Absence in the Blogosphere due to Migraine

Do you have a Migraine? if none, never ever dream from this kind of sickness. It is a terrible one, I tell you. I had again a Migraine last Thursday night until yesterday. I am feeling better last night. Thanks goodness! Now I am kickin' again in the blogosphere..not that much but I am happy to see you here again. Last Friday my migraine went worst because I vomited three times and I felt so tired the whole day. It was really terrible that I want to stay all the time in a dark room with my eyes closed and I don't want to hear any noise even talking to my husband. I want completely a noise-free and light-free environment.

When migraine attacks me, the pain is always in the left side of my head including my left eye. When it is very bad, I always feel that my left eye want to come out. Sometimes after I vomit, I felt better..sometimes not. When it is not too bad, I am only taking pain killers like Ibuprofen before it get worst. Sometimes it works sometimes not. When this happened, I am forced to take migraine tablets but sometimes it also doesn't work. The best remedy when I am totally run out of energy is to have an injection in our house doctor.

I can't give you an exact cause for a migraine, my doctor can't even explained it to me. I had already undergone CT scan twice and I am happy that they found nothing in it. Is it because of hormonal problems, changing of weather? I can tell you sometimes when I smell cigarette smokes, my migraine triggers or when I have my monthly visitor. To give you some information about migraine, I consulted my dear friend online, Wikipedia...so have fun reading! Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

What is Migraine?

Migraine is a neurological syndrome characterized by altered bodily perceptions, headaches, and nausea. Physiologically, the migraine headache is a neurological condition more common to women than to men. Etymologically, the French word migraine derives from the Greek hemicrania (half skull) and the Old English megrim (severe headache).

The typical migraine headache is unilateral and pulsating, lasting from 4 to 72 hours; symptoms include nausea, vomiting, photophobia (increased sensitivity to bright light), and hyperacusis (increased sensitivity to noise); approximately one third of people who suffer migraine headache perceive an aura — visual, olfactory — announcing the headache.

(featuring Initial treatment is with analgesics for the head-ache, an anti-emetic for the nausea, and the avoidance of triggering conditions. The cause of migraine headache is unknown; the accepted theory is a disorder of the serotonergic control system, as PET scan has demonstrated the aura coincides with diffusion of cortical depression consequent to increased blood flow (up to 300% greater than baseline). There are migraine headache variants, some originate in the brainstemintercellular transport dysfunction of calcium and potassium ions) and some are genetically disposed. Studies of twins indicate a 60 to 65 per cent genetic influence upon their developing propensity to migraine headache. Moreover, fluctuating hormone levels indicate a migraine relation: 75 percent of adult patients are women, although migraine affects approximately equal numbers of prepubescent boys and girls; propensity to migraine headache is known to disappear during pregnancy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migraine

Are You Wasting Money on Multivitamins?

This only serves as General Information. ...Continue to read if you want to know more. Who knows this might cause you to save some money and avoiding the side effects of taking vitamins...Have a great day to all!!

Message: Are You Wasting Money on Multivitamins?

Advertisements with tantalizing promises of improved health, prevention of cancer and heart disease, and greater energy have lured millions of Americans to spend billions of dollars on the purchase of multivitamins.

An article in the February 9 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine reported that multivitamin use did not protect the 161,808 postmenopausal women enrolled in the Women's Health Initiative Study from common forms of cancer, heart attacks, or strokes. And the numbers of deaths during the 8 years of the study were the same in vitamin users as in non-users. Still, it is important to recognize that this was an observational study, not a more meaningful clinical trial. Although these findings apply only to women, other studies have failed to show benefits of multivitamins in older men.

These results are not at all surprising for several reasons. No large study has shown that multivitamins significantly benefit healthy men and women. In addition, for some years physicians prescribed folic acid and vitamins B12 and B6 in the hopes of preventing heart attacks and strokes by lowering blood levels of homocysteine. (High blood levels of homocysteine are associated with an increased risk of coronary and other vascular diseases.) A number of recent studies, however, have shown that, while these vitamins do lower homocysteine levels, they do not prevent heart attacks or strokes.

Many doctors have also prescribed the antioxidants vitamin E and beta-carotene to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Alas, studies have now proven that these supplements are not protective--and may even be harmful.

No one denies that an adequate intake of vitamins is essential; however, vitamins can and should be obtained from eating enough healthy foods rather than from swallowing vitamin supplements.
Then what about vitamins being a great source of energy? Some multivitamin ads do indeed claim that their supplements boost energy; and some professional athletes gobble handfuls of vitamin pills to increase their energy and strength. But researchers proved long ago that energy comes from calories, not vitamins. The highly touted cholesterol-lowering effects of substances added to some multivitamin supplements? Still unproven.

All this is not to say that specific vitamins supplements are never desirable. Vitamins can be valuable in certain situations:

* Folic acid supplements in women who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant can help to prevent serious neural-tube defects that affect the baby's brain and spine.
* Supplements that contain more vitamin D and calcium than is present in regular multivitamin pills can help older men, and especially women, avoid osteoporosis and bone fractures.
* Supplements of vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, zinc, and copper may slow the progression of vision loss in people with early macular degeneration.
And multivitamins are beneficial for some entire groups of people:
* those on a very-low-calorie weight-loss diet
* strict vegetarians
* heavy alcohol drinkers
* individuals who are not getting an adequate diet because they are too sick or too poor--or live by themselves and are unable to prepare proper meals for themselves
I also agree with a comment made by one of the coauthors of the Archives of Internal Medicine article about postmenopausal women mentioned above. An 8-year follow-up period may not be long enough to show that multivitamins protect against cancers that take many years to develop.
All the same, the results of the studies on vitamins so far point to one conclusion: Healthy people who eat enough calories from a varied diet do not benefit from multivitamin supplements.

