May this new year bring you greater success, endless joy, divine favor, and all the beautiful things your heart desires. The world is better because you are in it.

Happy Birthday to the CEO of Dose of Wellness🥳💚
Keep shining. Keep leading. Keep healing.

Look at this lab result.
The bacteria was resistant to all the antibiotics tested.

Meaning… the drugs we trust to save lives may no longer work.
Honestly, it is sad. Very sad.

Imagine having an infection, being sick, in pain, and the doctor has little or no medicine left that can fight it. That is the scary reality of antibiotic resistance.

How did we get here?

We got here slowly, through everyday habits many people think are harmless:

Using antibiotics without prescription
Stopping treatment halfway once you feel better
Skipping doses
Sharing antibiotics with friends or family
Using antibiotics for malaria, colds, or viral infections
Buying fake or poor-quality medicines
Overuse of antibiotics in animals and farming
Poor hygiene and infection control

Every misuse gives bacteria a chance to learn, adapt, and become stronger.

The painful truth:
Bacteria are evolving faster than many people are changing habits.

What can we do now?

Use antibiotics only when prescribed
Complete the full dose
Never self-medicate
Practice handwashing and hygiene
Vaccinate when needed
Support proper diagnosis and lab tests

Antibiotics are a precious gift of modern medicine.
If we misuse them today, tomorrow’s infection may have no cure.

This is not just a hospital problem. It is everyone’s problem.

Stay hydrated

Gist Time 😂😂😂😂

Patient: Pharm… abeg come, I want tell you something privately. 🤫

Pharmacist: No problem sir, what is it?

Patient: My skin is itching me badly. Since last week.

Pharmacist: Where exactly and what does it look like?

Patient: My hand, chest, and small for leg. I just dey scratch anyhow. 😅

Pharmacist: Did you use anything on it?

Patient: Yes now. I used one cream my friend used when his own body was itching him.

Pharmacist: And did it help?

Patient: It helped him. Me? My own started burning small. 😭

Pharmacist: That is the problem. Your friend’s itching is not your itching.

Patient: Ah! Itching no be itching again?

Pharmacist: No o. Skin itching can come from allergy, fungal infection, eczema, reaction to soap, insect bites, and many other causes.

Patient: So one cream cannot solve everything?

Pharmacist: Exactly. Wrong cream can make it worse.

Patient: I nearly bought another one today.

Pharmacist: Before you buy pharmacy market finish, let us check it properly first. 😄

Patient: I don learn my lesson today.
Lesson:
Not every skin itching needs the same cream. Always ask a pharmacist or healthcare professional before using treatment.

Last night, I kept turning on the bed.
One minute I was checking my phone, the next minute I was staring at the ceiling. Before I knew it, morning had come.

Then the day started... but my body didn’t.

I felt tired, slow, irritated, and unfocused. Even small tasks felt heavy. My head wasn’t clear, my mood was off, and I had no real energy.

That’s when I remembered:
Sleep is not a luxury. It is maintenance for the body and mind.

While you sleep, your body repairs itself.
Your brain resets.
Your hormones balance.
Your memory improves.
Your immune system gets stronger.

When sleep is poor, everything feels harder.

So if you’ve been sacrificing sleep for scrolling, stress, or late-night habits, remember this:

Rest is productive too.
Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is sleep on time tonight. 😴💙

Success means nothing if your body is too tired to enjoy it

Dose of Wellness tips: You don’t need a new life.
You just need better daily habits.
And a new week is the perfect place to start.

💬 What is ONE healthy habit you want to start this week?

To all those that lost their Hearing due to a medication side effects,cmy heart is with you.

💔 “Baba Survived the Sickness… But Lost His Hearing”
Baba was in his late 70s.
Soft-spoken. Always said “Thank you, my daughter” after every injection.

He was admitted in a government hospital for an infection.
They started treatment.
Gentamicin injection.

Morning… injection.
Night… injection.

Days passed.
Baba was not getting better.
So the dose was increased.
“Let’s make it stronger,” they said.
After a few days, Baba started acting strange.

“Eh?”
“Say it again.”
“Talk louder.”

At first, everyone laughed.
“Na old age.”
“Baba don dey dull small.”
But it wasn’t funny.

One morning, Baba didn’t respond when his name was called.
They had to tap him.
🔔 His ears were ringing.
👂 Voices sounded far away.
😔 He looked scared.

That was when the truth hit us.
The injection helping his infection was slowly destroying his hearing.

😞 The Hard Part

The infection eventually improved.
Baba was discharged.
But his hearing?
It never returned.

At home, his grandchildren now shout to talk to him.
He nods, even when he doesn’t hear clearly.
Not because he understands —
but because he’s tired of asking people to repeat themselves.

⚠️ This Is Real Life

Gentamicin is a strong antibiotic.
When the dose is increased or used for too long — especially in the elderly — it can damage the ear permanently.
This is happening in our hospitals.

💚 Dose of Wellness Reminder
Not every sickness needs a stronger dose.
Not every silence is old age.

Sometimes, the body is saying:
“Please, this medicineis too much.”
