Susun Weed asked:




“Dear woman,” Grandmother Growth’s voice seems to float in the deepening twilight, echoing, reverberating, ringing in your ears. “Bring me your soreness. Bring me your pain. Bring your aches to me. Bring your burdens. Bring all you can no longer stand, can no longer bear, can no longer carry, can no longer shoulder, can no longer be responsible for. Give it to me. Put it down. Let us sit in council together and listen to the stories your pain tells. Menopause is a journey which requires you to pack light. Heavy things – bitterness, regret, vengeance, clinging to pain – will make your travels wearisome and bring you down. Take only the stories. Leave the rest behind. Burn the soreness in your hot flashes. Let it leave you. This is the Change. Let it change you, dear woman; let it change you.”

Step 0: Do Nothing

Women dealing with fibromyalgia have less pain if they sleep in a completely dark room. If that’s impossible, wear a sleep mask.

Step 1: Collect Information

The chronic pain disorder I called “sore all over” when I wrote this section ten years ago is now big news. Ninety percent of the 4 million Americans dealing with this debilitating, frustrating condition – known as fibromyalgia – are white women, and many of them are menopausal.

Neither cause nor cure for fibromyalgia is known. It is not a disease but a range of symptoms characterized by chronic, widespread pain on both sides of the body, above and below the waist. (As one of my apprentices put it: “But I don’t hurt in all those places at once. The pain moves around. I never know where it will be next.”) Some women have a low fever in addition to pain. More than half of those with fibromyalgia also suffer from headaches, endometriosis, and/or irritable bowel syndrome.

The symptoms of fibromyalgia are quite variable, making diagnosis difficult. (Orthodox diagnosis is predicated on finding soreness at specific trigger points.) Fibromyalgia mimics aspects of multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, arthritis, hepatitis C, hypothyroidism, lupus, polymyalgia rheumatica, and early dementia. Many women with fibromyalgia are told their distress is “all in your mind.”

It isn’t in your mind (alone). Menopause can leave you feeling like you’ve been beaten on. Muscles respond to hormonal changes by feeling sore and cranky. Sleep loss can make you ache. (Non-restorative sleep is a hallmark of fibromyalgia.) Lack of calcium (and other minerals) can make your bones ache. Whether you are dealing with these challenges, or the greater problem of fibromyalgia, why not give Wise Woman Ways a try? The remedies listed here have been remarkably successful in helping many women.

“People with fibromyalgia aren’t just sensitive to pain; they also find loud noises, strong odors, and bright lights aversive.” – Daniel Clauw, MD, Director: Chronic Pain and Fatigue Research Center, Georgetown University

Step 2: Engage the Energy

Having a support group is one of the strongest factors in keeping fibromyalgia under control. Homeopathic Arnica is an amazing remedy for sore and aching muscles. Daily use of homeopathic Rhus toxicodendron reduced pain by 25 percent in those with fibromyalgia. Make a list of things you are sore (upset, angry) about. Where do these things live in your body? With the help of an experienced bodyworker, loosen those places. Women with fibromyalgia are very likely to be survivors of trauma (sexual or domestic violence, alcoholism). Go back to your Mother. Float in the ocean. Lie belly down on the earth. Naked. Let her ease you. Let her heal you. Listen to a relaxation tape. Have someone show you how to do the yoga position called the “Corpse Pose”. Learn how to bring yourself to a deep state of inner quiet and peaceful mind. Hypnotherapy can help you gain some degree of mental control over their symptoms. Cognitive behavior therapy is also helpful.
Step 3: Nourish and Tonify

