsKrECczDLxtJqKFwza059lECVQW/s940/RuPaul's%20Drag%20Race%20Star%20Q%20Reveals%20HIV-Positive%20Diagnosis%20'It's%20So%20Stigmatized'%20B.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="RuPaul's Drag Race Star Q Reveals HIV-Positive Diagnosis 'It's So Stigmatized'" border="0" data-original-height="788" data-original-width="940" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrCmiXsaOLSjZxgmdVQI6AU4cyuQnKU3XqqJpukVFR8UYiAKd2HcROzujR-R2S0JRXcYfYNbwInO35Dhdf0UFULojL_Vj1HS-H8gKXnTSF5M5Gpc1U48sSDYmpVlnchfkw8169P9Io_MS-f3PtBAdONpXiGHeG4BkJHsKrECczDLxtJqKFwza059lECVQW/s16000/RuPaul's%20Drag%20Race%20Star%20Q%20Reveals%20HIV-Positive%20Diagnosis%20'It's%20So%20Stigmatized'%20B.jpg" /></a></div><br />Q is not the first RuPaul's Drag Race contestant to come out as HIV-positive.<p></p><p style="text-align: left;">In the first season, fifth place finisher <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ongina/?hl=en">Ongina</a> memorable broke down on the runway after revealing her diagnosis. "I didn't want to say it on national TV because my parents didn't know,' she said. "You have to celebrate life and keep going, and I keep going."</p><p style="text-align: left;">Her words were celebrated by RuPaul, who called her "an inspiration" and "a survivor."</p><p style="text-align: left;">Years later, in a season 6 episode of Untucked, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/trinitykbonet/?hl=en">Trinity K. Bonet</a> disclosed her HIV-positive status. "I was diagnosed in August 2012, and I have so much to live for," she said. "I have so many goals and aspirations that I want to conquer in my life, so I'm not going to let an obstacle get in the way. I wanted to come on this show, and I wanted to be that voice for people who are scared to speak out about that."</p><p style="text-align: left;">Q, for her part, said on Friday that she's come a long way from the fear she initially felt.</p><p style="text-align: left;">"I'm here, I'm on Drag Race, I know I'm living my dreams," she said. "I know I have a loving husband that really supports and loves me, no matter what."</p><p style="text-align: left;">RuPaul's Drag Race airs Friday (8 p.m. ET) on MTV.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Join the Hot Gossip News

Susana is a 63-year-old former nurse who was forced to retire when intense back pain and autoimmune vasculitis — <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/12101-vasculitis">inflammation in the blood vessels</a> — began to impact her quality of life.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Last fall, however, both Cooper and Susana found themselves in need of a liver transplant. Cooper was in end-stage liver failure due to an inherited condition called Alagille Syndrome, in which bile builds up in the liver and damages it, according to <a href="https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/alagille-syndrome#">Johns Hopkins Medicine</a>. Susana was dealing with fatty liver disease exacerbated by her other health issues.</p><p style="text-align: left;">But in a twist of fate over Labor Day weekend 2023, Cooper and Susana each received part of the same donor liver during NYU Langone’s first-ever split liver transplant. Now they are bonded for life.</p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFiefYoxAqFC2PMLJ5sphqLWNkMvyciLxfB_QOucWrLWGhWB52lJO2GR5LQM8gWoDsK6N6L6s7DdXwYpb81TI1tDmbj0PlIpQ2fF76OUPbBWi0HhBRfatKyBDnqYkOqtd9JJO8graB6ARuOArEHwg-DgY5Ld_qNvjAhY3I9d5-FgFXtLe0Cmurj-CuabFn/s940/One%20Liver%20Saves%20Lives%20of%20a%202-Year-Old%20and%20a%2063-Year-Old%20in%20Rare%20Split%20Transplant%20'It's%20a%20Miracle'%20B.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="One Liver Saves Lives of a 2-Year-Old and a 63-Year-Old in Rare Split Transplant: 'It's a Miracle'" border="0" data-original-height="788" data-original-width="940" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFiefYoxAqFC2PMLJ5sphqLWNkMvyciLxfB_QOucWrLWGhWB52lJO2GR5LQM8gWoDsK6N6L6s7DdXwYpb81TI1tDmbj0PlIpQ2fF76OUPbBWi0HhBRfatKyBDnqYkOqtd9JJO8graB6ARuOArEHwg-DgY5Ld_qNvjAhY3I9d5-FgFXtLe0Cmurj-CuabFn/s16000/One%20Liver%20Saves%20Lives%20of%20a%202-Year-Old%20and%20a%2063-Year-Old%20in%20Rare%20Split%20Transplant%20'It's%20a%20Miracle'%20B.jpg" /></a></div><br />Susana received 80% of the organ, while surgeons sliced off the remaining 20% to give to Cooper.<p></p><p style="text-align: left;">“It's a miracle, but it's really possible with the doctors that NYU [Langone] has. I can't stop thanking them,” says Susana, who lives in Jersey City, New Jersey.</p><p style="text-align: left;">“Everything is different," she says, adding that she is now pain-free.</p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDMeMNyrBZuwySlqil0TpBiPLV2nMeE1W7L-tXk0cAQNUhyphenhyphen6UEeKJ92h_FhXrpM0p1jX-2czCMJD0MCL63V2ipuurmYbfHZmJVaMrEFHs1a5eA2b2g-EHr8lhmRuOqfV7JfgaZVUmtQYVHI-Y2XMGRKjL_ZpLALiJA_W94Ejw_qS6Qjz7T0HkowkkGfoEw/s940/One%20Liver%20Saves%20Lives%20of%20a%202-Year-Old%20and%20a%2063-Year-Old%20in%20Rare%20Split%20Transplant%20'It's%20a%20Miracle'%20C.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="One Liver Saves Lives of a 2-Year-Old and a 63-Year-Old in Rare Split Transplant: 'It's a Miracle'" border="0" data-original-height="788" data-original-width="940" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDMeMNyrBZuwySlqil0TpBiPLV2nMeE1W7L-tXk0cAQNUhyphenhyphen6UEeKJ92h_FhXrpM0p1jX-2czCMJD0MCL63V2ipuurmYbfHZmJVaMrEFHs1a5eA2b2g-EHr8lhmRuOqfV7JfgaZVUmtQYVHI-Y2XMGRKjL_ZpLALiJA_W94Ejw_qS6Qjz7T0HkowkkGfoEw/s16000/One%20Liver%20Saves%20Lives%20of%20a%202-Year-Old%20and%20a%2063-Year-Old%20in%20Rare%20Split%20Transplant%20'It's%20a%20Miracle'%20C.jpg" /></a></div><br />Cooper’s story begins much differently than Susana’s. His parents Amanda and Sherman, who live in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, knew almost immediately after their son’s birth that something wasn’t right. Alagille Syndrome runs in Amanda's family; while she has a mild case, her sister Nicole died from complications after a liver transplant in 1992, just after her first birthday.<p></p><p style="text-align: left;">Coincidentally, Cooper was born on what would’ve been his Aunt Nicole’s 30th birthday.</p><p style="text-align: left;">"It just felt like a sign," says Amanda. "She's his guardian angel. She's been looking after him, and [his birthday] was meant to fall that way.”</p><p style="text-align: left;">Cooper was soon diagnosed with Alagille Syndrome.

