Zyprexa and HyperglycemiaWritten by S.Burns
Hyperglycemia is a rise of glucose (concentration of sugar) in one’s bloodstream. The material is created through digestion of carbohydrates. Cells in body combine glucose with blood oxygen to stimulate all cell processes. Insulin is a hormone secreted through pancreas that extracts sugar from blood and moves it into cells. When body becomes resistant to insulin it can’t extract sugar and causes hyperglycemia.This condition is most often seen in patients with diabetes mellitus type II. When hyperglycemia progresses it can create severe dehydration
| | FibromyalgiaWritten by Dr. Michael L. Johnson
Fibromyalgia is a form of generalized muscular pain and fatigue that affects approximately 3.7 million Americans. The name fibromyalgia means pain in muscles and fibrous connective tissues (the ligaments and tendons). Fibromyalgia lacks laboratory abnormalities; instead, diagnosis depends mostly on a person’s report or complaints and feelings. Pain is most prominent symptom of fibromyalgia. It generally occurs throughout body, although it may start in one region, such as neck and shoulders, and spread to other areas over a period of time. A majority of people with fibromyalgia experience moderate or severe fatigue with lack of energy, decreased exercise endurance, or kind of exhaustion that results from flu or lack of sleep. Sometimes fatigue is more of a problem than pain. Headaches, especially muscular (tension headaches) and migraine headaches, are common in fibromyalgia. Abdominal pain, bloating and alternating constipation and bladder spasms and irritability may cause urinary urgency or frequency. A person's skin and blood circulation can be sensitive to temperature changes, resulting in temporary changes in skin color. As a Board Certified Chiropractic Neurologist, I take a different approach to treatment and prevention of fibromyalgia. After a thorough neurological exam, I determine which part of nervous system is not functioning properly. In many fibromyalgia patients I may find a high mesencephalic output.