Consistent use of nourishing herbal infusions, especially comfrey leaf and stinging nettle, in place of coffee, tea, and sodas is the single most effective thing I know for mitigating and overcoming fibromyalgia. Gentle exercise – walks, yoga or tai chi practices – keeps muscles from weakening and becoming more painful. Experts suggest starting with as little as three minutes a day, and gradually building to at least four sessions of five minutes each per day. Persist; the reward is worth it. Regular consumption of yogurt also proves very helpful for those with fibromyalgia. Perhaps it is due to yogurt’s ability to strengthen and nourish immunity; some suspect fibromyalgia is a result of immune system malfunction. Magnesium is a critical nutrient for preventing pain in muscles and connective tissues. Legumes, whole grains, leafy greens and nourishing herbal infusions – like nettle and oatstraw – are the best sources. Moxibustion is also known as needleless acupuncture. Safe and easy to do at home by yourself, moxibustion gives fast relief from sore joints and aching muscles. It not only relieves pain but tonifies, decreasing future pain and gradually effecting a “cure.” You can buy a moxa “cigar” at an Oriental pharmacy or health food store. Bring the glowing end of the moxa (after lighting it) near the painful area and move it around in small slow spirals until the heat becomes too intense. (This may take a few minutes or many.) Pain relief is usually immediate and often lasts for twelve or more hours.
Step 4: Stimulate/Sedate

Tinctures of willow bark or spirea (1-2 dropperfuls/1-2 ml is a dose) are highly recommended as important green allies by women dealing with fibromyalgia. St. Joan’s wort tincture – not capsules, not the tea – is a powerful ally for women with fibromyalgia. It is one of the best muscle relaxants I have ever used. A 25-30 drop dose not only stops but also prevents muscle aches. I have used it as frequently as every twenty minutes (for ten doses) when the occasion has necessitated it. St. Joan’s wort prevents soreness when taken after exercise; and even better if taken before. I take a dose every hour while on an airplane to prevent muscle aches and jetlag. Regular massage from an experienced therapist stimulates the circulation of blood and energy, relieves pain, reduces fatigue, and eases stiffness. Avoid deep tissue massage; it increases pain. Light strokes and gentle myofascial releases are more helpful. Chiropractic manipulations are of little benefit. Massage with heated stones and other heat treatments works wonders for some women. For others, cold treatments work better (but not too cold, and not for too long either, please). Ginger compresses, hot or cold, stir up circulation and mobilize the body’s own healing agents to take action and ease your pain. I grate several ounces of fresh ginger into simmering water, cook it gently for ten minutes, then soak a cloth in the liquid and use that as an application to the sore area. The National Institute of Health lists fibromyalgia as one of the few conditions that acupuncture can relieve. If lying down sleep makes the pain worse, slip into something relaxing: valerian, skullcap, or St. Joan’s wort tinctures, up to a dropperful/1 ml of any one, repeated twice if needed.
Step 5a: Use Supplements

A study found little benefit from those with fibromyalgia taking either SAM-e or 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan – a precursor to serotonin). Do not use 5-HTP if you are taking St. Joan’s/John’s wort. Lack of sleep can quickly aggravate symptoms of fibromyalgia. (See Step 0.) If sleep confounds you, melatonin at bedtime, the lowest dose you can get, may help.
Step 5b: Use Drugs

Essential oil of lavender was recommended by several women who have dealt with fibromyalgia for many years. Dilute with jojoba or olive oil and use as a rub. Orthodox treatment of fibromyalgia relies heavily on drugs, primarily antispasmodics, antidepressants and muscle-relaxants. But Celebrex, Vioxx, Valteran, amitriptyline (Elavil), fluoxetine (Prozac), vanlafaxine (Effecor), trazadone (Desyrel), alprazolam (Xanax), and cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) can adversely affect the liver and disrupt the immune system. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen do not reduce fibromyalgia pain for most women. Tramadol (Ultram) is a drug which addresses both the altered brain chemicals and the pain signals of those with fibromyalgia.
Step 6: Break and Enter

Beware invasive diagnostic tests. Many women report enduring endless rounds of tests trying to put a name to their pains with no success and at the price of physical, mental, and emotional distress. Injections of lidocaine, a drug that temporarily numbs nerves, are effective in relieving fibromyalgia pain for some women. Injections of capsaicin (from cayenne) relieve pain by destroying nerve endings.