The first thing he asked for upon waking up was his favorite beverage.<p></p><p style="text-align: left;">“As he was waking up from anesthesia, the first words out of his mouth were 'Apple juice, mama. Apple juice please.' And because of the way they had done the surgery, he couldn't have anything to eat or drink for 48 hours," explains Sherman. "And then the moment came when they're like, all right, we're going to clear him for apple juice. And I'm like, there's no way that I'm not taking a video of this.”</p><p style="text-align: left;">Sherman posted the sweet clip of Cooper to TikTok, and the video of the 2-year-old went viral. Since then he's been inundated with apple juice, Hot Wheels, and dinosaur toys from his tens of thousands of followers.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Friends of his parents have also set up a <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-cooper-and-his-family-please">GoFundMe</a> to help cover the cost of Cooper's medical expenses.</p><p style="text-align: left;">"We were getting messages from all over the world and a lot of people had reached out and said that it helped them in their own journey to see Cooper being so strong," says Sherman of his son's viral fame.</p><p style="text-align: left;">For Amanda, the most revelatory moment was seeing the extent of the damage to her son’s liver. After the surgery, she and Sherman were shown contrasting photos of Cooper's original liver and the new organ.</p><p style="text-align: left;">"[Cooper's] was green and decomposed. I thought it was like a zombie liver," Amanda says.

I mean, you're sitting there and you literally, I remember I felt like I was going to die. I was in so much pain. And it's in that lower back, we call it butt lightning, but it's the worst pain ever,” she continued. “You’re hot, you’re hormonal, you’re sensitive, you’re in excruciating pain and then someone’s going to tell you that you’re overreacting or you’re lying, just making you feel insane.”</p><p style="text-align: left;">Culpo said she didn’t get proper help for 12 years and she believes it’s because many doctors are simply uneducated about endometriosis. The Sports Illustrated model wasn’t able to receive a proper her diagnosis until she met Dr. Aliabadi.</p><p style="text-align: left;">“She did one ultrasound and saw that I had an endometrioma right on my ovaries,” she said, noting that she has been managing her symptoms well since undergoing surgery in November 2020.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Join the Hot Gossip News

And He is the Most High, the Greatest.</b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>(The Quran - Chapter Ash-Shuraa : 04)</b></p><p style="text-align: left;">The saline goes up one nostril, through the nasal passages, and out the other nostril.</p><p style="text-align: left;">But as the CDC points out in its report, ten people with Acanthamoeba infections said they’d practiced nasal irrigation before being infected with Acanthamoeba.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Three of the patients in the CDC’s report died from their infections.</p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdPNUobsVZOazPB_VmX9F5BFTiqMnSOuhakNNWEK-iLmGvyB_tEFJ_lE9tefPTt05A5oBTCtUMgfo087ps4strjvvSvMFzIhCLFzPwD9twoFBYgU5d2U4PMsqfikWYn7iAibVLkffEAuS7FuJ4FyfT6RGJiYDepSfr5DUn-s3nYYl57IEO4FyU_P-zM6ks/s940/Neti%20Pots%20Linked%20to%20Eye,%20Brain%20and%20Spinal%20Cord%20Infections%20Caused%20by%20Amoeba%20in%20Water%20b.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Neti Pots Linked to Eye, Brain and Spinal Cord Infections Caused by Amoeba in Water" border="0" data-original-height="788" data-original-width="940" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdPNUobsVZOazPB_VmX9F5BFTiqMnSOuhakNNWEK-iLmGvyB_tEFJ_lE9tefPTt05A5oBTCtUMgfo087ps4strjvvSvMFzIhCLFzPwD9twoFBYgU5d2U4PMsqfikWYn7iAibVLkffEAuS7FuJ4FyfT6RGJiYDepSfr5DUn-s3nYYl57IEO4FyU_P-zM6ks/s16000/Neti%20Pots%20Linked%20to%20Eye,%20Brain%20and%20Spinal%20Cord%20Infections%20Caused%20by%20Amoeba%20in%20Water%20b.jpg" /></a></div><br />The amoeba primarily causes <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/acanthamoeba/gen_info/acanthamoeba.html#:~:text=Once%20infected%2C%20a%20person%20may,weeks%20and%20death%20usually%20occurs.">two types of dangerous infections</a>: Acanthamoeba keratitis, and Granulomatous Encephalitis.<p></p><p style="text-align: left;">Acanthamoeba keratitis affects the eyes, causing pain, blurred vision, and sensitivity to light.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Granulomatous Encephalitis is an infection of the brain and spinal cord, which the CDC says causes “headaches, stiff neck, nausea and vomiting, tiredness, confusion, lack of attention to people and surroundings, loss of balance and bodily control, seizures, and hallucinations.”</p><p style="text-align: left;">With Granulomatous Encephalitis, “death usually occurs,” the CDC says.</p><p style="text-align: left;">The CDC points out that in immunocompromised people, Acanthamoeba can also cause skin lesions.</p><p style="text-align: left;">“One patient developed symptoms after only 2 weeks of nasal rinsing, whereas others had been nasal rinsing for years.” the CDC says in its report.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Acanthamoeba is the second type of amoeba linked to neti pots, as infections caused by Naegleria fowleri — commonly known as the brain-eating amoeba — have been attributed to tap water's use in nasal irrigation.