Listen to “Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15th – October 15th) THE IMPORTANCE OF ACTING EARLY WHEN LIVING WITH LUPUS” on Spreaker.

Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15th – October 15th)

THE IMPORTANCE OF ACTING EARLY WHEN LIVING WITH LUPUS
Recognizing the Disproportionate Impacts of Lupus on Hispanic and Latinx Communities

Women of color are disproportionately affected by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the most common form of lupus. SLE is a chronic, inflammatory disease that can result in permanent damage to major organs.[1] Notably, it is estimated that 21 percent of those living with lupus in the U.S. are Hispanic.[2] Patients of color, including Hispanic people living with SLE, also have significantly higher rates of lupus nephritis (LN), a potentially life-threatening complication of lupus, compared to White patients.2

Hispanic and Latinx individuals may also face distinct challenges that can impact access to healthcare that may make managing the disease even more difficult, such as language barriers.[3],[4]

Fortunately, early intervention with the use of FDA-approved medications can help reduce the risk of organ damage progression.[5]

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, on Tuesday, September 24, Guillermo Valenzuela, M.D. is available to discuss the effect of lupus on the Hispanic and Latinx communities. Dr. Valenzuela, who is the Medical Director of the Internal Rheumatology and Immunology Specialists medical center, can also discuss the unique challenges these communities face and the importance of early disease intervention.

There are at least 5 million Americans in the US that suffer from painful DPN and 2.5 million (i.e., 50%) have unresolved pain despite first line treatments.

The symptoms associated with this nerve damage may be painful and include numbness, tingling, as well as burning, shooting or stabbing sensations that most often affect the extremities.3 Not all DPN is painful and many times the early symptoms start with numbness, pins and needles.

DPN is progressive and often starts with some tingles here and there – then it intensifies. As patients begin to lose important sensory information, they gain disruptive (and chronic) sensations like burning, pins and needles.

It is a progressive and debilitating complication of diabetes that was predicted to affect approximately more than 5 million Americans in 2021 and is expected to double by 2030.4-8

Some symptoms have been described by patients as:

Tingling: I feel “pins and needles” in my feet.9

Pain: I have burning, stabbing or shooting pains in my feet.9

Increased Senstivity: My feet are very sensitive to touch. For example, sometimes it hurts to have the bed covers touch my feet.9

Numbness or Weakness: I can’t feel my feet when I’m walking.

In recent years, the lack of effective, innovative treatment options have left many patients with a significant unmet medical need. While opioids have often been prescribed for the treatment of DPN, this treatment comes with risks and there is no substantial evidence that they are effective long term.

In February 2022, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued new draft guidance for clinicians who are prescribing opioids for outpatients with acute, subacute, or chronic pain.

The high use of opioids in people with painful diabetic neuropathy occurs despite the 2017 American Diabetes Acadamy position statement for DPN states that opioids, given safety concerns, are not recommended for use as first- or second-line agents. In addition, the recent 2021 American Academy of Neurology guidelines do not recommend the use of opioids for PDPN.

Now a new education campaign is underway which asks patients who are living with painful DPN and remain dissatisfied with treatment options to submit a short mnemonic acronym to help fellow patients experiencing painful DPN identify ways to describe their symptoms to healthcare providers.

The winning mnemonic will be included in a painful diabetic neuropathy toolkit and released for patients to help support empowered conversations with healthcare providers about solutions to symptoms and available/potential treatment options.

Kathy Sapp, CEO of the American Chronic Pain Association (ACPA), a foundation offering peer support and education in pain management and David Armstrong, DPM, MD, PhD USC Schaeffer Center, to discuss the need to increase awareness and recognition of painful DPN symptoms. They will also talk about building confidence to talk to your healthcare provider, being an empowered advocate for your treatment options and discuss the new education campaign.

Do We the People Possess the Majority Sacrificial Courage to Save the United States?

By: C.A. Lee

Available online at: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywo…

Content

Americans are appalled at the downward shift in American culture and distressed with their government as they see the country they love slipping into the abyss. They instinctively sense the dangers, but cannot define why the shift has occurred or why the country has suffered such a declination. Shifting Culture outlines why we should be terrified, who is at fault, and how to reverse the damage.

C.A. Lee shares Good News about Shifting Culture.
People who read Shifting Culture: Revival, Revolution or Ruin will:

• Finally understand why societal changes have debased our culture, our faith, and our country.
• Be able to easily follow the timeline of events that have caused the shift in our culture, along with the underlying evil, its power and purpose that threatens every American and the country.
• In totality be infuriated at the abuse, corruption, and treasonous acts of those placed in power to protect and defend the Constitution.
• Understand what is at stake and the urgency of taking action before it is too late. Shifting Culture: Revival, Revolution or Ruin, arms Americans with the not so politically correct truth from someone just like them — an ordinary American who isn’t afraid to speak out. Targeted consumers will:
• Reconnect with the power and beauty of our heritage and our Constitution; arm the reader with knowledge, which gives them courage to demand reform.
• Refresh the reader’s basic civic understanding and inform them of crucial information not taught in school.
• Be released from the stranglehold of misinformation, innuendo, and blatant lies.
• Find a renewed patriotism and desire to participate in our self-governing republic.