Robert Deveau asked:




There are very many headache food triggers known to researchers now.? Consumption of caffeine can have an unpredictable effect on the frequency and severity of your headaches.? The main problem is that it is difficult to predict which effect it will have.??? Coffee can either reduce your existing headache or start a new one.? Many people do not even realize that since a previous cup of coffee started their headache in the first place that another cup will just make it worse.

Therefore the most important thing that you can do to help reduce your headache is to reduce your caffeine consumption.? After you have reduced it, you should consider settling into a routine.? You do not want to try to eliminate it entirely, that could bring on serious caffeine withdrawal pains, which could cause you to run back to pain relievers that we are trying to avoid.

Caffeine can be a very effective headache reducer, especially migraines, but it can also be a headache trigger if you come to rely on it too much.? Try reducing to two or three cups a day at specified times.? For example, you could decide that you will only drink coffee in the morning and at 2pm.? This should not only control your headaches but also help you to appreciate your coffee breaks more.?

It is not always possible or desirable to drink at exactly the same time everyday but the closer you can get to a regular routine the better off you will be for it.

My grandma was having really bad back spasms a couple of nights ago, but didn’t want to go to the ER, so she took one of my grandfather’s perscribed Somas
(generic name Carisoprodol ) The next day at work they had a random drug screening. Now she’s worried that it’s going to show up on her test and since she doesn’t have a prescription for it she’ll get in trouble. Does anyone know if one pill of a 300mg Soma would show up on a drug test?

Robert Ambrogi asked:




What is the meaning of the word “about” when used in a patent? The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals confronted that elusive question in a recent dispute between two pharmaceutical manufacturers and expert testimony proved important in finding the answer.

But while the court accepted the experts’ opinions on the meaning of “about” as used in the patent, it turned an about face and rejected their testimony as to the ultimate issue of infringement.

Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical brought the lawsuit against generic-drug maker Caraco Pharmaceutical Laboratories alleging infringement of its U.S. Patent No. 5,336,691. Ortho’s patent covered a pain reliever composed from two well-known analgesics; tramadol and acetaminophen.

The patent disclosed that when combined in certain ratios the effects of the two drugs were heightened. At issue in the case was the patent’s claim number 6, which covered a composition “wherein the ratio of the tramadol material to acetaminophen is a weight ratio of about 1:5.”

Ortho sued after Caraco filed an Abbreviated New Drug Application disclosing its plan to make and sell its own composition containing tramadol and acetaminophen. Caraco said its drug would have an average ratio of tramadol to acetaminophen of 1:8.67 and of no less than 1:7.5. Ortho contended that Caraco’s drug would infringe its patent.

The district court granted summary judgment and Ortho appealed to the Federal Circuit. Both in the district court and on appeal, the case focused on the proper construction of the term “about 1:5.” Ortho contended that it encompassed a range of at least 1:3.6 to 1:7.1, and that, under the doctrine of equivalents, Caraco’s formulation infringed. Caraco argued for a narrow construction.

The district court adopted the construction asserted by Ortho, construing “about 1:5″ to mean “approximately 1:5, encompassing a range of ratios no greater than 1:3.6 to 1:7.1.” It reached this conclusion relying in part on the intrinsic evidence of the claim and the specification and, in part, upon the extrinsic evidence of Ortho’s experts, Dr. Donald R. Stanski and Dr. Eric Smith. Both experts gave the opinion that one of ordinary skill in the art would conclude that the “about 1:5″ limitation would include a range of ratios that would extend up to and include 1:7.1.

The Federal Circuit affirmed this construction. Like the district court, it found support for this construction both in the claim itself and in the testimony of Ortho’s expert, Dr. Stanski. “Dr. Stanski opined that ‘about 1:5′ means ‘about 1:5, which includes a ratio up to and including 1:7.1′,” the court noted.

Accepting this construction meant that Caraco’s product did not literally infringe Ortho’s patent. Ortho’s patent covered a ratio of up to 1:7.1, while Caraco’s started at 1:7.5. The question, therefore, became whether Caraco’s drug infringed under the doctrine of equivalents.

