Vitamin D relieves joint, muscle pain for breast cancer patients

Washington University doctors have found that high-dose vitamin D helps relieve joint and muscle pain in breast cancer patients taking estrogen-lowering drugs. Known as aromatase inhibitors, the drugs are prescribed to treat breast tumors fueled by the hormone estrogen. They are less toxic than chemotherapy, but many patients experience severe musculoskeletal discomfort, including pain and stiffness in the hands, knees, hips, lower back, shoulders and feet.

The first line treatment of fever and ache and pain is acetaminophen or paracetamol. Famous brands are like Tylenol, Mapap or Panadol. There are many other brands out there as well, and they come in many different forms such as tablet, capsule, liquid, sachets or supportitories.
The recommended acetaminophen or paracetamol dosing for adults and children 12 years and over without kidney or liver diseases is 500 to 1000mg every four to six hours as needed, with a maximum of 4000mg in any 24 hour period.

Another treatment for fever is called ibuprofen, common brand names are Advil, Motrin and Nurofen. There are also many other brands out there. It usually comes in a tablet, capsule or liquid form. It is used when acetaminophen or paracetamol is not enough to bring the fever down.

Acetaminophen or paracetamol and Ibuprofen that we mentioned before can also treat aches and pain. Besides that, codeine is also used to treat ache and pain. Codeine may cause drowziness and constipation. So while you are taking this, you would need to drink more water and increase fiber intake and if you feel drowzy, do not drive or operate machinaries.

You suddenly have a cough. Do you have omicron, a cold or the flu?

With the rise of omicron cases nationwide, many want to know how to tell the difference between symptoms of COVID-19 and that of a common cold or flu.

“As we know, this virus is highly, highly contagious – much more than the previous variants,” said Dr. Hai Shao, infectious disease physician with Sharp Chula Vista.

He mentioned that omicron symptoms are similar to previous COVID variants.

“They include fever, chills, headache, sore throat, and as it progresses, people will start having cough, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing,” said Dr. Shao.

He pointed out that while many symptoms are similar between COVID-19 and a common cold or flu, there are certain symptoms exclusive to COVID.

What is Hepatitis C and Why Should You Care?

Hepatitis C is a viral infection causing liver disease. Over 3 million people in the US are infected with hepatitis C and over half remain undiagnosed. The vast majority of individuals living with hepatitis C do not have symptoms. Hepatitis C is transmitted through contact with infected blood and many are unaware of their infection. If left untreated, hepatitis C can damage the liver to the point of cirrhosis, liver cancer and liver failure. The good news is that there are short-duration treatments that can lead to cure. The Johns Hopkins Viral Hepatitis Center is here to help more people get tested, treated and cured of this life-threatening disease.

Doctors at hospitals and urgent cares are seeing more patients are coming in reporting newer symptoms associated with the omicron variant of COVID including night sweats.

“Night sweats. I got night sweats, which I did not know was a symptom of COVID. I went and looked online to see if that was a symptom. And it turns out that it is,” said Jason Borgmann, an Escondido father.

Doctors say night sweats weren’t a common symptom with previous COVID variant cases but are with omicron.

“Since the beginning of this pandemic with COVID 19 it’s always been a bucket of crazy symptoms,” said Dr. Davey Smith, UCSD Chief of Infectious Diseases and Global Health.

Patient has been experiencing gas pain for the past 30 years. The pain has gotten worse in the past 7-8 years where it would wake him up in the middle of the night every 2-3 hours.

Meticulous structural test and Gonstead examination reveals structural abnormalities at the 5th lumbar and 6th dorsal vertebrae. The 5th Lumbar nerve obstruction resulted in constipation that led to increase bowel gas. The 6th Dorsal nerve obstruction resulted in his pyloric sphincter to be wide open when it’s suppose to be closed. As a result of that dysfunction, the bowel gas went into his stomach which is called trapped gas syndrome or magenblase syndrome.

Correction of the 5th Lumbar and 6th Dorsal vertebra led to restoration of 5L and 6D nerve function. Reduced constipation results in reduce bowel gas and with properly functioning closed pyloric sphincter = no more gas pain and restful sleep!