OVERVIEW

Shifting Culture lays out five critical facets required for the revival and restoration of American culture: faith, citizen involvement, common sense, unbiased media, and statesmen, which are requisite to combating the evil that is real and persuasive in the United States, and are presented in five parts as follows:

1. In Part I, the reader will be reintroduced to a timeline of American history, the Courageous 56 who signed the Declaration of Independence, and the founding principles that shaped the United States.

2. Part II, discusses the original intent of our government, the importance of our responsibilities, how Americans have been lied to, and displays the constitutional timeline of events with “as written” historical documents.

3. Throughout Part III, the reader will be strengthened from a renewed faith, the goodness of the United States, and why they should be proud of their country.

4. Part IV, details the importance of statesmen, the new political parties, and the media malfunction.  The counsel of Presidents offers insights that the American people have ignored.

5. From Part V, the reader will be armed with truth, knowledge, and a renewed patriotism.  With common sense and decency on their side, the reader will make their choices from a suggested plan of action and/or the Covenant with the American People to revive the country, prevent a revolution or the ruin of this great nation.

Interwoven throughout Shifting Culture and designated with specific symbols for the ease of the reader are disturbing trails of power and greed, constitutional treachery, deceit, and treasonous acts.  The majority of Americans are not aware of these controversial issues that will frighten and enrage them.

Money is not only the root of all evil; it is the means to an end. Readers will follow the trail of the money changers that has been woven into the timeline and throughout Shifting Culture.  When viewed as history unfolds, it makes a compelling case of how Americans were deceived in order to accomplish an agenda that has continuously adapted over time.

? Questions?  As the powerful and influential politicians, government officials, and judges were bought and bribed, constitutional fraud was committed.  The questions cause the reader to think about their future decisions.

 Stars represent citizenship – the citizenship that has been stolen from the American people.  The reader will learn how it happened and what to do about the problem.

What gave you the idea to write this book? 

Quite honestly, I couldn’t keep quiet any longer.  Speaking to groups and writing blogs and op-ed pieces wasn’t enough.  I felt there was a need to “kick-start” citizens into action through patriotism, basic information, renewed interest in our history, the realization that there is good and evil in this world, and to debunk the political and media control over us.

I wrote Shifting Culture because I had too many unanswered questions.  Speaking with others, I found that they too wanted answers.  What our children are taught in school, the proffered pandering by politicians, and the progressive media mush have contributed to the shifting of our culture.  If we lose our culture, we lose our country.

Finally, I wrote Shifting Culture because it needed to be written.  Most political opinion books address a few issues, a party or candidate, but they do not tie it all together.  An ordinary citizen needed to say to the power brokers, politicians, and media that the American people know what you are doing and we intend to stop it dead in its tracks or die trying.

Why are you exactly the right person to write a book on this subject? 

I am exactly the right person to write this book!  Shifting Culture is written from a great-grandmother’s perspective.  This is my country and I’m proud of her and horrified at the evil that shrouds the basic common sense and decency of our people.  We have been lied to and manipulated by the media, the federal government, politicians on both sides of the aisle along with their supporters, handlers, and the powerful money changers.

Why shouldn’t an ordinary citizen stand up and say, “Enough is enough,” and this is what we need to do to stop the cultural shift in our country?  That’s part of the problem.  Most citizens do not get involved.  If my Lee ancestors had taken that attitude, we would still be under the control of the English.  This “Nana” does not sugarcoat any of the issues and lays out the drastic measures needed to prevent a revolution or the ruin of this great country.

What in your book do you consider “newsworthy”?

Shifting Culture calls for the immediate revival of citizen involvement in order to prevent a revolution, which will save the United States from ruin or from being devoured by a larger governmental power.  Shifting Culture demands repeal of the Fourteenth, Sixteenth, and Seventeenth Amendments to the Constitution, along with other massive changes to be enacted by Congress as outlined in the Covenant with the American People.

Shifting Culture is demanding deportation of all illegal aliens.

The timeline of events in Shifting Culture exposes clearly that the American people have been duped and that drastic problems call for immediate reform.  The American people have been led like sheep to the slaughterhouse through treasonous corruption and abuse.

Shifting Culture is placing Congress on notice that the People will demand their States to intervene in order to accomplish that which Congress refuses to do.  By the power under Article V of the Constitution whereby the States may amend the Constitution without the consent of Congress or the President, Congress is placed on notice that we don’t need them.

What is the Good News?

The United States is a great country and we can make a difference in our culture and in the future of our country.  It takes involvement, research, and common sense.

We must restore our rights and our Constitution through a revival of our faith and values and demand explicit reform from our rulers in the federal government.
