The definition of frustration

...is when you look into your friend's eyes and realise what you've deep down, long suspected...they just don't believe you any more...and more to the point, did they ever?

Neuropathy And Driving

Today's post is not so much a post, as a warning to people living with neuropathy that depending on the country they live in, there may be rules regarding being in control of a motor vehicle. What you see below is from the British Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency but different demands may apply depending on where you live.
The reasons are pretty obvious. It has to do with sensation and your 'feel' of the pedals and/or steering wheel. If you have limited sensation in feet or hands, you may not be able to respond appropriately to emergency situations on the road. In the Netherlands for instance, you need to go for a sort of examination of your reactions in an emergency stop situation. The pressure you can put on the brakes can be measured, to see if the car will come to an immediate stop (as it should). This shouldn't put you off driving. Many people see their cars as their only  form of independence but it is worthwhile checking to see if you are physically able to operate within the laws of the land and also if you are truly capable of driving safely. After all, it's not only your health that's at stake.
Remember too, the drugs you may be taking may also have an influence on your driving reactions and some drugs rule out driving completely!

HOW TO PREVENT DEPRESSION RISK AMONG TEENS

If you wish to shield your kids from depression, driving home the point that personalities can be changed may help, a study suggests.

A low-cost, one-time intervention that educates teenagers about the changeable nature of personality traits may prevent an increase in depressive symptoms, the findings showed.

"We were amazed that a brief exposure to the message that people can change - during a key transition, the first few weeks of high school - could prevent increases in symptoms of depression," said lead researcher David Scott Yeager from University of Texas at Austin in the US.

Adolescence is a challenging transitional period marked by puberty and also changes in friendship networks and status hierarchy.

Research suggests that many lifelong cases of major depression emerge during this developmental period.

For the study, researchers conducted a longitudinal intervention study with about 600 adolescents.

Students were randomly assigned to participate in the treatment intervention or a similar control activity, though they were not aware of the group assessment.

A follow-up 9 months later showed that rates of clinically significant depressive symptoms rose by roughly 39 percent among students in the control group, in line with previous research on depression in adolescence.

Students who learned about the malleability of personality, on the other hand, showed no such increase in depressive symptoms, even if they were bullied.

The data revealed that the intervention specifically affected depressive symptoms of negative mood, feelings of ineffectiveness and low self-esteem.

The study appeared in the journal Clinical Psychological Science.

Neuropathy And Your Quality Of Life

Today's post from neuropathydr.com (see link below) talks about the quality of a person's life when they have neuropathic problems to deal with. Most doctors will only look at the physical aspects of neuropathy and only evaluate what can be proved scientifically (they may only have a limited time to do that) but the psychological effects and the effects on your quality of life are just as important. It's a no-brainer; a happier person will react better to treatment.
The article forms part of a large website promoting medical clinics but the information is well-sourced ,accurate and very helpful. Following the link to the original page will allow you to contact them if you wish.

Peripheral Neuropathy and Your Quality of Life

If you’re suffering from peripheral neuropathy, you know how much it affects your life.

Every single day…

Even the simplest tasks can be difficult if not impossible…

To anyone unfamiliar with peripheral neuropathy and its symptoms, they might just think “your nerves hurt a little…”

But at a peripheral neuropathy sufferer, you know better…

Peripheral neuropathy not only affects your health, it can wreck your quality of life.

How Do You Define Quality of Life?
Generally speaking, Quality of Life is a term used to measure a person’s overall well-being. In medical terms, it usually means how well a patient has adapted to a medical condition. It measures[1]:

• Your physical and material well being
• Your social relationships – how you interact with others
• Your social activities
• Your personal fulfillment – your career, any creative outlets you may have, how involved you are with other interests)
• Your recreational activities – your hobbies, sports, etc.
• Your actual health – what your health is really like and how healthy you believe you are

How do you feel about these aspects of your life? Your attitude and approach to your illness, both your neuropathy and the underlying cause of your neuropathy (i.e., diabetes, HIV/AIDS, lupus, etc.) can make a huge difference in how well you adapt to your neuropathy symptoms.
Neuropathy Symptoms Aren’t Just Physical
The pain of peripheral neuropathy falls into the category of what is considered chronic pain. It usually doesn’t just come and go. You can’t just pop a couple of aspirin and forget about it. It’s pain with its root cause in nerve damage.
The nerves that actually register pain are the actual cause of the pain. When you’re in that kind of pain on a consistent basis, it affects you in many different ways[2]:

• You become depressed and/or anxious
• Your productivity and interest at work is disrupted
• You can’t sleep
• It’s difficult for you to get out and interact with other people so you feel isolated
• You sometimes don’t understand why you’re not getting better

What You Can Do To Improve Your Quality of Life
You may feel like your situation is hopeless, especially if you’ve become mired in depression.
But it isn’t.
There are things you can do to lessen the physical (and emotional) effects of peripheral neuropathy and help you function as normally as possible:

• Pay special attention to caring for your feet. Inspect them daily for cuts, pressure spots, blisters or calluses (use a mirror to look at the bottom of your feet). The minute you notice anything out of the ordinary, call your doctor or your local NeuropathyDR® clinician for help. Never go barefoot – anywhere.
• Treat yourself to a good foot massage to improve your circulation and reduce pain. Check with your insurance company – if massage is actually prescribed by your doctor, they may cover some of the cost.
• Only wear shoes that are padded, supportive and comfortable and never wear tight socks.
• If you smoke, quit. Nicotine decreases circulation and if you’re a peripheral neuropathy patient, you can’t risk that.
• Cut back on your caffeine intake. Several studies have found that caffeine may actually make neuropathy pain worse.
• If you sit at a desk, never cross your knees or lean on your elbows. The pressure will only make your nerve damage worse.
• Be really careful when using hot water. Your peripheral neuropathy may affect the way you register changes in temperature and it’s really easy for you to burn yourself and not even realize it.
• Use a “bed cradle” to keep your sheets away from your feet if you experience pain when trying to sleep. That will help you rest.
• Try to be as active as possible. Moderate exercise is great for circulation and it can work wonders for your emotional and mental health.
• Make your home as injury proof as possible – install bath assists and/or hand rails and never leave anything on the floor that you can trip over.
• Eat a healthy, balanced diet. If you don’t know what you should and shouldn’t eat, talk to your NeuropathyDR® clinician about a personalized diet plan to maintain proper weight and give your body what it needs to heal.
• Try to get out as often as possible to socialize with others.

We hope this information helps you to better manage your peripheral neuropathy symptoms. Take a look at the list above and see how many of these things you’re already doing to help yourself. Then talk to your local NeuropathyDR® clinician about help with adding the others to your daily life.

A Doctors View On Neuropathy Treatment

Today's post from neuropathytreatments.com (see link below) gives some sound advice from the point of view of a doctor with neuropathy patients. Not everything is covered here but there is some useful information for everybody living with the many forms of neuropathy. Worth a read.

The Advice Of A Medical Professional

Posted on February 24, 2014

Neuropathy is a complex condition that can have an effect on the body’s nervous system.  Peripheral nervous system occurs. The peripheral nervous system refers to the part of the nervous system outside of the brain and spinal cord; when damage occurs to the nerve cells or nerve axons, it is called peripheral neuropathy. Neuropathy is a painful condition that can have an effect on an individual’s life and their ability to maintain a normal active life.
Peripheral Neuropathy is a condition that will have an effect on an individual’s life and if not treated could have a severely negative effect. The pain and symptoms that are common place with neuropathy limit one’s mobility and ability to function in normal life situations. For instance, numbness is a symptom of neuropathy and can limit the patient’s ability to sense or feel terrain changes – risking further injury. Neuropathy symptoms have an implication on one’s social, vocational and functional life possibly causing the neuropathy patient to suffer with feelings of anxiety and depression.
Most doctors have to admit that when it comes to neuropathy treatment they have few options to offer their patients other than a prescription medication to help numb the pain. Numbing the pain does not fix the problem it only creates more problems; the medication used to numb neuropathy pain can leave the neuropathic patient juggling now both neuropathy pain and side effects from the medication.

What To Expect For Your Doctor
There are several different classes of medications for treating neuropathy. Since there is no cure for neuropathy, the only form of treatment is to discover a way to ease the painful neuropathy symptoms that create a stumbling block in one’s daily existence and most medical professionals believe that prescription medications are an excellent way to ease the pain of neuropathy. Below you will find more information on the most popular medications prescribed to those who suffer from neuropathy.

Antidepressants
Endorphins are the way the body naturally relieves pain and antidepressants are said to help treat neuropathy pain by blocking pain signals on their way to the brain and release endorphins. Antidepressants are further categorized that are available to help treat neuropathy.

Tricyclic anti-depressants calm levels of neurotransmitters in the brain. Tricyclic can reduce pain and improve mood and even help one sleep better. For help with reliving nerve pain, doctors will often prescribe the following tricyclic anti-depressants:

• Amitriptyline
• Desipramine
• Imipramine

Side Effects: dizziness, drowsiness, dries mouth and eyes as well as constipation.

Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) increase serotonin and norepinephrine one has in their system. SNRIs block serotonin and norepinephrine from being reabsorbed by brain cells.

Side Effects: dizziness, drowsiness and insomnia

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) are like SNRIs in that they help increase serotonin levels in the body, yet they differ in that they focus on serotonin levels to help decrease one’s pain perception.

Side Effects: insomnia, headaches and nausea

Anti-Seizures
Anti-seizures are medications that were originally designed to treat seizures. Anti-seizure medication is often prescribed to treat diabetic neuropathy due to its ability to slow down nerve signals so that the pain levels are not communicated to the brain. Examples of anti-seizures anti-convulsants would be:

• Pregabalin
• Gabapentin
• Gabarone
• Neurontin

Side Effects: drowsiness, weight gain, dizziness and nausea

Opioids
Also called narcotics, opioids are painkillers and serious stuff that should not be tampered with unless prescribed. Opioids are prescribed to relieve severe pain quickly but can become addictive.

Side Effects: drowsiness, nausea and constipation

Heed The Warning
Though the use of prescription medication can be effective in treating neuropathy pain and symptoms, there are several downsides to selecting medications as the primary form of neuropathy treatment. Medication can become addictive and have severe adverse side effects that could affect ones emotional, physical and mental stability. Never use narcotics out from under the care of a doctor.
Neuropathy can be emotionally, physically and mentally taxing without adding further complications such as depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety and irritability. To prevent side effects that could cause severe damage to one’s health treating neuropathy naturally is a great alternative to prescription medication.