Relying on its experts, Ortho asserted it did. One expert, Dr. Stanski, opined that a weight ratio of 1:8.76 is substantially similar to a weight ratio of 1:5. The other expert, Dr. Smith, stated in his report that the “degree of synergy of a composition with a weight ratio of tramadol to acetaminophen of 1:5 is similar to the degree of synergy of a composition with a weight ratio of tramadol to acetaminophen of 1:8.67.”

But the district court disagreed. It concluded that finding infringement by a formulation with an average weight ratio of 1:8.67 would render meaningless the “about 1:5″ limitation.

The Federal Circuit affirmed, finding that the 1:5 parameter was critical to the invention. Stretching the bounds of that parameter to cover Caraco’s drug would directly conflict with the patent’s express claim to both the 1:1 and the 1:5 ratios, the court said.

“Under this circumstance, whether or not the 1:5 ratio’s analgesic response is statistically different from that of other ratios is of no moment,” the court said. “The intrinsic evidence points to the desirability, and thus the criticality, of the 1:5 ratio versus other ratios.”

“Ortho cannot now argue that the parameter is broad enough to encompass, through the doctrine of equivalents, ratios outside of the confidence intervals expressly identified in the patent,” the court continued. “We agree with the district court that to do so would eviscerate the limitation.”

For these reasons, the court said, it concluded that Caraco’s drug could not infringe Ortho’s patent and that the district court properly granted summary judgment of non-infringement.

Dr. Mark Clayson asked:




Headaches come in many forms, all are unpleasant and some more debilitating than others. Primary headaches, while painful, are not harmful and can be treated with various medications with varying degrees of success. What a patient should be aware of, however, is whether or not the headache is indicative of a larger and potentially serious, life-threatening condition or disease. The classification of headaches into primary and secondary has been documented since 400 B.C. when Hippocrates designated headaches into these two categories. Secondary headaches are always indicative of an underlying condition or disease that should be taken seriously. Some diseases and conditions the sinister secondary headache could be indicative of are meningitis, cerebrovascular disease, infection, brain tumor, head trauma, diabetes, thyroid disease, TMJ (temporomandibular joint pain), glaucoma or withdrawal from painkillers.

How do we know whether or not a headache is primary or secondary? If a patient experiences a secondary headache, medical attention should be sought immediately. There are factors for recognizing a secondary headache. Some systemic features which can be symptomatic of a secondary headache are higher body temperature, rash, swelling of glands in the neck or neck stiffness. Some people have predisposing risk factors which result in a secondary headache, the most common being old age. An individual suffering from this type of headache should seek medical attention for the possibility of cancer. If the person has a family history of brain hemorrhages this can be an extremely dangerous incidence where a secondary headache is life threatening. If the individual has a sudden onset of a dramatic and painful headache, this could mean there is leakage of blood from a vessel in the brain.

A ruptured blood vessel of this type is a very serious condition referred to as subarachnoid hemorrhage and the person should be rushed to the hospital immediately to prevent further attacks of this type and continued leakage of blood. If a headache sufferer notices extreme weakness or even subtle weakness combined with visual anomalies, vertigo or half of the body feeling altered, this is a sign of a problem in the brain which is manifesting in headache form. A neurologist should be contacted, in this case, and the symptoms are often subtle to the individual. When a person has a headache attack, this may not be something new as many people experience primary headaches fairly regularly. One thing to look out for is whether the headache feels different. This ‘new’ type of headache can also indicate that something else is wrong. People suffering from long-standing headaches, persistent for a few days or longer, can be indicative of further complications. Most primary headaches do not have a long life span and can be ruled out in this instance.

If a person has any doubt about their headache it is advisable to seek medical help promptly as it is always better to be safe than sorry. When nausea, convulsions, disorientation, fever, pain in the eye, loss of consciousness, collapse, vomiting are symptoms of headache do not waste any time debating whether or not the headache is primary or secondary. Seek medical attention immediately with your health care provider.
