So You Have Been Given A Diagnosis – Has This Been Helpful To You?

I suspect not, for diagnosis is based on a set of signs and symptoms – a diagnosis does not give you any information as to what is causing your headache or migraine.

The diagnosis you have been given is based on the International Headache Society’s classification system. However, because consistent research is lacking and evidence for assumptions is inadequate, a large part of the diagnostic classification system is based on expert opinion and compromise; the system is subject to criticism and frequently challenged. The authors of the classification system have acknowledged this, indicating that the system is unwieldy, lengthy and very detailed and that it was essentially intended for research rather than as a clinical tool. This is not assisted by the fact that there are overlapping symptoms between cervicogenic (neck-related) headache, tension-type headache and migraine (making differential diagnosis unconvincing), and increasing evidence which suggests that the different headache types share a common mechanism – perhaps the different headache and migraine types are not separate entities, but simply different expressions of the same process.

It is interesting to note that the ‘triptans’ (medication designed specifically to abort the migraine process) are effective in managing migraine, tension-type headache, menstrual migraine, cluster headache, sinus headache, cervicogenic and post-traumatic (whiplash) headache – Why? Supposedly the ‘triptans’ stop the migraine by constricting or narrowing the blood vessels … but are menstrual migraine, tension headache and sinus headache, for example, caused by expanding blood vessels?

Other questions are intriguing also …

Why is it that whiplash-associated headaches exhibit similar features to migraine, tension-type and cervicogenic headache?

Why is it that accompanying neck pain and or stiffness, and headache or migraine triggered by neck position or movement, which are distinctive features of cervicogenic headache, and a history of migraine, tension headache, menstrual migraine, cluster headache start soon after neck trauma?

Why is it that many women not only endure menstrual migraine but also experience similar headaches at other times in their cycle, when oestrogen levels are not significantly lowered – for example mid cycle when oestrogen is at its highest? Menstrual migraine supposedly results from decreased eostrogen …

The answers can be drawn from the recent and significant research, which has demonstrated that the brainstem is sensitised or hyper-excitable in both migraine and tension-type headache sufferers and that the ‘triptans’ desensitise the brainstem (suggesting that sensitisation is evident in range of headache and migraine conditions – and the upper cervical spine (neck) is in a key position to sensitise the brainstem).

It is appropriate that the first step is for your headache or migraine to be assessed by your doctor who will then determine if a neurological opinion is required and whether a scan of your head is necessary. In the vast majority of cases a scan is negative, that is, no abnormality is present. Subsequently, what usually happens is that medication is suggested, and then starts a ‘merry-go-round’ of trying different medication regimes; you as headache or migraine sufferer are (perhaps unnecessarily) destined to a lifetime of medication.

At this point, what is missing is a thorough examination of the structures of the upper neck.

Why is it that the role of the cervicogenic (neck-related) factors in headache and migraine, is largely dismissed by the medical model of headache? Perhaps it is because consideration of the neck does not fit the medical model and anything that does not fit into the medical model is not given serious consideration. Furthermore, because examination of the neck does not fit into the medical model, there has been little interest in developing the role of treating the neck for the relief of headache or migraine. Given the significant number of people who suffer headache and migraine it is essential that all factors that could sensitise the brainstem be investigated equally (this is not the case with the cervicogenic aspect) to create a more comprehensive approach.

As a result of my unparalleled clinical experience I have developed an approach, which not only determines if disorders of your neck are likely to be the source of your headache symptoms (sensitisation), but can also identify the spinal segments at fault. This diagnostic accuracy increases the chances of a successful outcome.

I know that some of you may have had your necks examined and treated unsuccessfully but until your neck has been examined by a practitioner* experienced in this approach, your upper neck cannot be ruled out as the source of your headache or migraine – what is it to be – the possibility that your neck has been the unidentified source all along or a lifetime of ongoing medication?

Hint: If your headache or migraine is one sided and then on another occasion is on the other side, or if your headache can swap sides within the same episode the source of your headache is your neck and it is the C(cervical) 2-3 spinal segment!

Your Heart And Circulation

Trouble with the human body may be approached from the point of view of its structure or its function. The heart may be enlarged, or its valves may leak or be narrowed, or its blood supply may be inadequate because of blocking. The changes in structure produce changes in function which are reflected in symptoms. From the functional point of view the heart may beat too fast or too slowly, or irregularly. Its beat may be weak or strong. The heart may be overactive or underactive.

When the heart is overactive people complain of palpitation. The heart sounds are loud and the pulse is full and bounding. Signs of an overactive heart may be seen when one has had severe exercise or emotional stress. With excessive action of the thyroid gland the heart beats more rapidly, as it does also with severe anemia. Whenever there is fever or lack of oxygen the heart becomes overly active.

