    19 Nov 2009 | 2:00 am
    Although morphine has been the gold-standard treatment for postoperative and chronic cancer pain for two centuries, a growing body of evidence is showing that opiate-based painkillers can stimulate the growth and spread of cancer cells. Two new studies advance that argument and demonstrate how shielding lung cancer cells from opiates reduces cell proliferation, invasion and migration in both cell-culture and mouse models.

    When you’re being bombarded with intense physical sensations that a.) Hurt  b.) Prevent you from moving normally, or c.) Stop you from doing the things you want to do, it’s pretty easy to view your body (the source of these uncomfortable sensations and limitations) as an enemy intent on destroying your day and ruining your life.  If these physical sensations were actually coming from an outside source you would definitely call it an enemy and you’d want to make them stop what they were doing by any means possible. I can remember a time when I felt this way about my body, and the…

    7 Jul 2009 | 6:41 pm
    There are many emotions and reactions that show expression on the face without conscious control; they’re automatic facial responses to emotional, and to a lesser degree, physical stimulus. It doesn’t seem to matter where you’re from or how you were raised, we humans share almost identical facial reactions to grief, anger, joy and pain; these unconscious facial responses are pretty much universal. We also have an innate ability to “read” these facial expressions in others, as well as listening to what they say to gather the whole message; if the words don’t match the facial…

The holidays are upon us or at least rounding the corner while on their way. Ignoring them won’t keep them from arriving but early preparation can make them more enjoyable and more than survivable. We have to adapt to survive and to enjoy our traditional celebrations. When you live a compromised life due to chronic disease and/or pain, the rules change. I think our values also change. We have to learn to sort,…

    Where are the words to describe a day like this? Rarely short on words, I find it’s more a matter of propriety, society and sobriety. No, it’s not that kind of sobriety. If you have IBS and you allow any alcohol to go “over the gums and into the tum,” then you will quickly learn it’s like swallowing battery acid. This kind of sobriety is the type I often battle because I’m a natural born smart ass. I use humor like some people use Kleenex; to cope, to wipe away problems and to get through the day.  As always I strive to find a way to say it without being too insensitive while…

    The question is often raised whether it is men or women who are more susceptible to feeling pain. The actual amount of pain an individual is experiencing is difficult to assess because our interpretation of pain is extremely individual. Does it vary according to our sex? We have all been asked the question about our amount of pain according to the pain sliding scale. I know you’re all familiar with it. You remember the scale which starts with 1 and goes up to 10? The physician or his/her assistant usually asks you, on an office visit, where your pain is currently with number 1 being the…

    Living with diabetes is more than taking insulin or medication. Those who have diabetes or know someone who does knows that living with diabetes is a lifestyle. Insulin or medications, like metformin or glucophage are not a cures for diabetes, although that is a common belief.

Researchers in Toronto, Canada, investigated the differences between 58 children with H1N1 who were admitted to the Hospital for the Hospital for Sick Kids, in Toronto, and 200 who had been admitted to the same hospital with complications from the seasonal flu, between 2004 and 2008.