Avoid Static Cling

Are you having a static cling? I am having this all the times. I remember when I was in Las Vegas last year wherein I always got static clings. I don't know if it is because I always walked on carpeted floors in the hotels there. I even feel bad about it sometimes especially when I draw near to metals and I feel like having an electric shock!! shocking huh!! see this tip below..hope this will help!!

To fight off static cling, keep a dryer sheet in your purse and rub it on the underside of your skirt or pantyhose.

Look Beautiful During A Christmas Party

As we all know there are a lot of parties going on on or before Christmas. It might be a Christmas party with your colleagues, family, friends, groups or simply a party in your home. Last night I should attend a Filipino Party in Neumarkt but due to some sort of migraine attack, I chose to stay home. I don't want to drive with migraine anyway. This topic now is especially for women...sorry guys! Do you always look beautiful when you go to a party? Are you using Natural Skin Care products when applying make-ups?

After I talked to a friend yesterday, she told me not to stay too much in front of the mirror doing my make-up. I told her I will try but I just want to always look at least presentable when going to a party. I thought my migraine will be gone in the afternoon so that I can attend the party. Pity for me! I always wanted to use Natural Skin Care Products to always keep my face and skin healthy, natural and of course beautiful..like the picture in my header...wink! Oh yes, that was me!

I always tried to look for Organic Skin Care Products. I already know that this kind of products are really good. The problem is that I don't know the exact brand. I finally found it now. Astara Skin Care are also use by famous individuals like Liv Tyler, Daniel Craig, Karolina Kurkova, Mel Gibson and a lot more. I don't mean that I want to be like them. I just wanted to maintain my healthy and beautiful skin as possible. I have to visit again this site for more details. Lastly, I should look beautiful and presentable in the Christmas party on Thursday!! I am quite excited already!! Merry Christmas and stay always beautiful girls!!

Genetic basis for some birth defects found

I guess, this is a good info for all women out there especially to all Mother!! keep reading to find it out!! have a great day!!

Genetic basis for some birth defects found
Copyright 2008 by United Press International

CLEVELAND (UPI) -- U.S. medical researchers report they have determined the genetic basis for some birth defects that affect the development of the heart and head.

A multidisciplinary team led by Case Western Reserve University Professor Gary Landreth discovered a common genetic pathway for a number of birth defects such as abnormal development of the jaw, palate and brain.

The researchers said they developed a mouse model of the disorders by removing a gene, ERK2, responsible for the pathway. The scientists, in collaboration with Dr. William Snider at the University of North Carolina, discovered the mice missing the gene for ERK2 in neural crest cells had developmental defects resembling those of human patients with a deletion that includes that gene.

Landreth, with Case Western Associate Professor Michiko Watanabe, found the mouse hearts had characteristic defects resembling those seen in the patients with ERK2 deletions.

"Given Dr. Watanabe's findings, we determined that we had in fact developed animal models that mimicked the human deletion syndrome," said Landreth. "This work sheds light on how these developmental errors occur."

The research that included Dr. Sulagna Saitta at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia appears in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.

The Importance of Health Insurance

You might not know the importance of having a health insurance until you are hospitalized and have big hospital bills. I already have some experience about it. The first one was when my husband had an accident last year and was operated in his right ankle and the second one was when my Mother was confined in the Intensive Care Unit of the hospital. I am just thankful that everything just went smoothly with my husband's operation and he is back to work now and my Mother was also given another chance in her life after a 50-50 chance struggle due to complicated sickness. Most of all Thanks to God and the health insurance company who paid the bills. If you need a health insurance, just visit NC health insurance. Protect your family from life's uncertainty..Get one now!! I wish you a nice weekend!! It's TGIF again!!

My Life and How To Lose Weight!!

Since two years ago, my computer has been my bestfriend. Do you know why?? because I spend most of the time in front of my PC. That is getting worst now since I start blogging. I think I can't live without my computer anymore..Sounds funny huh??But yes, it's true that I stay in front of my pc most of the time. Well, it doesn't mean that I don't have friends. I have some good friends here in Germany, to count maybe are 2 or 3 persons. Unlike in the Philippines, I got hundreds of friends. Sometimes, I can only contact my friends and former classmates online like in Friendster. Life here in Europe is just different compared to Philippines. You even don't know your neighbors here. Honestly speaking, I only knew not even a dozen names of my neighbors here in Germany . Imagine I already live here for more than five years now and I only know maybe around 10 names of my neighbors.

That is why, I am talking and writing all the time in my computer. I am just thankful that we have this technology now or else my life can be very boring. Thanks to the power of internet where we can stay connected with our family, former classmates, and friends anywhere around the world.

Well because I am always stuck in front of my pc, browsing, surfing, writing and updating my blogs all the time.

As I was in U.S., I was amazed by this person because he have lots of Diet Pills Supplements in his office. He said he used them before and it was proven to be effective.
