It is not easy for me to admit to you but, I guess that I have become “that guy”… None of us could have expected this lot in life: multiple sclerosis.  Not a single one of us knew what to do in the moments, days and weeks after diagnosis.  I doubt I’m alone in the sentiment I expressed in our interview blog that I would trade every lesson I’ve learned for health. Still, it’s not...

Most recently, scientists have added rheumatoid arthritis to the list. They found that that patients with rheumatoid arthritis and gum disease who undergo periodontal therapy experience less arthritis pain, fewer swollen joints, and reduced morning stiffness. The findings were reported in Journal of Periodontology by researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine and Hospitals of Cleveland. JOP held a workshop in 2008 on the body inflammation – periodontal disease – systemic health connection. Read about it here. Dr. Michael K. McGuire stated in no. 11 Vol. 79 of JOP, 2008: There is growing evidence that inflammation can be transferred from t... dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2442168 Fri, 29 May 2009 15:59:04 +0100 2442168 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2376483&cid=t_142317_129_f&fid=36038&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.everydayhealth.com%2Fblog%2Ftrevis-life-with-multiple-sclerosis-ms%2Flive-from-the-aan-conference-opening-weekend%2F Greetings from the American Academy of Neurology’s annual conference in Seattle, Washington! I hope everyone’s weekend was splendid. Mine was some kind of busy here. I spent the first half of opening day in the press room organizing my schedule for the week. Last Friday I wrote, “The volume of information on MS at this conference is staggering!” Boy, I had no idea! There are nearly 275 multiple sclerosis posters to be presented alone this week. Couple that with the great seminars, full & half day programs and informative speeches by research leaders. Wrap it up with a massive trade-show exhibition and I’ve got my work cut out for me. I’m not a stupid person but more than my fair share of information will be streaming over my noggin at any one time during this thing. Most in...

While most doctors would be unwilling – or unable - to perform a reversal procedure in one of these situations, Dr. Gary Berger is able to repair the tubes in 98% of cases, regardless of the type of sterilization that has been performed or whether difficult situations are encountered.

There has been a breakthrough in research that may prove to aid in the risk of heart attacks associated with the inflammatory disease, by 80%. Just what is RA you ask? Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease that causes pain, stiffness, swelling, and limitation in the motion and function of many joints. An estimated 2.1 million Americans have RA, most of them women. Although joints are the principal body parts affected by RA, inflammation can develop in other organs as well. Heart attacks, resulting from inflammation of the coronary vessels, are more common in RA sufferers. Researchers have been studying reducing the risk of heart attacks among patients by using a TNF-inhibitor in conjunction with the tried an...