</p><p style="text-align: left;">As the <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/common-cold/expert-answers/neti-pot/faq-20058305">Mayo Clinic</a> points out, you should only “use water labeled as distilled or sterilized” for nasal irrigation. If using tap water, you should “boil it for several minutes and then let it cool until it's only slightly warm, called lukewarm.</p><p style="text-align: left;">The problem, the CDC says, is that most people don’t realize tap water isn’t sterile.</p><p style="text-align: left;">“Tap water in the United States is treated to meet safe drinking standards; however, low levels of microorganisms remain in drinking water distribution systems, wells, and premise plumbing,” a report published in the <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9881759/">National Library of Medicine</a> says, saying that up to one-third of respondents “incorrectly answered that tap water does not have bacteria or living things present.”</p><p style="text-align: left;">And "more than half ...of participants said that tap water could be used for rinsing sinuses," the report said.</p><p style="text-align: left;">"Educating against the use of unboiled tap water for nasal rinsing may be effective in preventing invasive Acanthamoeba infections,” the CDC concludes in its report, “particularly among immunocompromised hosts.”</p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Join the Hot Gossip News

You don’t deserve love,’” Rose explained. “I’m dealing with internal s—, external s—... and I'm just one person. I can only consume so much.”</p><p style="text-align: left;">“It kind of all just bubbled up and I was like I’m not okay, I need help,” she said, sharing that she finally found a doctor to help.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="337" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8iqJkQw3COw" title="Amber Rose Takes Blame For Kanye West VMAs Stunt, Talks AE Dating Cher, Mental Health, And Atheism" width="600"></iframe></p><p style="text-align: left;">Rose said the only thing that helped her work through the suicidal thoughts was doing ketamine therapy.</p><p style="text-align: left;">“I had to microdose on ketamine. That’s the only thing that saved my life,” she told Lee. “And my children saved my life because I won’t leave my children no matter how bad it gets mentally.” Rose shares son Sebastian 'Bash' Taylor, 11, with her ex-husband, rapper Wiz Khalifa, and son Slash with her ex-boyfriend, music executive Alexander "AE" Edwards.</p><p style="text-align: left;">“Ketamine has helped me a lot… I get mine from a doctor, which I suggest everyone else do the same if they want to try that for PTSD or depression or anxiety,” she said, sharing that she’ll take the drug before bed. “Over time it kind of helps you regulate the chemicals in your body so you feel less depressed, less suicidal.”</p><p style="text-align: left;">Ketamine is a "dissociative anesthetic that has some hallucinogenic effects," per the <a href="https://www.dea.gov/factsheets/ketamine">U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration</a>. It "distorts the perception of sight and sound and makes the user feel disconnected and not in control," and "can induce a state of sedation (feeling calm and relaxed), immobility, relief from pain, and amnesia."</p><p style="text-align: left;">Ketamine was approved as a short-acting anesthetic by the <a href="https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/daf/index.cfm?event=overview.process&ApplNo=016812">U.S. Food and Drug Administration</a> (FDA) in the 1970s. And in 2019, the <a href="https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/ketamine-depression">Food and Drug Administration approved a nasal spray</a> called esketamine, derived from ketamine, as a medication for depression. However, the drug is also illegally taken to get high, as it can put people into a relaxed or detached state.</p><p style="text-align: left;">If you or someone you know is considering suicide, please contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988, text "STRENGTH" to the Crisis Text Line at 741741 or go to<a href="https://988lifeline.org/"> 988lifeline.org</a>.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Join the Hot Gossip News

Rosenthal, DO, Attending Physician, Division of Allergy/Immunology at Northwell Health, tells.</p><p style="text-align: left;">And for those who are allergic to tree pollen, their reactions are already starting.</p><p style="text-align: left;">“We are starting to see an increase in the number of patients that are coming in for seasonal symptoms already,” Dr. Rosenthal tells. “They seem to be starting a little bit earlier, and a lot of people are complaining of the eye symptoms, specifically.”</p><p style="text-align: left;">But allergy sufferers don’t have to just sneeze and bear it, Dr. Rosenthal advises. There are ways to get relief from itchy eyes and scratchy throats — starting with what you wear.</p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYTP-0-xVdnQq6DGxRgn6EeO-6238Ls7p0bEK9CzFcy6Mqw1TSUhqRhtJwX0onK9lGriQeqs4ci3-77yFdA_u7QE2mOKsaxyb29M-hL2LDJjOivZUl_iECd_-QmAx_lgnj6djESwFRB5CvC78RgFcp1QDxMMY80pktj00hfwhjbUL-oPYfW0Bz8gf9hsT8/s940/Why%20Your%20Seasonal%20Allergies%20Are%20Worse%20Than%20Ever%20This%20Year%20b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Why Your Seasonal Allergies Are Worse Than Ever This Year" border="0" data-original-height="788" data-original-width="940" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYTP-0-xVdnQq6DGxRgn6EeO-6238Ls7p0bEK9CzFcy6Mqw1TSUhqRhtJwX0onK9lGriQeqs4ci3-77yFdA_u7QE2mOKsaxyb29M-hL2LDJjOivZUl_iECd_-QmAx_lgnj6djESwFRB5CvC78RgFcp1QDxMMY80pktj00hfwhjbUL-oPYfW0Bz8gf9hsT8/s16000/Why%20Your%20Seasonal%20Allergies%20Are%20Worse%20Than%20Ever%20This%20Year%20b.jpg" /></a></div><br />“If you wear something to protect your eyes, like sunglasses or glasses, then you're actually able to prevent the pollen from flying into your eyes. It's the contact of the pollen with the mucus membranes of your eyes which cause a lot of that irritation. So wearing glasses or sunglasses when outdoors does make an enormous difference,” he explains.