Hopeful for the future! Scientists induce sensations of touch and movement in the arm of a paralyzed man | California Institute of Technology | 10 April 2018
Opening paragraph:
‘For the first time, scientists at Caltech have induced natural sensations in the arm of a paralyzed man by stimulating a certain region of the brain with a tiny array of electrodes. The patient has a high-level spinal cord lesion and, besides not being able to move his limbs, also cannot feel them. The work could one day allow paralyzed people using prosthetic limbs to feel physical feedback from sensors placed on these devices.’

New Post! Could food sensitivities be making your Fibromyalgia symptoms worse? | Counting My Spoons | Julie Ryan | 9 April 2018
Excerpt:
‘Food sensitivities aren’t the culprit for everyone, nor were/are they the only trigger for me. But, they are enough of a problem for enough of us that it’s definitely worth taking a look. The first thing to understand is that a food sensitivity is not the same as an allergy.’
You can subscribe to Julie’s newsletter and also connect with Julie on varying social mdia platforms too. Why not pay her a visit, have a chat, or even ask her a question?
Remember if you have dietry issues and severe problems it is best to visit your doctor to get checked out properly first, to eliminate any other possible causes.

Interesting! Topical Solution May Be Less Toxic Option for Patients with Noncancerous Skin Growth | GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences | 29 March 2018
Opening Line:
‘George Washington University researchers published a study on an FDA-approved topical solution for the treatment of seborrheic keratosis’
Read more via the link >>>
Wow! these things always happen just as I’ve had the procedure done already LOL only 3 months ago. I went for my review on Wednesday 4 April 2018.
‘A Topical solution may be have been less cytotoxic than the cryosurgery I had a couple of months ago to remove a 20 yr old, very large, seborrheic keratosis, from my left chest wall!?’
Typical!!
‘I must admit the worst part of the whole thing for me was the reaction from the sticky plasters I’d had to cover it with because I’d knocked it and it had torn the skin. Obviously did not wish to get it infected so had to keep it clean and change plasters until a week later when I knew it was likely to be removed.
The pain and inflammation, from the allergic reaction to the sticky stuff, caused me more pain and discomfort than the removal of the seborrheic keratosis using ‘cryosurgery’…
… and that stung a bit!
My skin in that region is now exceptionally sensitive, and tender to touch, even the friction from my clothing causes me problems.’
Carole Sian aka fibrofly73
This article asks a good question!

Very good thought process producing a very good question because I use it anways for similar purposes.
So why don’t they use peppermint oil as a natural way to calm the spasming which causes the pain?
I’ve had 2 sigmoidoscopies rather than colonoscopies and I believe that this treatment would also work for that. Both times I had a procedure done at the same time. The first one they removed 3 polyps the second they banded internal hemorrhoids
I use peppermint a lot as a treatment for my bowel / digestive disorders and find it helps a lot. Some people actually take peppermint capsules daily as a way to help with IBS as well for instance, which I have also used it for.
I also underwent STARR procedure 5 years ago and it could have helped then as well, don’t know why I didn’t think of it myself.
Personally, I think that it will have a lot to do with no-one being willing to accredit it as a treatment because it will be seen as a homeopathic remedy!

I was super excited to hear this after Ronny told me about how we almost met in Barcelona at the @eyeforpharma event because of his involvement within the video. However, he was busy at the ENETS 2018, also in Barca, the week before, where he’d been sponsored by INCA, and couldn’t make it.
Excellent achievement!
and Ronny! One day we will meet I’m sure!!
Thank you Ronny for all the work you do with #patientvoice 🙂

Which do you use? Self-care apps are booming | Sarah Perez @sarahintampa | TechCrunch | 2 April 2018
Opening paragraph:
‘Millennials may be a bit obsessed with self-care — and it’s beginning to pay off for the makers of self-care and digital wellness apps. According to data from multiple app store intelligence firms, the category is now seeing notable growth. In the first quarter of 2018, the top 10 grossing self-care apps in the U.S. earned $15 million in combined iOS and Android revenue, and $27 million in worldwide revenue, according to Sensor Tower.’

Every morning and evening I was posting several links to a variety of online newspapers and thought that maybe I could post twice a day from here, our website/blog, Morning and Evening Post instead.
This is to ensure that all the news and stories go out to everyone that follows us across the social media platforms that we have profiles/accounts.
Here’s a few links to my favourite online newspapers for finding a variety of health related news from other Chronic Illness Bloggers & Warriors, for up to date news about health conditions such as latest research papers or people sharing hints and tips about how they cope day-to-day.
Let us help them by showing our support by sharing the news and stories that they share.
