It does not matter what my real name is and what is my age exactly. What I am about to tell is one of the most extreme experiences I had ever gone thorough and it represents indeed an important lesson others should pay attention to. After being happily married for three years, my husband and I decided we should try and have a baby. Almost at the same time when we took that decision, I started to feel a strong pain in the cervical region and found out I suffered from spondylitis, a condition given by vertebral joint inflammation and usually manifested through pain and local stiffness. The doctor recommended I followed a treatment plan with Tramadol, a synthetic opioid pain reliever, and do plenty of exercise.

Treating Men and Women Hair Thinning

Testosterone plays a key part in the production of hair follicles, and for this reason, too much sex will lead to alopecia. Often times, many men or women will notice a change in their scalp when they don't really have any genetic factors for balding. Eating a less nutritious diet and succumbing to too much stress can also lead to this condition.

It is advised that such a person take hair supplements, meaning, natural and organic vitamins that will assist in hair growth. Individuals should check ayurvedic drugs including HairOMax, which has received wide spread acclaim for its medicinal properties. Also, check for other supplements like Zinc and Collagen, which are known to boost hair growth. It won't take a considerable amount of time for the lost hair follicles to grow back, but do keep in mind that you should limit sexual experiences.

There have been cases where individuals have seen great results in a one year span. The overall scalp of a patient was thinning at about 80%, but when the vitamins stated above were administered to him/her, they saw a big increase in follicle levels. Keep in mind that all natural vitamins aren't synthetic, and such drugs could boost a long energetic lifestyle.

Nutrition Supplements
1. Zinc
2. Arginine
3. Collagen

Other Medications - For People With Genetic Hair Balding (Alopecia)
1. Propecia - www.propecia.com
2. Rogaine - www.rogaine.com
3. Bosley - www.bosley.com

Laser surgery isn't the most effective, as all implanted hairs have a tendency to thin. Only choose this option if your hair follicles have stopped thinning and are in the growth process.

He searched the internet for solutions and came across various treatments. Together we explored almost all of the available options such as, Hair Club for Men, Rogain, Propecia, hair transplants you name it. Below I will go into further detail about what we found out about treatments, the costs & the effectiveness.

         What happened at Hair Club for Men?

Our visit.

My husband and I visited Hair Club for Men for a free consultaion, they had an office close by and we thought what the heck. After the assesment they offered us a package of hair care products to use for X amount of time. While using these products you are to be reassesed peridically where they take photos and what not for your personal file. Then after so much time has passed they give a prescrption for Propecia. I can't remember exactly what the membership cost was but after a student discount and the "if you accept today" discount I believe it was somewhere in the ballpark of $1200.00-$1500.00 plus monthly fees for product. (The cost of Propecia is additional $70.00 per month) My husband was so caught up in the idea of his hair growing back that he accepted. I left with a knot in my stomach....we didn't have that kind of money to spend on hair. I don't doubt that their formula works, I just can't afford it. If you ask me, when you buy the membership you are not only paying for the product, you are also paying for their infomercials and fancy office buildings etc. Thats just my opinion. Hair Club for Men also offers other solutions which all depend on your analysis that consists of viewing your scalp under a microscope on a tv monitor.

Nioxin

What is Nioxin?

After returning home with a knot in my stomach I called my mother who I should mention is a licensed cosmetologist to tell her what we had done. She recommended to us NIOXIN. "What is Nioxin?", I asked her. Nioxin is a product used to grow and maintain thinning hair. There are eight different NIOXIN® Scalp and Hair Care Systems designed to help improve the appearance of thinning hair.

Use this link to find your hair type. http://www.nioxin.com/en/assess-my-needs Nioxin works the same way as Hair Club for Men products. After speaking with my mom, I read the fine print on the contract and found a 3 day return policy. I went to the supply store and bought the Nioxin system and compared the ingredients in both the cleanser, conditioner, folicle booster and the vitamins. Low and behold they are the same, the treatment regimen...the same. I was so excited to share this news of great savings and full hair to my husband. The next day he returned to Hair Club for Men for a refund.

The Nioxin system consists of 5 major parts, Cleanser, Scalp Therapy, Scalp Treatment, Follicle Booster and Intensive Therapy Recharging Complex (a dietary supplement) In order to see results you must first be patient, I can not say this enough and second YOU MUST USE THIS PRODUCT CONSISTANTLY FOLLOWING ALL DIRECTIONS, if you stop the treatment it will stop working for you. Results may not be noticable for up to 6 months. This is also about how long it took for my husband to see real results.

Dealing with Fibromyalgia

         Buy Cialis Online Part 1

Creating your account

Step 1 is simple, they ask for your email address name and phone number, and a password. This is pretty standard stuff for ordering anything online. Now, you need to scroll down a bit to continue the process. A note on emails, I've since given my email and I've never had a spam email sent to me from them in the last couple of years. However they do send 3 emails each time I order.

