Lymphedema
is swelling in one or more extremities resulting from impaired flow of the
lymphatic system. It most commonly affects a single arm or leg but there are
situations where both limbs can be affected. Lymphedema is also most commonly
found in females rather than males. Primary lymphedema is caused by an
abnormality in a person’s lymphatic system at birth but nay not be recognized
until later in life. Congenital lymphedema is evident at birth, and Meige
disease becomes evident after the age of 35. The most common form of primary
lymphedema is lymphedema praecox and most often develops during puberty. There
is also secondary lymphedema which occurs when a normally functioning lymphatic
system is blocked or damaged. The leading causes of this are cancer treatments,
surgical procedures and filariasis (infection of the lymph nodes by the
parasite Wuchereria bancrofti).
The symptoms of lymphedema include
swelling of the arms or legs noticed when there is difficulty fitting into
clothes and jewellery, fatigue due to added weight, redness and itching, aches
and pain and restriction of daily activities. Long-term effects include
inflammation of tissues, taut swelling, decreased mobility/flexibility and
cracked overlying skin. The immune system is also supressed in the areas
affected by lymphedema resulting in frequent infections. Lymphedema is
diagnosed by using CT/MRI scans, Doppler ultrasound scans and
lymphoscintigraphy to identify abnormalities such as tumours, blood clots in
the veins or blockages in the lymph vessels.
Lymphedema has no cure but there are
treatments that can help relive swelling and discomfort. Compression treatments
help in reducing swelling as well as light exercised to help
stimulate the arm or leg muscles. Patients may also
drain the lymph fluid and have lymph node replacement surgery to help decrease the
progression of lymphedema.
Marinette still works as a nurse,
however she spends less time on her feet and often times wears elastic stocking
and bandages to help relieve the swelling. She also has to be careful in
avoiding cuts and infections as they can enter her bloodstream. Using the
compression treatments and having manual drainage of the lymph fluid, Marinette
is able to live comfortably without any serious pain and is able to continue
with her job with little difficulty.
I was able to overcome senile dementia via a complete naturopathic process.
ReplyDeleteAbout two years ago, when I was 56, I started feeling foggy and had occasional memory lapses. My wife, Mary, started to notice it, too, but I also have hearing issues so she thought that was the problem. My memory worsened very gradually over the years, and we lived with it, compensating as needed. I became less social. After some months thereafter, it got to the point where we couldn’t keep making excuses or ignoring it. I had gone from doing our grocery shopping without a list to going with a list, to having the list but not buying what was on it.
Mary went online to do some research, and it was during this process we had been fortunate enough to come across Dr. Utu Herbal Cure: an African herbalist and witch doctor whose professional works had majored on the eradication of certain viral conditions, especially dementia, ( improving the memory capacity positively), via a traditional, naturopathic process and distinguished diet plan. It was by the administration of this herbal specialist that I had been able to improve my condition for better. So to say, the encounter with the above-mentioned herbal practitioner was the first time we ever heard there was something that possibly can be done to improve my memory functionality.
By the existence of such an encounter, I was able to learn of the new approach by which this herbalist successfully treated dementia conditions, which included a distinguished herbal therapy and lifestyle changes of which I had undergone to a tremendous, positive effect.
It was after the completion of the herbal therapy I had started to experience a great deal of cognitive improvement when it came to rational decision making.
In brief, I was able to go through the dreadful hollows of senile dementia without any further hazardous damage to my health condition, and within a short period. Had it not been for the support of my wife, of whom had encouraged me to undergo the above-mentioned therapy and that of the herbal practitioner of whom now happens to be benefactor - I would have been long exposed to the further perils of this condition and of which had been apt to result to a calamitous end.
I would also wish for the same positiveness upon patients who may happen to be suffering from this debilitating disease, and would warmly beseech them to find a confidant like this herbal specialist with whose professional service I was able to obtain a divine recovery.
