Exercise May Help You Better Tolerate Pain
Chronic pain is now more prevalent in the U.S. than either depression or diabetes. It can be persistent and hard to treat—but two recent studies, one about a potential intervention and another about chronic pain’s origins, shed light on the increasingly common condition.
Research published May 24 in the journal Plos ONE suggests that even though exercise may be the last thing a person living with pain wants to do, it could be a critical element to recovery. Using data from a large Norwegian population study of 10,732 adults, researchers at the University Hospital of North Norway in Tromsø analyzed peopl...

COVID-19 Can Cause New Cholesterol Problems. What to Know
Not long after the start of the global coronavirus pandemic, it was apparent that many people infected with SARS-CoV-2 were developing persistent and, in some cases, debilitating health problems. Now known widely as post-Covid syndrome or Long COVID, the most common symptoms of this condition are fatigue, attention problems, headaches, muscle or joint pain, and weakness. But those are just the start. Medical researchers have also linked SARS-CoV-2 to lingering complications in multiple organs and systems, and some recent work has found that new-onset cholesterol problems may be an under-recognized but common complication o...

1 in 10 People Get Long COVID After Omicron
WASHINGTON — About 10% of people appear to suffer Long COVID after an omicron infection, a lower estimate than earlier in the pandemic, according to a study of nearly 10,000 Americans that aims to help unravel the mysterious condition.
Early findings from the National Institutes of Health’s study highlight a dozen symptoms that most distinguish Long COVID, the catchall term for the sometimes debilitating health problems that can last for months or years after even a mild case of COVID-19.
Millions worldwide have had Long COVID, with dozens of widely varying symptoms including fatigue and brain fog. Scientists s...

This Molecule Is The Key To Stopping Autoimmune Disease
I’m seeing an epidemic of autoimmune diseases in my practice. My patients come to me when doctor after doctor has ignored their symptoms or given up on them.
You see, the problem is that most doctors still don’t understand these diseases.
I’m talking about things like lupus… rheumatoid arthritis… fibromyalgia… chronic fatigue syndrome… inflammatory bowel disease… and multiple sclerosis (MS).
Of course, there are many more. About 80 conditions affecting organs throughout the body are known as autoimmune disorders. They affect around 50 million Americans.
These are all conditions where your immune system beco...

A measurement for chronic pain is a scientific holy grail – and we’re getting closer | Abdul-Ghaaliq Lalkhen
People who have chronic pain without a visible injury are often not believed, but new research can help visualise that painMost people, including doctors, do not appreciate that the organ that produces pain is the brain. A broken bone, damaged tissue or a bleeding wound is often the focus, but the experience of pain is the sum total of more than just the physical injury – it is the result of information sent from our nerves being filtered through an individual’s unique psychological makeup, genetics, gender, beliefs, expectations, motivations and emotional context. Pain is therefore an individual experience, and often ...

American Health Care Is Broken. Major Hospitals Need to Be Part of the Solution
American health care is broken. And American health care systems must transform radically to lead the repair.
Let’s first look at the data: The U.S. now spends more than $4 trillion a year on health care. That’s nearly 20% of gross domestic product. Yet U.S. life expectancy lags literally dozens of other nations—including Portugal, Slovenia, and Turkey—by as much as seven years. If trends continue, we will drop to 64th in the world in life expectancy by 2040, though we will continue to spend significantly more per capita than nearly any other nation.
Diagnosing this failure is not difficult. Nearly ...
