MIGRAINE HEADACHE

Migraine Head Ache

Tips For Migraine Head Ache :
Migraine headaches are one of the most common problems seen in emergency departments and doctors' offices. Migraines are due to changes in the brain and surrounding blood vessels.

Migraine headaches typically last from 4-72 hours and vary in frequency from daily to fewer than 1 per year. Migraine affects about 15% of the population. Three times as many women as men have migraines. More than 80% of people with migraines (called migraineurs) have other members in the family who have them too.


Different types of migraine headaches :

• Common migraine accounts for 80% of migraines. There is no "aura" before a common migraine.
• People with classic migraines experience an aura before their headaches. Most often, an aura is a visual disturbance (outlines of lights or jagged light images). Classic migraines are usually much more severe than common migraines.
• Status migrainosus is a migraine that does not go away by itself.

Migraine Headache Triggers:
Triggers of migraine headaches are different for each person. Triggers include changes in daily routine, foods, hormones, medicines, lights, odors, or other things in the environment.

The most common migraine triggers are  :

• Stress (either during a stressful time or right after stress subsides).
• Menstrual cycle in women.
• Changes in your routine, such as how much you exercise or how much you sleep.
• Fasting or skipping meals.
• Changes in the weather, heat, or high humidity.
• Bright lights, glare, or reflected sunlight.
• Foods, such as chocolate.
• Alcohol—all alcohol, or one type of alcohol in particular, like beer or wine.
• Odors such as perfume, paint, dust, and certain flowers.

Exams and Tests :
The diagnosis of migraine headache rests solely on what a patient describes to a doctor. A doctor's physical examination of a migraineur typically reveals nothing out of the ordinary; however, a neurological examination will be performed to rule out other causes of headache.

Other causes include stroke, tumor, inflammation of a blood vessel, and infection of the brain's coverings (meningitis) or of the sinuses.
 In such cases, the following tests may also be performed :

• Blood tests
• X-rays
• CT scan or MRI of the head to look for bleeding, stroke, or tumor.
• A spinal tap (also called a lumbar puncture) to look for evidence of infection or bleeding

Migraine Headache Treatment :

Self-Care at Home

• Most migraineurs can manage mild-to-moderate attacks at home with the following strategies:
• Using a cold compress to the area of pain
• Resting with pillows comfortably supporting the head or neck
• Resting in a room with little or no sensory stimulation (light, sound, odors)
• Withdrawing from stressful surroundings
• Sleeping
• Drinking a moderate amount of caffeine
• Trying certain over-the-counter headache medications 
• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) : These include medications like aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve), and ketoprofen (Orudis). Stomach ulcers and bleeding are serious potential side effects. This type of medication should not be taken by anyone with a history of stomach bleeding. A doctor or pharmacist should be asked about possible medicine interactions if the migraineur is taking other drugs.
• Acetaminophen (Tylenol): Acetaminophen may be safely taken with NSAIDs for an additive effect. Taking acetaminophen by itself is usually safe, even with a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding. Acetaminophen should not be taken if the migraineur has liver problems or has 3 or more alcohol drinks a day.
• Combination medications : Some over-the-counter pain relievers have been approved for use with migraine. These include Excedrin Migraine, which contains acetaminophen and aspirin combined with caffeine. A similar effect can be achieved by taking 2 aspirin or acetaminophen tablets with a cup of black coffee.

11 Best Home Remedies  :

• Drink water
• Drink Caffeine
• Tying a headband around the head
• Fish oil
• Peppermint oil
• Eat Ginger or Take Ginger capsules
• Magnesium
• Vitamin B2(Riboflavin) : In doses of 400 milligrams a day, vitamin B2 can also act as a preventative for migraines, It can cause some people to urinate more frequently or have darker urine, so the dosage may have to be adjusted.
• CoEnzymeQ10 : Grosberg said that taking 300 milligrams per day has proven to be effective in reducing head pain.
• Butterbur : The most effective "natural medicine," Grosberg said, is called butterbur, or petasites.
• Cold (or hot) compress.

