MAY 29TH CLOSED
FOR MEMORIAL DAY
CAREGIVERS HAVE RIGHTS, TOO!
It happens gradually. She needs a little help balancing the checkbook. There are other bills on
the counter not getting paid. The layer of ice on roads and sidewalks leaves you nervous about
a fall so you stop for her groceries and accompany her to appointments. You notice that her
floors are dirty and there is a laundry basket of clothes waiting to be washed. You do more and
more for her and soon find yourself making daily phone calls or visits to help. You become a
caregiver. Your mother could not live at home alone without your help.
The next things you notice involve your own life— when is the last time I had lunch with my
friends? When did I start eating fast food so often? I used to love going for walks, but how long
has it been? And why do I feel so grumpy, angry and frustrated? The answers are enmeshed
with your new “job” that you didn’t realize you had.
Caregiving is like another job. You choose to do it and truly want to do it. But when you put your
own life and needs on the backburner, you can run into trouble. Caregiving can consume your
time, thoughts and energy and it can chip away at your physical and emotional health. But don’t
dismay, you can be a healthy caregiver! You have rights as a caregiver and following these
rights will keep you healthy and help you give better care to your loved ones, too.
For all you caregivers out there, please read and follow these rights. You have the right to:
Take care of yourself without feelings of guilt. By maintaining your own health, you will be
happier, healthier and a better caregiver for your loved one!
Continue having a life of your own—- one that does not include your role as a caregiver.
Make it a priority to keep doing the things you love, knowing that you are also doing all you
can for your loved one.
Feel and express the strong emotions that caregiving produces. It is nor-
mal to feel anger, fear, loss and depression. Acknowledge these feelings
and find someone to talk to about them.

Prevent Prescription Drug Abuse The misuse of prescription drugs is a problem that affects every community. Friends, family, children and visitors can get into your medicine cabinet without you even being aware. According to combined 2013 and 2014 data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, more than 50 percent of abused pre-scription drugs were obtained free from a friend or relative. Proper disposal of unused and unwanted prescription drugs reduces accidents, thefts, and the misuse and abuse of medications. Sources: SAMHSA, Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality, National Surveys on Drug Use and Health 2013
and 2014

DISPOSAL OF DRUGS
To properly dispose of drugs, April 29th is the day to bring your unwanted and outdated drugs to the Omro Police at 205 S. Webster between 8 & 12 noon.
WHAT’S HAPPENING AT THE PHARMACY?
Are Generic Drugs as Effective as Brand-Name Drugs?
A generic drug is the same as a brand-name drug in dosage, safety, strength, quality, the
way it works, the way it is taken and the way it should be used. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires the generic drugs have the same high quality, strength, purity and stability as brand-name drugs.
Not every brand-name drug has a generic version. When new drugs are first made, they
have drug patents. Most drug patents are protected for 20 years. The patent, which protects the company that made the drug first, doesn’t allow anyone else to make and
sell the drug. When the patent expires, other drug companies can start selling a generic version of the drug. But, first, they must test the drug and the FDA must approve it.
Creating a drug is expensive. Since generic drug makers do not develop a drug from
scratch, the costs to bring the drug to market are less. Therefore, generic drugs are usually less expensive than brand-name drugs. But generic drug makers must show
that their product performs in the same way as the brand-name drug. Source: the U.S. Food and Drug Administration

CAREGIVERS CONTINUES:
Refuse feeling of guilt that may be put upon you by your loved one or others. Do not allow yourself to be manipulated by guilt or other negative feelings. Accept the positive feelings-appreciation, love, forgiveness, gratitude-bestowed on you by
your loved one and others who see your difficult task. Caregiving is hard work and you should feel happy and proud to be a caregiver.
Seek help from others, whether from friends and relatives or paid help. No one can do It all. Accept help in order to maintain your own life and individuality. You need this life to return to when your days of being a caregiver ends. If you need help finding resources for home care services, support groups or other caregiving issues, please call 685-0380 #21 for more information.