<p></p><p style="text-align: left;">If you usually take medication for your allergies, Dr. Rosenthal says “as soon as you start seeing the first flowers come up out of the ground, that's when you need to start taking your medication.”</p><p style="text-align: left;">“The nose sprays specifically take approximately seven days before you have maximal benefit of them,” he notes. “The antihistamines can kick in quickly, but if you can stop the symptoms earlier, then you're going to have less symptoms all along.”</p><p style="text-align: left;">And taking those different types of medications is crucial, he explains, as one of the biggest mistakes people often make when it comes to treating their <a href="https://people.com/health/manage-seasonal-allergies-outdoors-during-covid-pandemic/">allergies</a> is that “people sometimes will say, ‘I only want to take one medication and not two.' ”</p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqxr-5eBdF1pk4mqvrUpGhJBVN2TADQ7yC1KzgN2ifZzsDGDRw99A6pgDoSPdzialLIntyf7X6nNR5xX6DINKLGwoll9VNZyzkPbz_4OenefuBprXKdQ6L16PNZZVX3bzQKXJj8n9ZKfZcvzPNcMjAQoyYAPR7cyk_839Uh7SJ9JHiLzc6P3XjrmzaGOOL/s940/Why%20Your%20Seasonal%20Allergies%20Are%20Worse%20Than%20Ever%20This%20Year%20c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Why Your Seasonal Allergies Are Worse Than Ever This Year" border="0" data-original-height="788" data-original-width="940" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqxr-5eBdF1pk4mqvrUpGhJBVN2TADQ7yC1KzgN2ifZzsDGDRw99A6pgDoSPdzialLIntyf7X6nNR5xX6DINKLGwoll9VNZyzkPbz_4OenefuBprXKdQ6L16PNZZVX3bzQKXJj8n9ZKfZcvzPNcMjAQoyYAPR7cyk_839Uh7SJ9JHiLzc6P3XjrmzaGOOL/s16000/Why%20Your%20Seasonal%20Allergies%20Are%20Worse%20Than%20Ever%20This%20Year%20c.jpg" /></a></div><br />But seasonal allergies require up to three different types of medications, Dr. Rosenthal explains: Eye drops, oral antihistamines and <a href="https://people.com/health/eric-mccormack-says-he-developed-a-reliance-on-nasal-sprays/">nose sprays</a>.<p></p><p style="text-align: left;">“Thinking that you're taking too much medication or that there's going to be an interaction of medication is a common misperception,” he tells.</p><p style="text-align: left;">And when it comes to nose sprays, people are often doing it incorrectly.</p><p style="text-align: left;">“It's important that when you're in spraying the nose spray, that you point the nose spray towards the same ear that nostril is on, so that you can make sure that the medicine can get all the way up into your nose,” he advises, adding that you should be “taking a sniff in to try to bring that medicine up into your nose.”</p><p style="text-align: left;">If your allergies become unbearable, however, there’s really only one permanent cure, Dr. Rosenthal tells.</p><p style="text-align: left;">“The only way to really cure you of allergies is to have allergy shots or have immunotherapy, which teaches your body to not be allergic to those items in the long term.”</p><p style="text-align: left;">So, he advises, “If this allergy season is bad, and the last few seasons have been bad, instead of continuing to suffer year after year, then it may be worthwhile to see an allergist.”</p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Join the Hot Gossip News

My sister Sara had just tested negative as well. We called each other and high-fived over the phone. That same winter I also had a normal mammogram.”</p><p style="text-align: left;">“Two months later <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C4dXfrULDdJ/">I was diagnosed with breast cancer</a>,” she continued. “In the past ten months I have had four surgeries, so many days spent in bed I can't even count and have learned more about cancer, cancer treatment and hormones than I ever could have imagined."</p><p style="text-align: left;">"Surprisingly, I've only cried twice. I guess I haven't felt like there was time to cry. My focus narrowed and I tabled any emotions that I felt would interfere with my ability to stay clearheaded," Munn added.</p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQcGK2v8U0J_Jmya8gRsXl6wZrFDXYGf80Lcmngjqql2UZERstUpc1a8NzgzxF176ydA2waIZjg01PKZMbgnXkvFZcsUoLv87pKLwHRhAGH8C2cVjThyphenhyphenXggx23L2NuzTEjcxqzk7Rvab6WdZmejhyphenhyphenR8B2wYtB4RMOKqwHMe9c4kAsJ7jTHCEVduPMqMsDa/s940/Olivia%20Munn,%2043,%20Reveals%20She%20Was%20Diagnosed%20with%20Breast%20Cancer%20and%20Had%20Double%20Mastectomy%20b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Olivia Munn, 43, Reveals She Was Diagnosed with Breast Cancer and Had Double Mastectomy" border="0" data-original-height="788" data-original-width="940" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQcGK2v8U0J_Jmya8gRsXl6wZrFDXYGf80Lcmngjqql2UZERstUpc1a8NzgzxF176ydA2waIZjg01PKZMbgnXkvFZcsUoLv87pKLwHRhAGH8C2cVjThyphenhyphenXggx23L2NuzTEjcxqzk7Rvab6WdZmejhyphenhyphenR8B2wYtB4RMOKqwHMe9c4kAsJ7jTHCEVduPMqMsDa/s16000/Olivia%20Munn,%2043,%20Reveals%20She%20Was%20Diagnosed%20with%20Breast%20Cancer%20and%20Had%20Double%20Mastectomy%20b.jpg" /></a></div><br />Munn said she kept the diagnosis and recovery private until now because she “needed to catch my breath and get through some of the hardest parts before sharing.”<p></p><p style="text-align: left;">The actress admitted that she wouldn't have found her cancer if it weren’t for her “guardian angel” OB/GYN Dr. Thais Aliabadi, who’s known for working with stars like <a href="https://hotgossipnewz.blogspot.com/search/label/Rihanna">Rihanna</a> and <a href="https://hotgossipnewz.blogspot.com/search/label/Khloé%20Kardashian">Khloé Kardashian</a>.</p><p style="text-align: left;">She said Aliabadi decided to calculate her Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score. “The fact that she did saved my life,” Munn said.</p><p style="text-align: left;">“Dr. Aliabadi looked at factors like my age, familial breast cancer history, and the fact that I had my first child after the age of 30.

