medical information for their own use. You will learn some anatomy and

anatomy and physiology. It will help you understand what you are going
through and what your doctor is talking about. ANATOMY is the study,
classification, and description of structures and organs of the body.

Frustration About The Limited Discussion
During A Doctor's Visit
It is
difficult these days to be a patient or a doctor. Doctors are
human, just as you and I are. They have time limitations that we
could never dream of, and the stress of having to deal with some
patients that cannot be helped. What we have tried to do is give
you some ideas on how to make the visit to the doctors office as quick
and informative as possible, for both of you.
Wondering About Symptoms You Can't Explain?
For many
people, the side effects from the drugs you are taking are not a serious
problem. Introducing another chemical into your body is not part of the
body's original composition and the body has ways of getting rid of
things it doesn't like or reacting to things it can't get rid of.
This may cause unusual symptoms that can be very frightening. This
article attempts to explain some of these interactions and what you
should be doing if this is happening to you.
Reflecting On Chemicals Going Into Your
Body. Some of These May Be Behind Your Meniere's Disease Symptoms.
What we don't
seem to get is that any kind of chemical might be a problem. And that
could include your medications! This article will help you to
learn and recognize that chemicals come in many different forms and
different disguises. Your body has its own set, and anything you
want to add must be in "sync" with its needs. Chemicals can easily enter
your body via the mouth, nose, ears, skin, and eyes, even your
hair shaft. But they are still entering your body.
Sunscreens - Lots Of Important And Interesting Information
The sun is
natural and our bodies are natural, so why are we having a conflict?
What's the big "to do" about sun protection? If you know of anyone who
is allergic to the sun, you will know how inconvenient and awkward it is
to stay out of it at all costs. So sun protection becomes important. We
want to enjoy the sun and its benefits, but not have the harmful
effects. This article is going to give you some very basic, and helpful
information.
Headaches (Or Head Aches) and Meniere's
Disease ...Why?
We think in
terms of headaches, but in reality, we mean something is hurting our
brain. If you meant any other parts of the head, you would mention it by
its correct name. An earache, a toothache, a sinus or nose problem,
dizziness,
deafness. Here we are dealing the brain:
the major structure of the head, and how it can ache.
Why Do
We Have To Be Healthy?
I received this unusual question a while ago and though
it might make an interested in this thought-provoking idea as well as
being an interesting article. Why should we be healthy? What
is the opposite or alternative? The word “health” encompasses several
parts of your being: physical, mental, social. Lives change, and
so does your thinking when you face illness with a close family member.
Suddenly you realize they have “become” sick. That’s an action word: not
just a thing. And this is happening, right now and you wish you could
stop it. But you don’t have any idea where to start. Our medical
community is still not inclined to teach prevention as opposed to
treatment.
Hormones and How
They Work Within the Human Body
Hormones are chemical messengers. Most go directly into your
bloodstream. Their job is to regulate your body’s activities and its
chemistry: hence the messenger role term. It is important to remember
that all of these hormones work in unison and interact. Nothing in your
body works in isolation.
Personal Infection Control - Making Sure You Are
Healthy Enough To Withstand Unhealthy Conditions.
Infection control may seem to be out of place on a
Meniere's Disease website, but if you are suffering from Meniere's
Disease, the last thing you need is to be down with a head cold on top
of the sinus pressure, vertigo and stress you are already under.
There are many unrecognized and potentially-infectious situations. Many
times you are exposed to them and don't even know it. But if you suspect
something, your choices are to be proactive or to be reactive.
Prevention or treatment. Personally I think prevention is healthier,
less painful and more cost effective.
To keep from getting sicker, you may want to take some preventative
measures. You will need to recognize a possible risk. And if you are
exposed you would want to know how you could protect yourself and keep
from getting sick. To start this learning process, you need to know what
is in place right now to protect you.
We hope that through this article we will inform you of the potential
threats out there and how to avoid them.
