PERIPHHERAL NEUROPATHY

WHAT IS PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY

Peripheral neuropathy, a result of damage to the nerves located outside of the brain and spinal cord (peripheral nerves), often causes weakness, numbness and pain, usually in the hands and feet. It can also affect other areas and body functions including digestion, urination and circulation.

Symptoms

Every nerve in your peripheral system has a specific function, so symptoms depend on the type of nerves affected. Nerves are classified into:

Sensory nerves that receive sensation, such as temperature, pain, vibration or touch, from the skin

Motor nerves that control muscle movement

Autonomic nerves that control functions such as blood pressure, perspiration, heart rate, digestion and bladder function

Signs and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy might include:

Gradual onset of numbness, prickling or tingling in your feet or hands, which can spread upward into your legs and arms

Sharp, jabbing, throbbing or burning pain

Extreme sensitivity to touch

Pain during activities that shouldn't cause pain, such as pain in your feet when putting weight on them or when they're under a blanket

Lack of coordination and falling

Muscle weakness

Feeling as if you're wearing gloves or socks when you're not

Paralysis if motor nerves are affected

If autonomic nerves are affected, signs and symptoms might include:

Heat intolerance

Excessive sweating or not being able to sweat

Bowel, bladder or digestive problems

Drops in blood pressure, causing dizziness or lightheadedness

KIDNEY STONE

WHAT IS KIDNEY STONE

Urine contains many dissolved minerals and salts. When your urine has high levels of these minerals and salts, you can form stones. Kidney stones can start small but can grow larger in size, even filling the inner hollow structures of the kidney. Some stones stay in the kidney, and do not cause any problems. Sometimes, the kidney stone can travel down the ureter, the tube between the kidney and the bladder. If the stone reaches the bladder, it can be passed out of the body in urine. If the stone becomes lodged in the ureter, it blocks the urine flow from that kidney and causes pain.

OSTEOPOROSIS

WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS

Osteoarthritis, a.k.a. degenerative joint disease (DJD) or wear-and-tear arthritis, occurs when the protective cartilage or cushion between joints wears down over time. It is the most common form of arthritis, affecting millions of people worldwide.

Osteoarthritis most commonly affects joints in the hands, knees, hips, spine, lower back and neck, small joints of the fingers and the bases of the thumb and big toe. Its symptoms often develop slowly and worsen over time. Signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis include join pain, tenderness or stiffness, loss of flexibility, grating sensation and bone spurs. Osteoarthritis is most common in people over 65. Common risk factors include increasing age, obesity, previous joint injury, overuse of the joint, weak thigh muscles, and genes.

COLD SORES

WHAT IS COLD SORES

Cold sores, sometimes called fever blisters, are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days.

Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Cold sores generally are not serious. They usually heal in several days to two weeks.I have the natural medicine to cure it permanently

COPD

WHAT IS COPD

COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs. It's caused by long-term exposure to irritating gases or particulate matter such as cigarette smoke. Symptoms of COPD include breathing difficulty, chest tightness, cough, mucus (sputum) production and wheezing. People with COPD are at increased risk of developing heart disease, lung cancer and a variety of other conditions.

Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are the two most common conditions that contribute to COPD. Emphysema is a condition in which the alveoli at the end of the smallest air passages (bronchioles) of the lungs are destroyed as a result of damaging exposure to cigarette smoke and other irritating gases and particulate matter. Chronic bronchitis is inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from the air sacs (alveoli) of the lungs. It's characterized by daily cough and mucus (sputum) production. Infectious diseases of the lung may damage areas of the lung tissue which also contributes to COPD.

People who smoke are at the highest risk for developing COPD. Other risk factors include exposure to secondhand smoke or air pollution, especially pollution associated with wood or coal. In addition, individuals with airway hyper-responsiveness such as those with chronic asthma are at increased risk. Other factors that may increase the risk for developing COPD include drug use, immune deficiency syndromes, vasculitis syndrome, connective tissue disorders and genetic problems.

TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA

WHAT IS TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA

Trigeminal neuralgia is a rare nerve disorder that affects the face. It causes sudden and severe pain in the face, which people describe as a shooting, electric shock-like pain in the teeth, jaw, gums, and other areas of the face.

Type 2, or TN2, is the atypical form of the disorder and is characterized by a constant pain that people have described as aching, stabbing, and burning at a lower intensity than TN1. A person may experience both types of pain, sometimes at the same time, which can be incapacitating.

Someone with trigeminal neuralgia may have one or more of the following symptoms:

sudden attacks of severe, shooting pain in the face that last between seconds to around 2 minutes

pain affecting one side of the face

excruciating pain in the lower or upper jaw, teeth, or cheek, or — more uncommonly — in the forehead or eye

a sense that an attack of pain is about to happen, although they typically start suddenly

a slight ache or burning sensation after the most severe pain has subsided

regular episodes of facial pain for days, weeks, or months at a time, which may disappear and not return for months or years

Pain attacks in trigeminal neuralgia can be triggered by:

eating

drinking

brushing teeth

talking

wind blowing across the face

touching the face, such as when shaving

CANCER

WHAT IS CANCER

Cancer is a generic term for a large group of diseases that can affect any part of the body. Other terms used are malignant tumours and neoplasms. One defining feature of cancer is the rapid creation of abnormal cells that grow beyond their usual boundaries, and which can then invade adjoining parts of the body and spread to other organs; the latter process is referred to as metastasis. Metastases are the primary cause of death from cancer.

BODY ODOR

WHAT IS BODY ODOR

Body odor is a perceived unpleasant smell our bodies can give off when bacteria that live on the skin break down sweat into acids. Body odor is most likely to occur in our feet, groin, armpits, genitals, pubic hair and other hair, belly button, anus and behind the ears....

People usually wear socks and shoes, making the sweat difficult to evaporate, giving the bacteria more sweat to break down into smelly substances. Moist feet also raise the risk of fungi developing, which can also give off unpleasant smells.

GENITAL HERPES

WHAT IS GENITAL HERPES

CHICKHENPOX

WHAT IS CHICKHENPOX

Chickenpox, also known as varicella, is a highly contagious disease caused by the initial infection with varicella zoster virus (VZV). The disease results in a blister-like rash, which first appears on the face and trunk, and then spreads throughout the body. Although not life-threatening, complications can arise.

Chickenpox is mostly transmitted by contact with the blisters of someone who has the virus or breathing in the virus particles from someone's blisters or mouth. An infected person is contagious about 2 days before the rash appears, and then continues being so for another 5-7 days or until all of the blisters have become scabs.