This versatile spice boasts a rich, aromatic character, often described as warm, sweet, and slightly nutty. <p></p><p>Its fragrance is truly captivating, adding depth and complexity to both sweet and savory dishes.</p><p>Nutmeg's journey from tree to spice rack is shrouded in a touch of mystery and involves a unique cultivation process.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">The Enchanting Aroma of Nutmeg</h2><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Island Origins: </span></h3><p>Nutmeg's native home is the Banda Islands in Indonesia. Historical records suggest it was once so valuable that European powers fought fiercely to control the nutmeg trade [1].</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The Elusive Fruit: </span></h3><p>Nutmeg isn't actually a nut, but the seed of the evergreen Myristica fragrans tree. This tree can reach up to 60 feet tall and takes roughly 7-9 years to mature before producing fruit.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The Mace Factor: </span></h3><p>The fruit of the nutmeg tree is a fleshy drupe, similar to a peach. Inside this fruit lies the true prize: a single, dark brown seed – the nutmeg we know. Surrounding this seed is a bright red, lace-like aril called mace. Both nutmeg and mace are prized spices, though nutmeg possesses a stronger, more intense flavor.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Laborious Processing: </span></h3><p>The unique cultivation process begins with harvesting the mature fruits. The fleshy part is discarded, and the nutmeg seed is extracted. However, the story doesn't end there. The seed is covered in a hard shell and a mace aril, both of which need removal.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Sun-Kissed and Spice-Ready: </span> </h3><p>The extracted nutmeg seed is then placed in a drying process. Traditionally, this involves placing the seeds in lime or salt baths and then sun-drying them for several weeks. This drying process cracks the shell, allowing for easier removal, and also imparts the characteristic warm aroma and golden brown color to the nutmeg we use in our kitchens.</p><p>This meticulous cultivation process, coupled with its historical significance, contributes to nutmeg's allure as a unique and valuable spice.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Versatile Uses of Nutmeg</h2><p>While nutmeg might hold a nostalgic place in our minds as a sprinkle atop pumpkin pie, its versatility extends far beyond the realm of sweet treats. Here's a glimpse into the culinary adventures nutmeg unlocks:</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Sweet Symphony: </span></h3><p>Nutmeg remains a star in the bakery, gracing cakes, cookies, custards, and puddings with its warm, sweet notes. It pairs beautifully with cinnamon, cloves, and ginger, creating the quintessential holiday spice blend.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Savory Surprise: </span></h3><p>Nutmeg transcends the dessert aisle, adding an unexpected depth of flavor to savory dishes. A touch of nutmeg enhances creamy sauces, potato gratins, and winter squashes like butternut and pumpkin.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Global Inspiration: </span></h3><p>Embark on a culinary world tour with nutmeg! In Indian curries and Middle Eastern stews, nutmeg adds a subtle warmth. European dishes like béchamel sauce and French potato salad benefit from its delicate touch.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Unexpected Delights: </span></h3><p>Think outside the box! Nutmeg can elevate simple dishes like mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables. A sprinkle on scrambled eggs or oatmeal adds a touch of sophistication.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Health Benefits of Nutmeg</h2><p>It's important to address the health benefits of nutmeg with caution. While some studies suggest potential benefits, strong scientific evidence is lacking and ingesting large amounts can be harmful.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Anti-inflammatory properties: </span></h3><p>Nutmeg contains compounds that might reduce inflammation in the body.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Antioxidant effects: </span></h3><p>Certain compounds in nutmeg may act as antioxidants, potentially offering some health advantages.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Consumption Caution: </h3><p>Nutmeg contains myristicin, a compound that can cause hallucinations and other toxic effects in high doses.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Join the Hot Gossip News