When the circulation of blood through the blood vessels is insufficient because of failure of the heart, which means under activity, the symptoms include apathy and lassitude, sometimes faintness, and collapse. If a sudden hemorrhage occurs the circulation fails. With failure of the heart the blood pressure falls and the skin becomes cold, clammy, dry, and inelastic.

In heart failure congestion of the lungs follows, with shortness of breath and the difficulty with breathing that occurs because of fluid.

The Overactive Heart

After severe muscular exercise the amount of blood returned by the veins to the heart increases. Something similar occurs when there is anemia, lack of oxygen, over activity of the thyroid gland or fever, Increase in materials carried in the blood occurs also in the toxemia of pregnancy, in dropsy, or with disturbances in the way in which the body uses salt and water.

As the inflow increases, the pressure in the blood vessels into which blood is pumped lessens. The heart beats more rapidly and strongly. As long as the heart can handle the change in its load of work, the patient may not be too much disturbed. When the load gets too big and the reserve power of the heart is damaged, emptying of the heal will fail to keep up with the inflow of blood. This may cause beginning failure of the heart.

If the flow of blood into the heart is inadequate, the tissues of the body will not get the blood and oxygen that they need. If this occurs suddenly, as it may do from a variety of causes, the brain does not get the blood and oxygen that it needs and the person faints or collapses.

Heart Failure

More people die from heart failure than from any other cause, and most likely conditions affecting the heart will continue from now on to be the leading cause of death.

Failure of the heart is usually associated with high blood pressure, and with extreme narrowing of the valves that carry the blood from the heart into the large blood vessel called the aorta into which the heart empties.

The heart always makes an effort to handle its increasing burden. It does this by enlarging the muscle fibers and dilating to increase the size of its cavities. When the load gets too heavy the rhythm of the heart becomes irregular. There may be pain like that of angina pectoris. The cough that occurs is due to the congestion in the lungs. With heart failure digestive symptoms may be prominent, including nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite, and sensations of fullness in the middle of the abdomen. Of course, a heart that has been damaged by disease such as rheumatic fever or other infections is more likely to fail than a healthy  heart.

Care Of The Failing Heart

The doctor’s treatment of a failing heart is designed to take work off the heart, help to get rid of excess fluid, and improve the heart’s action. The person with congestive failure of the heart is like a man who is going bankrupt because his income and assets have been sharply reduced. He has to cut down immediately on expenditures, and maintain a rigid conservation of what he has. In this condition the patient must depend on the doctor to outline his conduct for him. If the man must earn his living, he must get home after work as soon as possible and spend every moment he can actually resting; this applies equally to the use of the week-end. The person with a weak heart must avoid climbing stairs; must never lift heavy objects or carry packages. Every source of tension, including family disagreements and arguments, must be eliminated. Excess of tea, coffee, tobacco, and alcohol is a serious misdemeanor for the patient with congestive heart failure.

While rest must be the objective, enough movement must be employed to keep muscles alive. The simplest kind of household activity or, for some, a few holes of golf on a flat course may be desirable. Avoidance of boredom is also necessary, and for this purpose congenial conversation, selected reading, and simple card games, chess or checkers, may be helpful.

Blood Pressure

Your blood pressure is a measure of the activity of your heart in pumping, and of the resistance created by the size and the hardness of the walls of the blood vessels. When the doctor measures your blood pressure he puts an inflatable cuff around your arm, then stops the blood flow by pumping air into the cuff; then he listens with a stethoscope to get the pressure at the time when the heart was  contracted – systolic pressure-and when it has dilated or relaxed-diastolic pressure. The pressure is taken by a column of mercury measured in millimeters or by a spring device calibrated to the mercury column.

Normal blood pressure may range from 95 to 160 systolic and 65 to 90 diastolic. There may be a range in the systolic pressure from 85 to 300 and in the diastolic pressure from 40 to 160. The pressure may vary with sleeping or waking, sitting or standing, with exercise, lack of oxygen or anemia; with chilling, anger, anxiety, frustration or the height of pleasure.

Low Blood Pressure-Hypotension

People with blood pressure below the average used to be said to suffer from low blood pressure. The condition was called hypotension. Hypotension is a condition in which the systolic pressure is under 80 mm. of mercury or 20 rom. below the usual average of the person concerned. The blood pressure may be  low after prolonged rest in bed or with malnutrition. The blood pressure may also be lowered by conditions affecting the spinal cord or by the operation which cuts off the sympathetic nervous system. A feeling of faintness or weakness is indication that the blood pressure is lower than it should be.

