Dealing with Illness and Disease

Welcome to my blog, guys! This blog is going to be about a subject which is very close to my heart. In the last year, various members of my family have been affected by illness and disease.

Thankfully, my mum and my sister have now made full recoveries. I wanted to start this blog as a way of showing thanks and to help others.

A compounding pharmacy is a type of pharmacy that makes medications from scratch, instead of simply dispensing medications that are premade in a factory.