Moderation is key to enjoying their benefits without consuming excessive sugar.</p><p>Daily Value (DV) percentages are based on a 2,000 calorie diet.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Health Benefits:</h2><p>The vibrant red color of dried pomegranate seeds isn't just visually appealing; it reflects the wealth of potential health benefits they offer.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Antioxidant Powerhouse: </span></h3><p>Dried pomegranate seeds are particularly rich in punicalagins and other antioxidants. These compounds help combat free radical damage, which can contribute to various chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Potential Anti-Inflammatory Effects: </span></h3><p>Studies suggest that the anti-inflammatory properties of pomegranate seeds may be beneficial in managing conditions like arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Cardiovascular Health: </span></h3><p>Research indicates that pomegranate may support a healthy heart by potentially aiding in lowering blood pressure and reducing bad cholesterol (LDL) levels.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Digestive Health: </span></h3><p>The high fiber content in dried pomegranate seeds promotes healthy digestion and may aid in regulating bowel movements.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Immune System Support: </span></h3><p>The presence of vitamin C and other essential nutrients can contribute to a healthy immune system, potentially aiding in fighting off infections.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Culinary Versatility: </h2><p>Dried pomegranate seeds, with their vibrant color, delightful crunch, and unique sweet-tart flavor, transcend the role of a mere garnish. They are a culinary chameleon, adding a burst of taste and texture to various dishes, both savory and sweet.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Salads: </span></h3><p>Sprinkle a handful of dried pomegranate seeds over your favorite salad for a delightful pop of color, a refreshing tartness, and a satisfying crunch that complements leafy greens, vegetables, and creamy dressings.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Dips and Spreads: </span></h3><p>Incorporate them into hummus, yogurt dips, or chutneys for a delightful textural contrast and a burst of tangy sweetness.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Rice and Pilaf: </span></h3><p>Elevate your rice dishes by adding a spoonful of dried pomegranate seeds during cooking. They pair beautifully with savory spices like cumin and turmeric, offering a unique depth of flavor.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Curries and Stews: </span></h3><p>Don't be afraid to experiment!

The path is steep, the wind is harsh, and doubt creeps in. But then, you reach a ledge with a breathtaking view, reminding you of the beauty that awaits at the summit. <p></p><p>This is the essence of navigating life's challenges – it's a journey with both hurdles and triumphs. Here's where attitude becomes the crucial rope that helps you ascend.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Shaping Your Perception: </span></h3><p>A positive attitude acts like a mental filter. It allows you to see challenges as opportunities for growth, not insurmountable obstacles. You focus on solutions rather than dwelling on problems, fostering a proactive approach.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Fueling Resilience: </span></h3><p>Setbacks are inevitable, but a strong attitude equips you with the mental fortitude to bounce back. You view failures as learning experiences and possess the unwavering belief that you can overcome any hurdle.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Unlocking Potential: </span></h3><p>A can-do attitude ignites your inner fire. It fuels your determination, perseverance, and the unwavering belief in your ability to achieve your goals. This self-confidence empowers you to push past limitations and reach for greater heights.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Consider this: </span></h3><p>Two individuals might face the same challenge: a job rejection. One might see it as a personal failure, their motivation dwindling. The other, with a positive attitude, might view it as a chance to learn and improve their skills, actively seeking feedback and pursuing new opportunities.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Key Takeaway: </span></h3><p>While circumstances may be outside your control, your attitude towards them shapes your entire experience.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">The Power of Perspective</h2><p>Our outlook significantly shapes how we navigate life's situations. By reframing challenges and adopting a positive perspective, we can unlock the power to dramatically alter our experiences and outcomes. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDm-ElBhETU04C1G8B86hjggmm70_s7U_OR5PwHyvTFdk35TwAXi5r_wrZF6dO3YXu_pLx91ThU5dxs9ehLH6MR2I1dVkleDzpWW_1M7zRx4Yqb4h4KElocmDsudF5d3i4skGmvXyxYX8M2TLccSq1P2-Lg0FWa9bfNDAeXVtp2slu7FBvSzB7iRmUDmTA/s1080/Conquer%20Life's%20Challenges%20Master%20the%20Art%20of%20Unbreakable%20Attitude%20b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Conquer Life's Challenges Master the Art of Unbreakable Attitude" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDm-ElBhETU04C1G8B86hjggmm70_s7U_OR5PwHyvTFdk35TwAXi5r_wrZF6dO3YXu_pLx91ThU5dxs9ehLH6MR2I1dVkleDzpWW_1M7zRx4Yqb4h4KElocmDsudF5d3i4skGmvXyxYX8M2TLccSq1P2-Lg0FWa9bfNDAeXVtp2slu7FBvSzB7iRmUDmTA/s16000/Conquer%20Life's%20Challenges%20Master%20the%20Art%20of%20Unbreakable%20Attitude%20b.jpg" /></a></div><br />Here's how:<p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">From Setbacks to Stepping Stones:</span></h3><p style="text-align: left;"><b>Negative Lens: </b></p><p>When faced with a setback, a negative outlook might label it as a personal failure, leading to discouragement and hindering the motivation to try again.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><b>Positive Reframe: </b></p><p>Reframing the situation as a learning experience fosters a growth mindset.