High Blood Pressure-Hypertension

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is diagnosed by the doctor when, after repeated examination, the pressure is  above the average in which the person lives. In the United States, levels are around 120 to 140 systolic and 80 to 90 diastolic. The pressure may reach 180 systolic and 100 diastolic without the appearance of any symptoms.

If the person suffers with acute hypertension, such symptoms as convulsions, loss of vision, severe headaches and kidney inflammations may be indications. In chronic high blood pressure dizziness, headaches, hemorrhages in the eye or the brain, heart failure and uremia may be present. Still, cases are known in which people with definitely high blood pressures on measurement have failed to manifest any of these symptoms.

The first indication of the condition is the changes in the blood vessels at the back of the eye, which the doctor sees with an ophthalmoscope. Definite relationships have been established between the blood-flow through the kidneys and the pressure of high blood pressure. A high salt or sodium chloride intake may set up high blood pressure. The pressure with high salt intake is associated with the functioning of the adrenal glands.

In an examination of the patient with high blood pressure study of the urine, which indicates the condition of the kidneys, is important. A low specific gravity-under 102D-and the presence of albumin or pus may show that the kidney condition is responsible. If the kidney function, as determined by a variety of tests, is normal, the doctor then sees if the adrenal activity is proper. A number of laboratory and functional tests are available which the doctor can use.

The suggestion has been made that the first steps are: reassurance of the patient, sedation with the appropriate drugs and restricted use of salt. Rigid elimination of salt from the diet is recommended when there is headache, dizziness, and heart failure. Several drugs are known which will lower blood pressure but all are difficult to use and may have unfavorable effects. Reduction of weight, rest, mental hygiene, are the best measures that can be recommended in a majority of cases of high blood pressure.

How Upper Back Pain Happens And Manual Treatments To Aid You

Upper back pain could be caused by the direct result of a sudden injury or trauma. It could also be caused by slouching which causes strain over a long period of time. Many people who have desk jobs often complain of upper back pain. Often, there will also be neck or shoulder pain along with the upper back pain.

Most of the cases are caused by one or all of the following things:

* Joint dysfunction

* Muscular irritation

Muscular Irritation

The shoulder girdle is attached to the shoulder blade by large muscles and the back of the rib cage. Those large muscles are more likely to become irritated, and this can be very painful and hard to work off. Muscular irritation is most often caused by the lack of strength or repetitive motions. Sports injuries, muscle strains, automobile accidents and other related injuries could all end with pain due to muscular irritation

This form of upper back pain can be treated with these manual treatments:

* Exercise and physical therapy

* Massage therapy

* Acupuncture

* Chiropractic manipulation

Most therapy options will involve a lot of stretching and strengthening exercises because the pain is generated from large muscles.

Joint Dysfunction

The ribs and the vertebrae are connected by two joints in the spine. Dysfunction in those joints could cause bad upper back pain.

Treatments for this form of pain will usually include manual manipulation which will help to mobilize the joint and increase the person’s comfort level. Long lasting relief will normally require a home exercise program which will help to stretch out the spine and shoulders. Aerobic exercises are also a good way to maintain pain relief.

Pain medicine could also help the pain. The most helpful medicines to take are the anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen.

Uncommon causes

There is very little motion in the spine, and there is also a lot of stability through the spine. It is because of this that it does not usually develop disc hernias, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, or instability. Very rarely, upper back pain will be caused by thoracic disc disease. Getting the right diagnosis will require some diagnostic testing and a correlation of symptoms.

Sudden trauma of significant injuries could also cause a fracture in the thoracic vertebrae. If this occurs, physicians need to be notified immediately and test need to be run to determine a treatment plan.

Natural Appetite Suppresant Herbs – What Are The Examples Of These Plants?

Natural appetite suppressant herbs are in demand because losing weight is easier said than done. One grave struggle that overweight people have to deal is having a strong urge to eat. This intense desire to eat makes them overindulge their body with food. When you suggest a switch to a healthy lifestyle, they quickly shrug it aside because their understanding of “healthy” means to starve themselves or deprive them of the need to eat. On the other hand, healthy living and controlling your appetite do not imply that you go hungry. It is actually the opposite because a lot of good foods are satisfying and nourishing.

Facts About Imitrex Pain Medication

Imitrex pain medication is the second name that comes to mind after Tramadol pain medicine. The only difference is that most of the doctors relate it to the cure of migraine only. It is not used commonly for other physical pains. It is an anti-migraine medicine that helps in stopping migraine symptoms during an attack. It stimulates the brain, which eases the strength of the attack, and the patient feels relieved. Imitrex pain medication is mainly used to control severe migraine attacks and help patient ease down the pain, sensitivity to light and dizziness.

