Pain
If you find yourself experiencing pain you may be suffering from one of the following conditions:
Chronic Pain Syndromes
Chronic pain syndrome consists of chronic anxiety and depression, anger, and changed lifestyle, all with a variable but significant level of genuine neurologically based pain.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is an illness characterized by widespread chronic pain. Individuals with it experience musculoskeletal aches, pain, stiffness, soft tissue tenderness, sleep disturbance and fatigue. The pain is typically located in the back, neck, shoulders, pelvic area and hands.
Depression
Depression is one of a range of moods a person feels that can vary from feeling down as a result of having a bad day, to a debilitating feeling of sadness that may overwhelm you and prevent you from performing normal daily tasks. Depression can occur in people of all ages and the episodes can last from a few days to several weeks or months. It is thought that young adults experience depression more frequently, and that it affects twice as many women as men.
Migraines and Headaches
Migraine is a commonly diagnosed type of recurring severe headache. Approximately 8% of the male population and 25% of the female population have suffered from migraine headaches during their lifespan. Although their specific cause is still unclear, it is believed to be related to the tightening and widening of the blood vessels which nourish the brain.