It fosters trust, strengthens communities, and inspires others to pay it forward. </p><p>In a world that can feel harsh, kindness is a beacon of light, reminding us of our shared humanity. Start small, spread kindness, and witness the transformation – in yourself and the world.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Importance of Kindness in Life</h2><p>Life's journey can be bumpy. Kindness acts as the shock absorber, smoothing the ride for both you and others. A warm word lifts a spirit, a helping hand eases a burden. </p><p>Kindness strengthens bonds, fosters trust, and builds a community of support. It's contagious, inspiring others to spread the love. It doesn't require grand gestures - a patient smile, a listening ear - these simple acts hold immense power. </p><p>Kindness isn't just feel-good; it's essential for a happier, healthier you and a more connected world. Choose kindness, one act at a time.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">What is Kindness</h2><p>Kindness isn't just sugar-coated niceness. It's a deep empathy that compels action. It's the smile you offer a stranger on a gloomy day, or the time you lend a patient ear to a friend. </p><p>Kindness involves understanding, respect, and a genuine desire to make a positive impact. It's a choice, not an obligation, and it flourishes in big acts of service and tiny gestures of compassion. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Ysju13zfg6gC6dy2H56ybTQJJ8TSn-_n4O9gWXGCukeQufAooOmgD-OklzCUc0uVOniJ0VArVYnk9YEbsx-hefkaCkxiEbI3T2Wo9HXAsbIhGKGmCf9fQzCvhrYihcz7QViv9upzDRMa8OBhWu28yoAI6yBDQeNUPM-JBTmkmYOWhCbPeO65YaIWob5w/s1080/The%20Power%20of%20Kindness%20Heal%20Yourself%20and%20the%20World%20b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Power of Kindness: Heal Yourself and the World" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Ysju13zfg6gC6dy2H56ybTQJJ8TSn-_n4O9gWXGCukeQufAooOmgD-OklzCUc0uVOniJ0VArVYnk9YEbsx-hefkaCkxiEbI3T2Wo9HXAsbIhGKGmCf9fQzCvhrYihcz7QViv9upzDRMa8OBhWu28yoAI6yBDQeNUPM-JBTmkmYOWhCbPeO65YaIWob5w/s16000/The%20Power%20of%20Kindness%20Heal%20Yourself%20and%20the%20World%20b.jpg" /></a></div><br />Kindness is the language that speaks to everyone's heart, building bridges and creating a more connected world.<p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Difference Between Kindness and Politeness</h2><p>Politeness is like sugar on a pill - it makes things easier to swallow. It's about manners and following social norms, using "please" and "thank you." </p><p>Kindness, however, goes deeper. It's the genuine desire to help, a warmth behind the words. It's offering your seat to someone in need, not just holding the door. </p><p>Politeness keeps things smooth, while kindness creates ripples of positivity.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Ways to Express Kindness</h2><p>Kindness blooms in a thousand ways! Offer a sincere compliment, hold the door open for someone, give up your seat on a crowded bus. Volunteer your time, offer a listening ear to a friend, check in on an elderly neighbor. </p><p>Write a thank-you note, leave a positive online review, donate to a good cause. Even small gestures, like a genuine smile or letting someone merge in traffic, can brighten someone's day. </p><p>Kindness starts with you, so choose to be a ray of light in the world, one act at a time.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2C7g7ivJF3dh58sKokUScoq5VtofhBVyjDU0mp9Rn_WHOoSA7BFaWlFnlquNdwkW2uKsP8_8tAjzprf_QrUsEjxlW5HeNx1LYaUtZI_nNUDTs7glTIQQf1yoRBS_aP5qn9CNFg0-BD89Bou2JE6EutuHJbzqatDqcy50QVZcEX_olTWnhVf1DJbJRgr5h/s1080/The%20Power%20of%20Kindness%20Heal%20Yourself%20and%20the%20World%20c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Power of Kindness: Heal Yourself and the World" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2C7g7ivJF3dh58sKokUScoq5VtofhBVyjDU0mp9Rn_WHOoSA7BFaWlFnlquNdwkW2uKsP8_8tAjzprf_QrUsEjxlW5HeNx1LYaUtZI_nNUDTs7glTIQQf1yoRBS_aP5qn9CNFg0-BD89Bou2JE6EutuHJbzqatDqcy50QVZcEX_olTWnhVf1DJbJRgr5h/s16000/The%20Power%20of%20Kindness%20Heal%20Yourself%20and%20the%20World%20c.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Kindness is a Personality Trait</h2><p>While kindness can be nurtured and strengthened, it can also be a core personality trait. People with a naturally kind disposition tend to be empathetic, compassionate, and have a genuine desire to help others. </p><p>They see the good in people and actively seek opportunities to spread positivity. It's not about perfection; everyone makes mistakes. </p><p>It's about a consistent choice to act with care and consideration, making them a source of light and support for those around them.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">The Science of Kindness: </h2><p>Why It Feels Good to Do Good</p><p>Kindness isn't just warm fuzzies! Science backs its power. Acts of kindness trigger feel-good chemicals like oxytocin and dopamine in the brain, creating a "helper's high." This happiness boost motivates more kindness. </p><p>Kindness even lowers stress hormones, boosting your well-being. It's a win-win! Studies show witnessing kindness inspires others to follow suit, creating a positive chain reaction. </p><p>Kindness isn't just nice, it's a scientifically proven way to create happiness in yourself and the world.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">The Ripple Effect of Kindness: </h2><p>How Small Acts Create Big Changes</p><p>Kindness, a pebble tossed in life's pond. A smile to a cashier sparks a chain reaction. The cashier, warmed by your gesture, offers extra help to the next customer. This ripple spreads - a patient driver, a generous tip, an act of forgiveness. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaevLZPgmwuNc7NATwf4uPwweNkQdPt8z3VVUQHKyAi6j0UBm0UARcCUylY88pKP0Mnm3OF8K_3U48vr4xfJTCyrMaKCF_2Sxu3SKhDDhUR3zt__cOnRF1uu7xBaNVGCJ5eNWPL76YKKriJlHjdSIHW1Job2-CirQaGgg11qJ5KJTDoa7vJzCO-uYETQBk/s1080/The%20Power%20of%20Kindness%20Heal%20Yourself%20and%20the%20World%20d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Power of Kindness: Heal Yourself and the World" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaevLZPgmwuNc7NATwf4uPwweNkQdPt8z3VVUQHKyAi6j0UBm0UARcCUylY88pKP0Mnm3OF8K_3U48vr4xfJTCyrMaKCF_2Sxu3SKhDDhUR3zt__cOnRF1uu7xBaNVGCJ5eNWPL76YKKriJlHjdSIHW1Job2-CirQaGgg11qJ5KJTDoa7vJzCO-uYETQBk/s16000/The%20Power%20of%20Kindness%20Heal%20Yourself%20and%20the%20World%20d.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Kindness builds trust, fosters connection, and inspires a cascade of positivity.