1. An order confirmation email
2. An email letting me know my credit card was billed, or once when I actually switched to a new credit card, that it was declined with some instructions.
3. An email with my tracking numbers and an explanation of how to track my package online.

Also they often will email you specifically if there is an issue, like a declined credit card or issues with your medical profile. If you put in a fake email I would imagine you just won't get notified of anything.

Buying Cialis Online Part 1 Section 2

Filling Out The Medical Profile

Now, once you scroll down, you'll see some personal information thats required. Your name birthdate etc... Fill them out they are pretty self explanatory. The next portion is yes or no answers. If you choose yes for any of them, then elaborate. For example, if you have a heart condition, but your doctor has approved your use of generic viagra, then its probably relevant you put both of those things down. You might further expect one of the doctors to call you and your doctor for verification.

Read the terms and conditions. Mark that you have read them and continue. If you don't mark the checkbox, you can't place your order.

I also have marked down that I wan't to hear about promotions. These so far have not been a pile of endless spam email. I get about 2-3 offers a year, There is normally a spring time sale or bonus. Something around Christmas. These Promotions are only for existing customers and only available to those who sign up for it.There are no other catches or clauses. They just email you a month or so before a discount to let you know.

Payment Details Page Help

Step 2 is even easier, the question how did you hear about us I'll come back to at the end of this article. First they show you an order summary with your totals.

Delivery Address

Skip to delivery address and put in your mailing address or where you want to pick up your medication, I prefer my office and not my house, So I would put my office address here. Now, this isn't the same as my billing address, so I need to mark that down when I'm filling in my Payment Information.

Payment Information

In this section you simply put in the information of the VISA or Mastercard you wish to use. The only trick here is making sure you have the correct billing address. Also for those of you who don't know CVV2 is the 3 digit number on the back of your credit card. Just flip it over, look for your card number and then the numbers AFTER the card number, not just the end of it. So it would look like this: XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 123 on the back. the 123 is the CVV2.

By Default the Use my delivery address is checked, so make sure you uncheck it if you need to, and then fill it out.

Changing Your Billing Address if Required

In my case my home address. Once that's done simply click Place Order and you are done. You'll get a confirmation screen that will give you all your account information for you to double check.

What is Meniere's Disease? Is it as hopeless as people think?

I have lived with Meniere's Disease since 1996, but since 2002 I've been symptom free. There are very good reasons for that. I hope if you are reading this and you either have Meniere's yourself or someone you care about has it, this will give you some hope and helpful information.

You can read my own story in full here:menieres-help.com

What helped me beat Meniere's Disease

Listen to how I was able to live symptom free after years of vertigo and dizziness. I was sceptical about this but it certainly worked for me....if you want to know more about the system of supplements I take, go to: Menieres-Help.Com/System.php

         What Is Meniere's Disease?

Firstly this condition is not technically a disease as such. It is what is known as an 'idiopathic' condition. A medical dictionary would define this as 'self originated' or of an 'unknown cause'. Basically they do not know what causes it. But it is a degenerative condition, meaning it gets worse with time.

It is a disorder of the inner ear, where it is believed that a build up of fluid puts pressure on the hearing and balance nerves. The fluid gathers in the 'endolymphatic sac' at the end of the labyrinth that is the inner ear. The sac balloons, which results in the pressure on the nerves. You may hear this referred to as 'endolymphatic hydrops'. Experts think that the sac ruptures, causing two inner ear fluids that should be kept separate to mix, causing the worst symptoms of Meniere's.

This is what they "believe" happens, but there is no way for sure to find out as this part of the ear is impossible to see.
The theories as to the cause of Meniere's and the focus of scientific investigation include possibilities such as noise pollution, viral infections, middle ear infections, head injuries, syphilis, bacterial infections, stress, fatigue, alcohol, smoking and allergies. None of these have been clinically proven yet.

There are many other possible 'triggers' that seem to have a common theme among sufferers. (see the 'Triggers and what to do about them' page)

What does all this mean for the actual sufferer? Well, this condition is not fatal, nor is it contagious. It is a chronic condition however. It seems to affect everyone slightly differently and can range from troublesome at best to totally debilitating and terrifying at worst. Some people only experience one or two symptoms; others the whole lot.
If there is such a thing, classic symptoms of Meniere's include: fullness in the ear, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), dizziness, vertigo (shocking abnormal sense of movement, usually spinning uncontrollably) and hearing loss.

Meniere's sufferers will talk about brain fog, disorientation, confusion, inability to concentrate, sudden exhaustion, light sensitivity and noise sensitivity. It is a very lonely condition to have to live with and can lead to depression and a sense of hopelessness.

