The next day you wake up with headache again. This time your headache is tolerable but dull and constant. It's a good thing you bought that medicine yesterday. Better take it before headache gets more painful. If you take two pills instead of one it might even work faster. Sounds like a logical thing to do, right?

Wrong. All you did is blocked pain receptors that are involved in transmitting signals between brain cells. That means headache is still there, your brain just stopped getting signals about it. Instead of treating cause you are treating symptoms.

In addition wildly known over-the-counter medicine like Tylenol and Advil can be really harmful if misused. I was shocked to find out that only 16% of people read label completely. Forty four percent of people (and that's hundreds of millions) read label and knowingly exceed recommended dose. Are you one of those people?

If you experience headache more than two times a day, you've got a problem. Popping painkillers like M&M's may only lead to rebound headaches. When you take same medicine for long period of time your body becomes addicted to it. What happens when medicine wears off? You get an even stronger headache, which forces you to take more medicine...and more medicine...and more medicine...It's a vicious circle.

Diabetes can affect muscles and joints of your hands.

When you hear about complications of diabetes, you usually hear about your heart, eyes, kidneys, nerves, and feet. But diabetes can affect muscles and joints of your hands, too.

Diabetes related hand conditions are usually not life-threatening, but they can have a great impact on quality of your life.

Poor blood sugar control is thought to play a major role in diabetes-related musculoskeletal disorders of hands. The theory is that high blood sugars change amount and character of protein and collagen in your tissues, leading to damage of small blood vessels.