Prevention :

Migraine triggers should be identified and avoided. Making individual lifestyle changes is very important. Changes may include avoiding certain types of foods and certain emotional situations. If missing meals triggers headaches, the migraineur should make every effort to eat on a regular basis. In some instances, the use of biofeedback may help reduce the severity and frequency of attacks.

Outlook :

After the headaches are under control, the prognosis is very good. However, patience is the key. As noted previously, it may take several attempts before an effective treatment plan is found.

Treating migraine is an art more than a science. No "cookbook" recipe is effective for every person. A drug that works well for one migraineur may not provide any relief for another. A combination of different medications is sometimes needed to treat resistant headaches.

DIABETIC FOOT CARE

Diabetic Foot

Foot Care Tips For Diabetic Patient : Diabetes can mean double trouble for your feet. First, diabetes can reduce blood flow to your feet, depriving your feet of oxygen and nutrients. This makes it more difficult for blisters, sores, and cuts to heal. And Second, the diabetic nerve damage called peripheral neuropathy can cause numbness in your feet. When you can't feel cuts and blisters, you're more likely to get sores and infections.
If you don't notice or treat the sores, they can become deeply infected, and lead to amputation.
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy can also cause sharp pain in your feet. You may become excruciatingly sensitive to the lightest touch, like the sheets on your bed.

From American Diabetes Association :

Foot Ulcers and amputations are a major cause of morbidity, disability, as well as emotional and physical costs for people with diabetes.
An American Diabetes Association Consensus statement covers the management of diabetic foot wounds.

Risk Identification :

Risk Identification is fundamental for effective preventive management of the foot in people with diabetes.The Following foot related risk conditions are associated with an increased risk of amputation :

• Peripheral neuropathy with loss of protective sensation.
• Altered bio mechanics.
• Evidence of increased Pressure (erythema, hemorrhage under a callus)
• Bony Deformity
• Peripheral Vascular disease
• A history of ulcers or amputation
• Severe nail pathology

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) represents several diseases in which high blood glucose levels over time can damage the nerves, kidneys, eyes, and blood vessels.Diabetes can also decrease the body's ability to fight infection. When diabetes is not well controlled, damage to the organs and impairment of the immune system is likely.

Foot Problems commonly develop in people with diabetes and can quickly become serious.

• With damage to the nervous system, a person with diabetes may not be able to feel his or her feet properly.
• Damage to blood vessels and impairment of the immune system from diabetes make it difficult to heal these wounds.Bacterial infection of the skin, connective tissues, muscles, and bones can then occur. These infections can develop into gangrene.Because of the poor blood flow, antibiotics cannot get to the site of the infection easily. Often, the only treatment for this is amputation of the foot or leg. If the infection spreads to the bloodstream, this process can be life-threatening.
• People with diabetes must be fully aware of how to prevent foot problems before they occur, to recognize problems early, and to seek the right treatment when problems do occur. Although treatment for diabetic foot problems has improved, prevention - including good control of blood sugar level - remains the best way to prevent diabetic complications.

Diabetic Foot Care Causes :
Several risk factors increase a person with diabetes chances of developing foot problems and diabetic infections in the legs and feet.

•  Footwear : Poorly fitting shoes are a common cause of diabetic foot problems.
•  If the patient has red spots, sore spots, blisters, corns, calluses, or consistent pain associated with wearing shoes, new properly fitting footwear must be obtained as soon as possible.
• If the patient has common foot abnormalities such as flat feet, bunions, or hammertoes, prescription shoes or shoe inserts may be necessary.
• Nerve Damage : People with long-standing or poorly controlled diabetes are at risk for having damage to the nerves in their feet.The medical term for this is peripheral neuropathy.
• Because of the nerve damage, the patient may be unable to feel their feet normally. Also, they may be unable to sense the position of their feet and toes while walking and balancing. With normal nerves, a person can usually sense if their shoes are rubbing on the feet or if one part of the foot is becoming strained while walking.
• A person with diabetes may not properly sense minor injuries (such as cuts, scrapes, blisters), signs of abnormal wear and tear (that turn into calluses and corns), and foot strain. Normally, people can feel if there is a stone in their shoe, then remove it immediately. A person who has diabetes may not be able to perceive a stone. Its constant rubbing can easily create a sore.
• Poor Circulation : Especially when poorly controlled, diabetes can lead to accelerated hardening of the arteries or atherosclerosis. When blood flow to injured tissues is poor, healing does not occur properly.
• Trauma to the Foot : Any trauma to the foot can increase the risk for a more serious problem to develop.
• Infections : 
• Athlete's Foot , a fungal infection of the skin or toenails, can lead to more serious bacterial infections and should be treated promptly.
• Ingrown Toenails, should be handled right away by a foot specialist. Toenail fungus should also be treated.
• Smoking : Smoking any form of tobacco causes damage to the small blood vessels in the feet and legs. This damage can disrupt the healing process and is a major risk factor for infections and amputations. The importance of smoking cessation cannot be overemphasized.