A bout of vertigo can lead to severe exhaustion and the sufferer can be incapacitated for the rest of the day afterwards, sometimes longer. This makes holding down a job very difficult and people often find themselves having to give up work altogether. Some are even afraid to go out of the house alone for fear of what may happen. Even the lights and aisles of the supermarket may spark attacks. It is a miserable existence.

Anybody can get Meniere's, male or female, young children to old age pensioners.

Existing treatments vary from drugs like antihistamines, anticholinergics, sedatives, anti-emetic agents, diazapam or diuretics, to surgery like endolymphatic shunt implants, vestibular nerve sections and various steroid injections into the ear. All of these are designed to relieve symptoms. They are not cures. They do not tackle the root cause.

The beginning of my story of Meniere's Disease

5 years ago I was in a slight car accident. I was hit from behind. My neck snapped a little and I was feeling woozy. The ambulance came and took me to the hospital. As I was being driven there I became very nauseous and began throwing up. The EMT were baffled because that type of accident usually doesn't result in someone throwing up. This continued while I was at the hospital. I was released and sent home.

Two weeks later I was driving home in the evening as I turned into the driveway I became very dizzy and sick to my stomach. My wife worried that I was having a heart attack. I wasn't, I was having my first Meniere's attack.

I went to an ENT the following week and he tested my hearing and suggested what my problem might be. It was either vertigo or a rare disease called Meniere's. Which he described as a category that doctors put patients who have problems with their balance but don't have vertigo.

Well, I was tested for vertigo and I didn't have it.

So, my journey with Meniere's began.

Tried the low sodium diet, the diuretics and the balance exercises....

After the initial diagnosis of Meniere's disease I went on the low sodium diet which at first seemed to help but then stopped. I was also put on a diuretic, which makes you go to the bathroom many times a day. Didn't help. I was given exercises to help with my balance, like the sodium diet it seemed to help but in the end I was still getting sick.

Difficult times became worse

It seemed like every day I was having an attack. On the good days I would take my antivert and within an hour the spinning would go away. But on the bad days, the spinning would be intense, I would become nauseous and I would start to throw up.
The sweat would be pouring off me and i would usually end up on the floor. Unfortunately, most of the severe attacks happened at work. On 5 different occasions the EMTs would have to wheel me out of the place I work to an ambulance then to the emergency room. It was very embarassing.

Finally I went to my ENT and told him that I had to do something because this was making life unbearable especially for my six year old son who had to see his daddy this way.
He recommended a specialist who only dealt with inner ear problems.

Hoping the new treatment will work...

My new doctor was a well known inner ear specialist in Atlanta. From what I read about him he was on the leading edge of all things dealing with the inner ear, such as tinnitus and Meniere's disease.
At first he suggested the Meniett device, a relatively new device that blows pressure in your ear and supposedly lessens the chances of having an attack. Unfortunately the device is so new that the insurance companies don't cover it.
The next step was the gentamicin injections, a procedure that I describe later in this lens. I would get 4 injections total with the injections being spaced out every 2 weeks.
At this point I was ready for anything but the attacks were still coming.

The gentamicin injections

Gentamicin injections are given to Meniere's patients to kill the balance hairs in the inner ear; these hairs send signals to the brain about your balance. The injections are given in the ear that has the Meniere's disease. (Ask your doctor about how he determines which ear is bad. In my case the ear that I had the most hearing loss was treated)

I was given 4 injections over the course of eight weeks. Although my doctor told me there would be little pain, the procedure seemed very painful to me and I felt dizzy after each session.
When all the injections were given, I felt like I had made great progress. The dizzy spells were almost gone and I felt pretty good. But that didn't last long.

Suffering from Arthritis pain - Try Ultracet: minimum side effects, maximum relief !!

Arthritis is one of the most common afflictions found worldwide and generally affecting external body organs. NSAIDs have been traditionally used in Arthritis treatment but with major side effects. Tramadol (Ultracet) is the latest recommendation for treating Arthritis.

Arthritis is really painful so act before it becomes unbearable!! 

What is Arthritis (Joint inflammation)?
Arthritis or Joint Inflammation is irritation of bone joints (connection point of two bones) that cause aching in joints, bulging and restricts patient's movement. Generally predominant in women and elderly population, Arthritis can affect anyone and according to latest reports, there are supposedly more than 50 million Americans afflicted by this condition.

What actually happens in Arthritis?
Arthritis basically affects the cartilage present between two bones. Cartilage is the tissue present between all bone joints that helps bone movement. Cartilage also acts as shock absorbent between bones when the body is involved in functions that put pressure on it. Lack or reduction of normal amount of cartilage causes grinding of bones, which leads to aching, swelling and stiffness of joints.

