2. Is MPOX gone? (Yes. Started in 2022 and ended pretty quickly. Most of the cases here in S. CA. were in Riverside County. Less than 1/3 of the population got vaccinated, yet the virus disappeared.)
3. What is Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) (In the winter months when there is less light, there’s a drop in Serotonin, and your circadian rhythm. Women get this more than men. Bi-polar folks suffer w/ it more. The farther you are from the Equator. Treat w/ light therapy. Runs in families. Increase in suicidal thoughts. Do more in the sunshine. Take more Vit., D.)
4. Will music decrease any pain you are feeling? (Yes, it does. Any distraction technique will actually help. Especially in the dentist office to distract you from the sounds and even the smells.)