Diabetic Foot Care Symptoms :

• Persistent pain can be a symptom of sprain, strain, bruise, overuse, improperly fitting shoes, or underlying infection.
• Redness can be a sign of infection, especially when surrounding a wound, or of abnormal rubbing of shoes or socks.
• Swelling of the feet or legs can be a sign of underlying inflammation or infection, improperly fitting shoes, or poor venous circulation. Other signs of poor circulation include the following :
•  Pain in the legs or buttocks that increases with walking but improves with rest (claudication)
• Hair no longer growing on the lower legs and feet  .
• Hard shiny skin on the legs.
• Localized warmth can be a sign of infection or inflammation, perhaps from wounds that won't heal or that heal slowly.
• Any break in the skin is serious and can result from abnormal wear and tear, injury, or infection. Calluses and corns may be a sign of chronic trauma to the foot. Toenail fungus, athlete's foot, and ingrown toenails may lead to more serious bacterial infections.
• Drainage of pus from a wound is usually a sign of infection. Persistent bloody drainage is also a sign of a potentially serious foot problem.
• A limp or difficulty walking can be sign of joint problems, serious infection, or improperly fitting shoes.
• Fever or chills in association with a wound on the foot can be a sign of a limb-threatening or life- threatening infection.
• Red streaking away from a wound or redness spreading out from a wound is a sign of a progressively worsening infection.
• New or lasting numbness in the feet or legs can be a sign of nerve damage from diabetes, which increases a persons risk for leg and foot problems.

Exams and Tests :
Medical evaluation should include a thorough history and physical examination and may also include laboratory tests, x-ray studies of circulation in the legs, and consultation with specialists.

• History and Physical Examination : 1st the doctor will ask the patient questions about their symptoms and will examine them. This should include the patient's vital signs(temperature, pulse, blood pressure, and respiratory rate).
• Laboratory Tests : The doctor may decide to order a complete blood cell count, or CBC, which will assist in determining the presence and severity of infection.The doctor may also check the patient's blood sugar serious infection.
• X-rays : The Doctor may order X-rays studies of the feet or legs to assess for signs of damage to the bones or arthritis, damage from infection, foreign bodies in the soft tissues.
• Ultrasound : The doctor may order Doppler Ultrasound to see the blood flow through the arteries and veins in the lower extremities.The test is not painful and involves the technician moving a non-invasive probe over the blood vessels of the lower extremities.
• Consultation : The doctor may ask a vascular surgeon, orthopedic surgeon, or both to examine the patient.These specialistsare skilled in dealing with diabetic lower extremity infections, bone problems, or circulatory problems.
  

New Treatments :

Several experimental approaches are being evaluated for the treatment of diabetic foot complications. New options include synthetic wound dressings, skin grown in a laboratory, substances that stimulate healing and support the growth of infection-fighting cells, electrical stimulation, and exposure to elevated oxygen levels.

