Painkillers When Headache

A remarkable note is here. The gist is that research shows that the main cause of chronic headaches is excessive use of painkillers.
In several articles I have argued for the first time, finding internal solutions to fall back on external solutions. Very briefly, the key idea: in many problems there is no need for solutions from outside the 'system' (the organization or individual) to find because there are solutions within the system are located. The article to which I refer gives examples. The benefits of internal over external solutions are great solutions. One of those advantages is that solving the problem through an internal solution leads to independence. Conversely said applying an internal solution does not make you dependent.
This principle, I have hitherto always been described in relation to human performance and organizational performance. Several times I have wondered how far this principle is applicable in particular whether it applies to the use of drugs. I wondered in particular whether swallowing a paracetamol for headache was less wise than the resolution of the headache by the body. Because I am not a doctor, I have so far but not dared to make propositions on this subject or even to formulate hypotheses (there are too many quacks and doctors, I wonder). But now there is this research that shows that the main cause of chronic headaches is excessive use of painkillers. It seems quite an indication that the internal principle solutions are broadly applicable than I thought.

Migraine Instead of Sinus Headache

Based on several studies, the U.S. physician Dr. Virginia notebook has recently set out to differentiate between migraine and sinus headaches in the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Thus, for notebooks - despite very similar symptoms - indicate some clear differences and notes that migraine is often diagnosed as sinus headache.

If the whole head hurts, and generally occur on all complaints is head openings, then in most affected the self-diagnosis: "sinus headache". According to this notebook at least in the U.S. diagnosis in 90 percent of the cases is not correct, but if it were here to migraine attacks. In both cases occur not only headaches but also stuffy nose and sinuses.

However, goes a sinus headache from an infection - much like a common cold. Otherwise does not "sinus" in English "sinus" or "sinus". When the flu-known Ausschnauben then comes to light greenish sputum. These symptoms are treated with antibiotics, her condition improved, because the bacteria are killed. Often, however, remains one of relief, because now it is not time to sinus headaches but migraine. Especially dangerous is the return effect, if ever stronger drugs are taken.

Whether U.S. pharmaceutical companies in their TV commercials to increase profits aware diagnose a sinus headache, such as blotter says is safe rich speculation.