People wonder, at times, how does Imitrex pain medication work once it is inside the body. What it does is constricts the blood vessels of the brain because it hypothesizes that widening of blood vessels is one reason for a migraine attack. It is able to reduce the migraine pain by making the pain receptors of the brain useless. It does not allow these pain receptors to receive any pain signals from the body. Imitrex pain medication also affects the capability of serotonin receptors of the brain, thereby causing further relief in pain.

Imitrex pain medication comes in two variants. You can either go for the tablet form or for the injection. According to the observation and surveys, the injection works better and quicker than the tablet. The tablet takes at least 2-4 hours to give any results. On the other hand, the injection starts its work within an hour. Recently, Imitrex has come up with a nasal spray too, which is believed to show results in two hours. Imitrex pain medication is a sure shot pain reliever of migraine attacks – no matter which form you choose for yourself. The only difference is the time it will take to show results.

Imitrex pain medication can be bought online with a prescription. You do not need to go to a medical store in your market. You can purchase this medicine while being at your home. All you have to do is search a reliable online medical store from where to get this medicine. But make sure, you consult your physician before taking this medicine. It is essential to disclose your medical history to your doctor when you are asking for Imitrex pain medication. Unless your doctor is aware of your medical history, he will not be able to decide whether this medicine can be beneficial for you or not. Make sure you do not hide even any allergies, if you have.

Bladder pain, symptoms feel better with cipro what can this be? im a 16 year old male?

I have had bladder pain for 1 year now without a diagnosis. first it was just pain with urination all of the time that got better wiith cipro. then, it started spreading to my buttox and down mostly my left leg but also to the right. it hurts to pee, poop, masturbate, and fart. I feel pain in my inner thigh, back of the hamstring, and in the side of the leg. I have had hundreds of uranalysis in which all have come back negative. doctors dont know what to do. If i stop taking cipro the pain comes right back, while im on cipro the symptoms are tollerable. I recently have been tested and i am defficient in vitamin d. could that be part of this?

Vitamin D3 deficiency is becoming an epidemic. U.S. RDA are much too low & the prescription vitamin D supplements are the wrong type (ergocalciferol ). Luckily you can buy vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and the upper limits are extremely high. Current recommendations are for 35iu per pound – a 200# person needs minimum of 7000iu per day & the rda is 400iu. This amount is for minimal needs and does not account for depleted stores. Right now (March) is when our stores are at their lowest.

I personally have been doing 30,000-50,000iu per day for the past month trying to refill my stores. It is highly recommended that you have your vit.D levels tested but my research shows toxicity only at outrageous, long term levels.

Low Vitamin D levels greatly increases your risk of cancer, diabetes, MS & heart attack.

I would also suggest you research iodine supplementation.

Lastly try willow bark extract. Willow bark extract was used in a blind study conducted by the American Journal of Medicine. A large percentage of the users of willow bark reported being pain-free after the study was completed.

Massage. Everyone enjoys a massage, but massage therapy has been known to help in this area. When massaging the back where the pain is most prevalent, it helps to increase endorphins. Endorphins make us feel good. When we feel good, pain becomes much more manageable. Just be sure when you get a massage it is done by a professional massage therapist. A suitably qualified practitioner will know how to treat your general back pain or back disc pain. If someone who is not trained in massage was to work on your back, they could do more harm than good. That’s why a professional massage therapist is so important.

Back pain can be excruciating and many people have turned to prescription medication in an effort to get rid of their pain. Often they become addicted to or overly dependent on it. It will help your back pain in the short term, but may also lead to complications with dependancy should you choose to stay on it in the long term.

There are natural products that do quite well in helping to ease the pain. A natural ingredient called capsaicin is found in hot peppers. There are creams that are made with capsaicin that can be applied directly to the painful area on the back. The capsaicin in the cream causes a warm, tingling sensation, and it is often reported to greatly ease back pain. The more you apply, the more intense the feeling will be so use with care.

Eat a healthy diet and include lots of water. Many good whole natural foods are filled with vitamins that aid in the relief of back pain. Calcium, Vitamin B12, and magnesium are found in many foods and help in managing back pain. Also, consume lots of water. Water will help you to keep your body hydrated. This can make a vast difference in the severity of your back pain. Back disc pain and back pain fatigue can also be helped when we remain hydrated.

As previously mentioned, back pain can be very hard to deal with. That’s why it is so important to seek out alternate methods of relief, and choose the one that will help you the most. It may take a little time through trial and error but once you find an alternative solution that works well for you, you will be on your way to feeling better and that much closer to living your life the way you want to – naturally!
