    Fibromyalgia

    Fibromyalgia is a common condition characterized by long-term, body-wide pain and tender points in joints, muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues. Fibromyalgia has also been linked to fatigue, morning stiffness, sleep problems, headaches, numbness in hands and feet, depression, and anxiety.

    Fibromyalgia can develop on its own or along with other musculoskeletal conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.

    Causes, incidence, and risk factors

    The cause of this disorder is unknown. Physical or emotional trauma may play a role in development of the syndrome. Some evidence suggests that fibromyalgia patients have abnormal pain transmission responses.

    It has been suggested that sleep disturbances, which are common in fibromyalgia patients, may actually cause the condition. Another theory suggests that the disorder may be associated with changes in skeletal muscle metabolism, possibly caused by decreased blood flow, which could cause chronic fatigue and weakness.

    Others have suggested that an infectious microbe, such as a virus, triggers the illness. At this point, no such virus or microbe has been identified.

    Pilot studies have shown a possible inherited tendency toward the disease, though evidence is very preliminary.

    The disorder has an increased frequency among women 20 to 50 years old. The prevalence of the disease has been estimated between 0.7% and 13% for women, and between 0.2% and 3.9% for men.

    Symptoms

    The overwhelming characteristic of fibromyalgia is long-standing, body-wide pain with defined tender points. Tender points are distinct from trigger points seen in other pain syndromes. Unlike tender points, trigger points can occur in isolation and represent a source of radiating pain, even in the absence of direct pressure.

    Fibromyalgia pain can mimic the pain that occurs with various types of arthritis. However, the significant swelling, destruction, and deformity of joints seen in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis does not occur with fibromyalgia syndrome alone.

    The soft-tissue pain of fibromyalgia is described as deep-aching, radiating, gnawing, shooting or burning, and ranges from mild to severe. Fibromyalgia sufferers tend to wake up with body aches and stiffness.

    For some patients, pain improves during the day and increases again during the evening, though many patients with fibromyalgia have day-long, unrelenting pain. Pain can increase with activity, cold or damp weather, anxiety, and stress.

    Specific symptoms:

    • Multiple tender areas (muscle and joint pain) on the back of the neck, shoulders, sternum, lower back, hips, shins, elbows, knees.
    • Fatigue
    • Sleep disturbances
    • Body Aches
    • Reduced Exercise tolerance
    • Chronic facial muscle pain or aching

  • Proven Eczema Treatment...this may help your child!

      If your child is suffering, I have some information that WILL help you!  Look no further....we'll show you the results!

    What is eczema?

    • Eczema is the commonest itchy rash in childhood.
    • Onset:
      • It starts at about 2-3 months of age usually.
    • Characteristics:
      • It may range from local erythematous scaly rash, to extensive weeping bleeding lesion.
      • It is very itchy, and it can make the child so irritable that sleep, emotional and behaviour states may be disturbed.
      • If there is super-infection, it may cause exacerbations in otherwise quiescent lesions.
    • Distribution:
      • Characteristically involves different parts of the body at different ages.
      • At 2-3 months, it usually involves the face, sternal area, nappy area, extensor surfaces of elbow and knees.
      • For toddlers, it involves the neck, flexural surface of elbow, knee and ankle joints.
      • For older children, it usually involves the palm, foot, flexural surfaces of limbs.

     

     

     

     

      

    What are the causes of eczema?

    • Eczema has genetic predisposition, as well as environmental factors(allergens). The child usually has other allergic disease, like asthma, allergic rhinitis or urticaria.
    • Environmental factors include food and contact allergens, common ones are:-
      • milk or egg protein,...
      • woolen clothing, detergent or additives,...
      • food like peanuts, food additives,...
      • animal like cats, dogs, rabbit....

    How to manage a child with eczema?

    • Usually, one has to see a doctor to make sure it is eczema, because there are many other conditions that look very similar:
      • Seborrhoeic dermatitis
      • Contact dermatitis
      • Fungal dermatitis
      • Psoriasis
      • Insect bites
      • Scabies
    • The most important thing is to avoid the allergens, if known. Of course, it is easier said than done.
    • Doctor's treatment is usually supportive:-
      • cold tar, emulsifying ointment
      • weakest strength of steroid application
      • antihistamine, (scratching makes it worst)
      • topical or oral antibiotics for bacterial exacerbations
    • Prognosis is good:- 
      • 70% recovered at 2-5 years of age
      • 15% mild eczema persist to adulthood
      • 15% more difficult course
