Changes just before menopause sets in

Blogged under General Health by Linda Lithony on Saturday 11 October 2008 at 6:11 am

There are often changes just before menopause sets in. This period is called perimenopause. It is the beginning of the major hormonal changes that will make a woman’s life more difficult until it settles down. It is the stage when hot flashes, emotional turmoil and night sweats are daily events. This will continue until the hormonal changes are completed. During this stage headaches are usually worse. Beware if hormonal replacement therapy is suggested, especially if you are already a headache, or more specifically, a migraine sufferer. Hormonal replacement therapy, also known as HRT, is known to make migraines much worse. Do not let doctors push you into this if you have worries about headache pain. As well, some studies have shown that there are medical issues related to hormonal replacement therapy that need to be researched before you accept your health care provider’s recommendation to begin this medical intervention. remedy

Blogged under General Health by Linda Lithony on Tuesday 7 October 2008 at 7:06 am

A new version of Vertebroplasty, Kyphoplasty actually realigns the kyphosis of fractured vertebra before injecting the bone filler. Kyphoplasty uses a balloon to make a void where the damaged part of vetebra is so the bone filler can be injected correctly and to its optimum ability. Take note. If you do suffer with back pain there may be an underlying problem that needs medical attention. It may be that you have damage to your bone or muscular structure you are unaware of, if you visit a doctor you may find a simple solution or you may need to have a surgical procedure to correct the issue and alleviate your pain.

If you are feeling very uncomfortable about an impending surgery, talk to your consultant who will be able to explain the full procedure to you. pain
