New research:Acupuncture in patients with tension-type headache: randomised controlled trial BMJ Online First. Acupuncture is an effective treatment for tension headache, cutting rates for sufferers by almost half, shows a study on bmj.com this week. Another research from JAMA
Migraine patients who received true acupuncture had no decrease in headaches as compared with those who received sham acupuncture treatment, according to a study in the May 4 issue of JAMA. .................... "In conclusion, in our trial, acupuncture was associated with a reduction of migraine headaches compared with no treatment; however, the effects were similar to those observed with sham acupuncture and may be due to nonspecific physiological effects of needling, to a powerful placebo effect, or to a combination of both," the authors write.
Vertigo More Likely In People Who Have Osteoporosis
Wednesday March 25, 2009
Vertigo is an inner ear disorder that causes dizziness. People who have osteoporosis are more likely to also have vertigo, according to a study published in the March 24, 2009 issue of Neurology.
While physical exercise has been shown to trigger migraine headaches among sufferers, a new study describes an exercise program that is well tolerated by patients. The findings show that the program decreased the frequency of headaches and improved quality of life.
I began having balance problems (walking but feeling like I might fall down) last August 2006 - went to my primary care Dr. he told me I had fluid in my ear and gave me some meds, that went away and then I began to have headaches daily for 3 months and then they went away. I was fine for about a month but then in February 2007 I started feeling weakness and stiffness in my legs and when I walked almost a feeling of un-coordination and that my foot would hit the ground but it would take a second before my leg would be stable and I've had a stiff heavy neck, lower back burning and discomfort and some mild balance problems and fatigue.
Since February I have been to an ENT who tested me for allergies and told me I have level 3 allergies to dust and mold and gave me allergy drops. ENT also tested me for sleep apnea - said I had a mild case and gave me a mouth piece to wear at night. I've had 2 sinus CT scans which revealed a deviated septum with a nasal bone spur. In March I had a brain MRI which came back "clean"/"unremarkable". I have also been to a chiropractor would told be I have subluxation in my neck and lower back - have been seeing him for 5 months and still have symptoms.
It got better this summer (2007) and into the fall (2007) – never really going away but much better – would this rule out ALS? Then at the end of November 2007 it started getting worse seemed to be related with running every day.
I have had an MRI of my neck and lower back – came back that I didn’t need surgery but I had some bulging in L5 – S1 and a little in my neck.
Went to the Neurologist and he examined me and said I was fine
What's wrong with me?
