Could it be that Asthma - may serve as an excellent model for the diagnosis and treatment of neuropathic disease in general? This - because Asthma has been studied and researched so thoroughly that much more is known of it than any other neuropathic disease. Thus - to use what has been learned of Asthma - in the treatment of neuropathic disease in general.

A woman who contracts neuropathic disease is subject to many trauma. Not only that of the disease itself - but of rejection by her mate - friends - family - and co-workers. She is abandoned by those who were her friends. She usually suffers at the hands of incompetent and uncaring doctors - and is often the unwitting victim of insurance company and Workman's Compensation policies. Early and effective treatment is vital if the disease is to be conquered. All of these aforementioned elements conspire to prevent this early treatment.

Why is it that women seem to fare so poorly when they suffer one or more neuropathic diseases? It is as though the current popular cultures of earth and their medical institutions - at bottom - actually dislike women. The women who suffer neuropathic disease are likely to become morose, depressed, and isolated from the main stream of their respective cultures and instutions. What is to be done about this? How to rectify this situation?

The conclusion of a three part series on Neuropathic Pain. This segment discusses the effect of neuropathic pain upon the circuits of the nervous system - and how they become altered. This alteration makes current pain management treatments ineffective. Thus it is necessary to research each type of pain individually and to find an effective treatment - based upon the rewired circuitry of the nervous system.

NAC - N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) is effective in the treatment of HIV and the related symptoms that stem from this disease. It is also possible that due to the many similarities of most aspects of HIV and the Neuropathies - that there is common ground here and that the solution to one may be also the solution to the other. Thus - an introduction to the presence of and the current research involving NAC.

You, the patient, are totally on your own - when you suffer from a neuropathic disease. Doctors are not knowledgeable, tend to under-medicate - which is anathema - and your family does not believe that you are ill. It is worse than being damned - to suffer from one of the neuropathic diseases.

Jun 22, 1999 - Les Abrams

Now that you have been diagnosed with a neuropathic disease - what are your options and what defense willl be mounted ti defend against further encroachment by the disease. And what procedures are to be followed to restore your health to its former state, and to maintain it once achieved.

Critical Thinking is a tool for analysis of the veracity of statements. Anyone that must evaluate statements or documents that make claims - is best served by using a pro forma approach to the analysis. This will often guarantee that no critical element is over looked. This approach is one application of Critical Thinking.

What can the patient do to assist the treatment of the disease - and not have to suffer the indignity of bad or misinformed treatment by unprepared or uncaring doctors. There are many avenues open to the patient who must now take contol of their own treatment. The resources to do this self-contracting - so to speak - are being introduced by this seires of articles.

Jun 1, 1999 - Les Abrams

The origins and etiologies of the Neuropathies are described showing what may be possible and why and how it may manifest the disease. And - simultaneously - there may be more than one of these etiologies responsible for the condition or conditions that may result. The article is continued next week and describes some of the defenses t hat are available to the patient.

Inflexible red blood cells could be one the contributing factor in restriction of blood flow in the micro-vascular system. The other is vasoconstriction. Normally, the red blood cells are disc shaped and quite flexible. In the case that the red blood cells are not flexable - the pateint is at risk for reduced blood flow and all of the ramifactions that pertain.

Today - it is necessary for the patient who suffers the effects of RSD or any Neuropathy of the PNS must take control of their won medical treatment - in order to achiev sucess or even partial success in over coming this disease. It can be done - because some have done it. There are a number of factors - each with its own role that may be employed by the patient - to achieve either a cure or robust remission. Thus - do not lose hope of ever vanquishing this disease - but it will be necessary for you to learn just how to manage the entire set of procedures and treatments before you will be able to take control.

Other treatments, perhaps may result - in a cure.
