Autoimmune hemolytic anemia Immune-mediated thrombocytopenia ... Polyarthritis What is the immune system? The term "Autoimmune disease" is currently making the rounds among dog breeders and exhibitors and in the veterinary community. Diseases caused by a defective immune system are of particular concern among many purebred fanciers. (Some people use the abbreviation AID for (A)uto (I)mmune (D)isease. Due to possible confusion with AIDS, (acquired immune deficiency syndrome), a completely different disease, I have not used this acronym.) The immune system is a marvelous defense network of white blood cells, antibodies, and other substances used to fight off infections and reject foreign proteins. It is a police force patrolling the body, designed to recognize "self" cells from "non-self" cells by markers found on the surface of every cell in the body. It is this ability that causes the body to reject skin grafts, blood transfusions, and organ transplants. Like anything else, the immune system can fail, either by not doing its job or by doing it too well.

View previous editions of the Arthritis: Rheumatoid Newsletter. Arthritis: Rheumatoid Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an auto-immune disease that causes pain, swelling, stiffness and loss of function in the joints. The disease often affects the wrist joints and the finger joints closest to the hand, although it can also affect other parts of the body. There are two basic types of remedies for Rheumatoid Arthritis: treatments aimed at the underlying auto-immune disease; and treatments to relieve pain and inflammation. Treatments aimed at the underlying auto-immune disease include the DMARD medications (disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs) such as Arava (Leflunomide), as well as a new class of RA drugs known as biologic response modifiers such as Enbrel (Etanercept) and Remicade (Infliximab). Rheumatoid Arthritis pain and inflammation relief remedies include prescription drug information for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID's), corticosteroids, and alternative Rheumatoid Arthritis treatments like chiropractic and acupuncture.

var TlxPgNm='id72'; Auto immune diseases Vitiligo Wegener's g ranulomatosis omatosis Cold Agglutinin Disease Graves' Disease Lichen Planus Lupus ... Fibromyalgia-Fibromyositis top Vitiligo Vitiligo is an autoimmune skin disease in which the absence of melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) causes a decreased pigmentation in the skin. Vitiligo is 10 to 15 times more common in patients with other autoimmune diseases, such as Addison's disease, diabetes mellitus, pernicious anemia, discoid lupus, and abnormal thyroid function. This disorder has only recently been identified as an autoimmune disease because organ-specific antibodies have now been detected in patients with vitiligo. The autoimmune reaction leads to destruction of pigment cells (melanocytes). Pigment cells are what give color or tint to the skin. Vitiligo has a tendency to run in families and may follow unusual trauma, especially to the head. The disease may also be referred to as leukoderma. Autoimmune diseases occur when these reactions inexplicably take place against the body's own cells and tissue by producing self-reactive antibodies. In vitiligo, the autoantibody is directed against the melanocytes. Back to top Wegener's Granulomatosis Wegener's granulomatosis is an autoimmune vascular disease that usually affects middle-aged men. The initial manifestations generally involve the upper and lower respiratory tract, with a chronic, progressive inflammation. The inflammation may form lumps or granulomas in the tissues or in the skin. It may progress into generalized inflammation of the blood vessels (vasculitis) and kidneys (glomerulonephritis). A limited form of the disease that does not involve the kidneys may occur.

Ear Surgery Information Center MENIERE'S DISEASE by Mark J. Levenson MD, FACS Meniere's Syndrome Vertigo Endolymlphatic Hydrops Meniere's Disease is a very disturbing illness, presenting patients with hearing loss, pressure in the ear, tinnitus, severe imbalance and vertigo. Vertigo is the most dramatic and distressing symptom of Meniere's; it is described as a sudden loss of normal balance or equilibrium. The room may suddenly begin to spin and rotate at high speed. Focusing is difficult, and if the vertigo continues, nausea and vomiting may occur. Vertigo is commonnly caused by acute labyrinthitis (a viral inflammation of the inner ear), benign positional vertigo (a condition due to abnormally floating crystals in the inner ear that stimulate the nerve endings of the inner ear), delayed symptom of head injury, or result of cervical spine problems. Hearing loss typically fluctuates with hearing being worse some days than others. The hearing loss in Meniere's may lead to severe permanent hearing loss and deafness in the affected ear. People with Meniere's Disease report that tinnitus may be variable and often worsen before an attack of vertigo. Tinnitus is often described as a motor-like whirring noise present only in the ear with the hearing loss.

www.EllenStroud.com Ellen Stroud, RN Health Consultant Jacksonville, Oregon askellen@ellenstroud.com "Let food be your medicine & medicine be your food" Hippocrates What Your Doctor Doesn't Have Time to Tell You About Staying Healthy... Thirty years ago it used to be if you ate "right" (an apple a day keeps the doctor away), you were assured of great energy and health and chances were good that you would live to an old age without fear of crippling chronic illnesses and premature aging. Today, it is far more complicated!! We live in a society of high stress, exposure to toxic chemicals, unhealthy life styles and low quality nutrition. My mission is to provide you with important personalized information that will help you deal with these negative health factors so you may maintain optimal health or return to great health. What you do today will effect your health and productivity of tomorrow. Good health is "money in the bank" and has proven to be one of the best investments a person will ever make. Nutrition based healthcare, unfortunately, is rarely covered in today's pharmaceutical based medical training. Since doctors' medical training teaches them to focus on drug-based approaches to healthcare, very few doctors include nutritional information in their instructions to patients. Most focus on the symptoms at hand rather than preventive medicine. We are what we eat and our ability to have and enjoy a long, healthy productive life is heavily influenced by lifestyle choices we make every day. Assisting clients to make healthy choices is what I am all about.

DO YOU SUFFER FROM PERSISTENT      Pain?      Aching?       FATIGUE? These are all symptoms of  little-known conditions that go by the names of ME (myalgic encephalomyeletis, used in most of the world)/CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome, used in the U.S.), FMS (fibromyalgia syndrome), MCS (multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome), and GWS (gulf war syndrome).  These syndromes affect significant numbers of the population, predominantly women, and are seen in all age groups, including young children.  These conditions are characterized by generalized pain or aching in the connective tissues, poor sleep quality, and numerous other symptoms.  These conditions are referred to as syndromes because the symptoms occur in combination.  People often liken the conditions to having a very bad case of the flu or having been run over by a truck.  Many health-care professionals familiar with these syndrome suspect that they are related.  For purposes of this page, we will refer to all of the above as chronic syndromes.  Although fibromyalgia syndrome is the only one of these syndromes with a diagnostic test at this time, an alert, competent and supportive medical professional who is familiar with these syndromes can, along with taking a careful and comprehensive history, make an educated diagnosis.  For fibromyalgia syndrome, your doctor can conduct a simple “tender point” exam.  If 11 of the 18 specific tender points on the body hurt when pressed, and aching or pain has persisted for more than three months, the diagnosis is confirmed.