But how do we navigate the storm of sorrow and emerge stronger on the other side?</p><p>This article dives deep into the world of sorrow, offering insights and strategies to help you process and heal.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Understanding Your Sorrow</h2><p>Sorrow can manifest in many forms. It can be the sharp sting of loss, the dull ache of disappointment, or the quiet grief of unfulfilled dreams. Recognizing the source of your sorrow is the first step towards healing.</p><p>Sorrow washes over us like a tidal wave, leaving us breathless and disoriented. But beneath the surface of this powerful emotion lies a story waiting to be understood. </p><p>Delving into the source of your sorrow is the key to unlocking the path towards healing.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Sorrow can wear many masks.</span></h3><p> It might be the raw ache of a lost loved one, the sting of a broken dream, or the quiet disappointment of unmet expectations. Each experience triggers a unique emotional fingerprint. Recognizing these nuances is crucial.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Ask yourself: </span></h3><p>When did this sorrow begin? What events or situations triggered it? Is it a single, defining moment, or a culmination of smaller disappointments? Journaling your thoughts and feelings can be a powerful tool for self-discovery.</p><p>By identifying the root of your sorrow, you gain a sense of control over the narrative. You move from being a passive victim of your emotions to an active participant in your healing journey. Understanding empowers you to choose healthy coping mechanisms and begin the process of mending your heart.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIBnIbqfqdC0t68uWFVBwsN_XBnCQ4wuH1OuYArRRAVqORDLPmOUJajxW1ducuCeUHDXZSmZCFG435aPROyZ8HjniUsxmHMmkh9U1vzdC2tATjEZL8gEgERXRwbBSC0nS_2cD2vgi_Iby2Ug-2Zrb_cC-_LSxMchURlUsJWpo3LoM0FCLfNpq-3tfcubC0/s1080/Navigating%20the%20Storm%20A%20Guide%20to%20Understanding%20and%20Healing%20from%20Sorrow%20b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Navigating the Storm: A Guide to Understanding and Healing from Sorrow" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIBnIbqfqdC0t68uWFVBwsN_XBnCQ4wuH1OuYArRRAVqORDLPmOUJajxW1ducuCeUHDXZSmZCFG435aPROyZ8HjniUsxmHMmkh9U1vzdC2tATjEZL8gEgERXRwbBSC0nS_2cD2vgi_Iby2Ug-2Zrb_cC-_LSxMchURlUsJWpo3LoM0FCLfNpq-3tfcubC0/s16000/Navigating%20the%20Storm%20A%20Guide%20to%20Understanding%20and%20Healing%20from%20Sorrow%20b.jpg" /></a></div><p></p><p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">The Quran & Sorrow</h2><p>The Quran acknowledges sorrow as a natural human emotion and offers guidance on dealing with it. Here are some key points:</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Validation of Sorrow: </span></h3><p>The Quran validates the experience of sorrow. For instance, in Surah Yusuf (Chapter 12:86), Prophet Yusuf (Joseph) expresses his grief by saying:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>He replied, “I complain of my anguish and sorrow only to Allah, and I know from Allah what you do not know.</b></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Temporary Nature of Sorrow: </span></h3><p>While acknowledging the pain, the Quran also offers comfort by highlighting the temporary nature of worldly struggles. Surah Fatir (Chapter 35:34) states:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>And they will say, “Praise be to Allah, Who has kept away from us all ˹causes of˺ sorrow. Our Lord is indeed All-Forgiving, Most Appreciative.</b></p><p>This verse suggests that in the afterlife, believers will be free from sorrow.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Turning to God: </span></h3><p>The Quran emphasizes seeking solace and comfort in God during times of sorrow. Surah Fussilat (Chapter 41:53) reminds us:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>We will show them Our signs in the universe and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that this ˹Quran˺ is the truth. Is it not enough that your Lord is a Witness over all things?</b></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Patience and Perseverance: </span></h3><p>The Quran encourages patience and perseverance in the face of hardship. Surah Al-Baqarah (Chapter 2:155) states:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>We will certainly test you with a touch of fear and famine and loss of property, life, and crops. Give good news to those who patiently endure—</b></p><p>By remaining steadfast, Muslims believe they will be rewarded by God.</p><p>Overall, the Quran acknowledges sorrow as a natural part of life but offers guidance on navigating it through faith, patience, and seeking comfort in God.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Giving Sorrow its Voice</h2><p>Bottling up sorrow can be detrimental. Allow yourself to express your emotions – through tears, journaling, talking to a trusted friend, or creative outlets like art or music.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p>Sorrow can be a heavy weight, pressing down on us and stealing our voice. We might feel tempted to bottle it up, hoping it will magically disappear. However, suppressing sorrow often leads to a deeper, more prolonged struggle. The key to processing and healing lies in allowing sorrow to have its voice.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Expression is a powerful tool. </span></h3><p>Tears can cleanse the soul, words can release the burden, and creative outlets like painting, music, or writing can offer a safe space to explore your emotions.