Self Care At Home :

• Foot Examination : Examine your feet daily and also after any trauma, no matter how minor, to your feet. Report any abnormalities to your physician.Use a water-based moisturizer every day to prevent dry skin and Cracking.Wear cotton or wool socks.Avoid Elastic socks and hosiery because they may impair circulation.
• Eliminate Obstacles : Move or remove any items you are likely to trip over or bump your feet on. Keep clutter on the floor picked up. Light the pathways used at night indoors and outdoors.
• Toe nail Trimming : Always cut your nails with a safety clipper, never a scissors. Cut them straight across and leave plenty of room out from the nailed or quick.If you have difficulty with your vision or using your hands, let your doctor do it for you or train a family member how to do it safely.
• Footwear : Wear Sturdy, Comfortable shoes whenever feasible to protect your feet.
• Exercise : Regular exercise will improve bone and joint health in your feet and legs, improve circulation to your legs, and will also help to stabilize your blood sugar levels. Consult your physician prior to beginning any exercise program.
• Smoking : If you smoke any from tobacco, quitting can be one of the best things you can do to prevent problems with your feet. Smoking accelerates damage to blood vessels, especially small blood vessels leading to poor circulation.
• Diabetes Control : Following a reasonable diet, taking your medications, checking your blood sugar regularly, exercising regularly, and maintaining good communication with your physician are essential in keeping your diabetes under control.

Prevention :

Prevention of diabetic foot problems involves a combination of factors.

• Good diabetes control
• Regular leg and foot self-examinations
• Knowledge on how to recognize problems
• Choosing proper footwear
• Regular exercise, if able
• Avoiding injury by keeping footpaths clear

For people with diabetes, foot complications are an ever-present risk. However, it is possible to design a plan for keeping the feet as healthy as possible. It is important to learn as much as possible about diabetic foot care and to take an active role in medical decisions and care. While routine medical exams are important, everyday foot care plays the biggest role in preventing foot complications before they start.

BONE FRACTURE HEALING

Bone Healing Tips

TIPS FOR CURING BONE FRACTURE :

A bone fracture is a medical condition in which there is a break in the continuity of the bone.
A bone fracture can be the result of high force impact or stress, or trivial injury as a result of certain medical conditions that weaken the bones, such as osteoporosis, bone cancer, or osteogenesis imperfecta, where the fracture is then properly termed a pathologic fracture.

Home Remedies for Bone Fracture:

Eat half pineapple every day until it's completely healed. It contains Bromelain, an enzyme that helps to reduce swelling and inflammation. Do not eat canned or processed pineapples. If you don't  like fresh pineapple, take the supplement Bromelain. It has the same effect as pineapple.

It is very important to regain Bone Strength as soon as possible to avoid future injuries and to insure a solid bone fusion. we recommend that you take this.

Do not eat red meat, and avoid drinking colas and all products containing caffeine.

Avoid eating foods with preservatives, they contain Phosphorous which can lead to bone loss.

Take Boron, is important for the health and healing of the bone.

Take Calcium + Magnesium + Potassium.  They are essential to repair bone damage and to maintain a good muscle and heart condition.

Take Zinc, helps repair tissue damage.

Exercise:

 Fracture healing also requires good circulation and an adequate flow of nutrient-replenishing blood to the fracture site — both of which are enhanced by exercise. To avoid stress on the broken bone, exercises that focus on joint loading and range of motion can be employed to accelerate healing and assure return of function post fracture. For example, in the case of a broken forearm, recommended exercises would involve movements of the fingers and hand, as well as the elbow and shoulder joints. Consult a physical therapist about exercise that’s best for you.
  

THE BEST FOODS FOR HEALING BROKEN BONES :
 

According to the Nemours Foundation, the body naturally heals a broken bone on its own.Certain foods can help speed the healing process.
 

BROCCOLI :

Broccoli is one of the best foods to eat for healing a broken bone because it is rich in vitamin K.A cup of broccoli has about 220 mcg of vitamin K .

vitamin K binds with other minerals to help to form bone mass. Vitamin K can speed the healing of a broken bone because it is involved in the process of bone mineralization.

YOGURT:
Amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein, and the mineral calcium can both help to heal broken bones. She states that amino acids found in yogurt, such as lysine and glutamine, increase the absorption of calcium, which enhances bone mass. Additionally, the dietary calcium found in yogurt is essential for healing bones because bones are made up mostly of calcium and phosphorous.

ORANGES:
Eating oranges can have several benefits to those with broken bones.
oranges are rich in vitamin C, which acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, reducing pain while encouraging the growth of new bone mass. Vitamin C can also boost the function of the immune system so that healing comes faster.