What are the causes and symptoms of Arthritis?
Arthritis can be caused by a number of reasons like breaking of bone; Abrasion of joint due to age or sustained pressure, Bacterial/Viral Infection or even by Autoimmunity wherein the body's internal self defense mechanism thinks that the body part (cartilage) is an external invading body and starts attacking it.

Symptoms are similar to many other afflictions so a Physician would be the best authority on deciding if someone has Arthritis. Yet general symptoms are: aching joints, bulging of joints, inability of joint movement, skin reddening near joint, rigidity of joints (esp. in early part of the day) and feeling of warmth around joints. For in-depth examination, Physician may suggest X-ray, blood tests, joint fluid test etc to confirm the kind and severity of the Arthritis.

What are the various Arthritis treatments?
Some Arthritic conditions can be completely cured by medication but for others, containment is the only option for bringing in normalcy to patient's lifestyle. Physician will prescribe medication based on the type of Arthritis, severity of condition, age of patient and patient's lifestyle and occupation. Medication is generally accompanied by exercise and dietary/lifestyle advice. buy ultracet is a recommended medication for those suffering from arthritis to get quick pain relief.

Perceiving Old Age

Unfortunately Old Age has now become a prevalent social problem in our society. It is strange no one wants to grow old but every one want to live long. In our modern society, where money is the scale of everything, the old age people are measured as an economic liability and a social burden. Old age is observed as an ineluctable, undesirable, problem-ridden stage of life that we all are compelled to live, marking time until our final exit from life itself. Many people get extremely fearful when they become old. Distinguishing old age with fear is in fact a rather recent phenomenon. It seems to intensify as each day passes and the world become more difficult and less comprehensible.

Old age is a stage of life, where one needs to learn certain things afresh and get hold of new skills, mind-sets and socialization norms. In this lens, we present some useful information that would be of use to our senior citizens and also for the one who care for them.

 Grow Old With Me - The Best is Yet to be

During one's adult years one is diligent thinking of others, caring for others, working for others, earning for others. Whether or not one marries, has children, lives in a family - one lives amongst people. But after a life time of it one suddenly faces days and years of isolation and little to do. Now solitude may be a good place to visit but it is not such a good place to verbally express in. Although no man is an island, modern society more often than not forces the old person to live like one and although Simon and Garfunkel tell us that islands never cry, human islands do. Sometimes one is lucky to have one's most proximate companion in life (which a spouse has become by this time) helping one to believe "grow old with me/the best is yet to be" as Browning seemed to believe.

Every so often one is not quite so lucky and then the days are longer and emptier. It is lamentable but whenever we think of senescence, what automatically come to mind are visions of solitude and neglect. And if we integrate to these failing health and illness the picture becomes filled with a sense of helpless despair. Although it is true that at no stage of life is it ever smooths sailing and every stage has its own attendant problems, those of senescence seem insurmountable because the physical ability and mental resilience to cope with adverse situations are vastly reduced. And, to top it all, if there is no one else around even remotely intriguingly fascinated in whether the problem at hand merits a solution, the fight becomes that much harder.

 Old-Age Problems

Old age may bring on a need of mental sharpness. This can take place because of physical weakness. If the mind has been deserted, especially if the Word of God the almighty has been abandoned, there will be a breakdown of the mentality. In the said old age, there can be an embarrassment to life from the viewpoint of success standards. Someone looks back and observes life as a breakdown. Maybe he set ambitions, and now he is old and never understood the goals. There is an enormous danger of disenchantment. There is a propensity for great augment in mental attitude signs in old age, with stress on criticism and judgment. These things are over and over again overlooked in youth; but they are terrible in the elderly.

There is habitually a lack of self-confidence in old age, particularly if the old people can't take care of themselves monetarily. Their children are in the chief of their lives and repeatedly the children's plans do not include them. Old age may bring a lack of ability to concentrate, forgetfulness, inability to speak, to hear, to see etc. So the old individual gets used to sitting in a chair as pensiveness, vegetating, saying nothing.

There is occasionally a lack of reason to live, too much redundant time, and too much time for belligerent. There may be a craving to travel but no means to do so. There is a lack of important things to do. Old age brings about future shock. Senior citizen finds himself out of phase with the younger generations of children and grandchildren. Therefore a hazardous trend can get started toward hypercriticism.

The older believer may have stopped up growing religiously, or worse, may for no reason have got started. There is, therefore, no learning, no pursuit with God, no longing for the Word life. There is a propensity to vegetate, to become tired, to rely on the learning done years before. There can be a predisposition toward the negatives of Titus 2:3, becoming fake accusers, rumours, evil speakers, cruel in criticism.

There is a trend in the midst of older believers to drink a lot when they don't have something else going for them. There is the inclination to imagine that getting old means that a person has some wisdom. So there is the talkative senior citizen who never stops talking and impose continuous boredom on his listeners with his tired expression and homely chatter.