MILK:
Milk is a good source of protein, which boosts the immune system and triggers the body to heal itself, according to the Center for Better Bones. In addition to having calcium, milk has other vitamins that are needed for repairing broken bones. The Nemours Foundation states that vitamin D in milk helps to feed bones by increasing the amount of calcium they can absorb.

NUTS AND SEEDS :

Nuts and seeds such as almonds, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, pistachios and walnuts are all rich in calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. Nuts and seeds can also provide doses of vitamins A and C. You might try incorporating these as a snack or as an addition to a salad

SEA VEGETABLES:

 Sea veggies are found to have dense quantities of calcium and magnesium for bone strength.

THIN HAIR TIPS

Thin Hair Tips

How To Deal With Thinning Hair :

Hair loss can result from Heredity, Medical conditions or any number of other reasons.

Today, Men and Women from all walks of life are dealing with thinning hair. While Androgenic Alopecia (Male Pattern Baldness) causes most cases of thinning hair, there are several other factors involved as well, including :

• Androgenic Alopecia (Mostly Affects women)
• Taking Various prescription drugs
• Disorders of the immune system.
• Constant pulling or tension on the hair
• Stress
• Radiation and Chemotherapy treatments
• Poor Nutrition
• Skin Infections 

 Regardless of the cause of your thinning hair, there are a few things that you can try in an attempt to reduce
or stop your hair from thinning out :

1. Don't Comb or brush your hair more often than absolutely necessary. Excessive grooming can cause the individual hairs to come out very easily.
2. Don't use a blow dryer on thinning hair. Heat affects the chemical makeup of our hairs causing them to be less able to resist the tendency to come out. Dry your hair by gently patting it with a soft towel and allow the air to finish the drying process.
3. Don't braid your hair, or use ponytails or cornrows. The tension applied to the hair follicles can cause the hairs to fall out faster than normal which speeds up the thinning hair process.
4. Use one of the many hair restorative shampoos and conditioners that are on the market today. These items are specially formulated with vitamins and nutrients that are proven to reduce the occurrence of thinning hair.
5. If your hair loss is extreme, you can ask your physician about the many pharmaceutical and surgical options that are available today to stop or at least reduce the rate of your thinning hair.

Thinning hair is no longer something that you have no control over. The simple recommendations and medical
breakthroughs described above can help you deal effectively with hair loss.

Find Out The Cause :

Find Out the underlying cause of your hair thinning. Ask a dermatologist to perform a medical exam and analyze your medical history. Hair loss can serve as a warning sign for a variety of diseases, according to

the American academy of Dermatology. Unusual hormone fluctuations can result in hair thinning. Certain

medications, including those for gout, arthritis, high blood pressure, depression and heart disease, may also

cause hair thinning or loss. Blood thinners are known for causing hair loss.

Stop Stressing Out :

Uncontrolled Stress Levels may cause hair thinning and hair loss. Monitor your stress levels by engaging

in deep-breathing exercises or other stress-reduction exercises. Physical activity is a stress reducer,

according to the Mayo Clinic. Exercise can boost your endorphins, or your feel-good signals. Exercise makes sleeping easier and improves your mental outlook. Start jogging, bicycling, running, playing team sports, dancing or walking for 30 minutes at least five days a week. Any type of exercise can reduce stress.Doing yoga or meditation can also provide stress relief. Find a hobby to enjoy such as gardening, sketching or cooking. Reducing your stress level can encourage hair regrowth, according to the Mayo Clinic.

NAIL CARE

Nail Care Tips

Nail Care :
The Nails on the fingers and toes are made of a hard protein called Keratin. The Nails help to protect the fingers and toes from Trauma, and usually do a good job of it under normal circumstances. The average nail takes about 90 days to grow from base to tip. Like hair and skin, Nails will become brittle and weak if subjected to neglect and poor diet.

Why It Is so Hard to Grow and Maintain Gorgeous Nails ?

Nails aren't alive; they are dead (if they were living tissue, they could repair themselves instead of making us do it for them).

If Nails aren't alive, Then How do They Grow ?

Actually, they don't; new cells develop deep under your cuticles and push out the older, dead ones - forming
those flat,hard surfaces we love to pamper and polish.



Want Great looking natural nails without a lot of bother and fuss ? Here's how you do it :
