Upon graduation from high school, there is no doubt that you will surely start your tertiary education in college or university. At age twenty, children will not be covered by health insurance of their parents and this can be disastrous if they are merely study and do not do part-time job. Some universities or colleges may have insurance plan offered to students. These insurance may not answer all your needs but you need to be meticulously considered it.

Most of the universities and colleges offer student health insurance plans. These plans should absolutely be at reasonable price, and can give you the school’s nearest hospitals. This option is one that you should definitely think of, if your son or daughter is enrolled in a college far away from home.

College health care scheme may vary from college to college due to laws and some other factors. Many students may think medical services are free of charge, but it is not always true. In term of clinic visit or routine checkups they may be free, however students still require to pay for special kinds of lab tests and other specialties such as x-rays, prescriptions, and a wound treatment. Compensation usually covers some types of service stated in the health care offered at college health centre. When you are referred to see an outside doctor, then the coverage will cover only 70% of your total expense and you are at risk to pay high medical cost.

You may have a problem getting treatment at the campus health centre if you have pre-existing condition. Having a pre-existing condition or illness does not mean to prevent you from obtaining health insurance plan, but you may not be eligible to have your treatment on your pre-existing condition. It can be troublesome if your new symptoms develop from a pre-existing one.

Health schemes are different, so be sure you find out everything about your health insurance plans. Be sure that your health plan stretch to summer break when you or your child do not take classes. This is vital for you because you don’t want to find out that your health care does not cover when you need it most. Some college health insurances may not cover during summer break, while others do.

Be certain that you study your plan thoroughly. Is it an HMO, or can the member utilise any service provider they went? This is critical. You need to know where you can go in case of emergency, and there is nothing worse than discovering that you will have to pay off the bill yourself.

There is no definitive solution to whether you should or should not commit yourself to college health insurance. Be certain that you study your plan thoroughly so that it answer to your need when you need it most. Although there is no free health insurance scheme, surely it will save you a lot of money in time of illness or accident.

By Kristin Thorson

Nearly 100,000 veterans of the first Gulf War have chronic musculoskeletal pain that significantly impairs their function. It’s been more than 15 years since these dedicated veterans with Gulf War Illness (GWI) returned from the war and their symptoms persist without a valid explanation.

Dane B. Cook, Ph.D., at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, says that only a “dearth of experimental research directed at pain” has been conducted in GWI, but he suggests that “insight can be gained from research on civilians with fibromyalgia.” Cook says that there are some differences between the Gulf veterans with chronic pain and people with fibromyalgia. Most predominately, GWI tends to occur in men exposed to the chemically harsh environment of war while those with fibromyalgia are mostly women whose symptom onset is highly variable but not war-related. What causes or triggers the onset of these two conditions may differ, but what sustains the pain in GWI and fibromyalgia may be very similar processes, according to a series of experiments by Cook.1

Brief and vigorous exercise in healthy young individuals is known to lead to reduced pain sensitivity, often referred to as the “runner’s high”. However, the opposite occurred in people with fibromyalgia who were asked to ride 30 minutes on a stationary bicycle.2 Cook proposed that veterans with GWI who also had widespread pain similar to fibromyalgia would rate a 30-minute bout of submaximal bicycling exercise as more intense, more painful, and would be more sensitive to pain stimuli when compared to healthy veterans who also served in the first Persian Gulf war. Both groups were physically fit when they were deployed, but upon their return, the GWI group had many unexplained symptoms, including widespread pain.

The recruitment of male research participants who served in the first Persian Gulf war was based on whether they had widespread pain that could not be explained by another illness (such as rheumatoid arthritis). Veterans with regional pain and injuries were also excluded from the study along with rheumatoid arthritis and similar diseases. Eleven participants were classified as having GWI with unexplained widespread pain and 16 met the criteria for the healthy controls.

“Despite exercising at a lower power output, Gulf veterans with chronic musculoskeletal pain still became more sensitive to experimental pain stimuli postexercise,” states Cook and colleagues. Leg muscle-pain intensity ratings increased throughout the exercise bout in both groups, but the GWI group with chronic widespread pain reported higher pain ratings that ramped up at a faster rate than the healthy group.

“A significant number of military personnel are no longer able to perform their duties due to multiple symptoms including pain, fatigue, and cognitive troubles,” writes Cook. He emphasizes that pain is just one of three factors describing GWI, but considering the lack of experimental data on this condition, Cook adds, “we modeled the design of the present study on similar research conducted in fibromyalgia.” The reasons for this are rather straightforward. Psychophysical testing of experimental pain in fibromyalgia has provided strong evidence of abnormal pain processing and now establishes a foundation for future studies that are likely to produce more evidence of abnormal functioning in GWI.

Based on findings in fibromyalgia, the present study suggests a failure of the pain regulatory system in the spinal cord. This would be expected to lead to increases in naturally occurring muscle pain during exercise and exaggerated central nervous system sensitivity following exercise. Repetitive stimulation of the painful sensory receptors in the peripheral muscles during physical exertion is likely the mechanism by which the chronic musculoskeletal pain is maintained in GWI. This is a similar phenomenon observed in a predominantly female population of fibromyalgia patients.

“Exercise research in chronic muscle-pain patients has brought an interesting paradox to light,” writes Cook. “Acute exercise appears to exacerbate pain while chronic exercise can reduce pain and improve other symptoms associated with chronic pain.”

Last year at the American Pain Society meeting, Cook demonstrated that mild bicycling at an easy level of resistance produced improvements in pain for people with fibromyalgia. More recently, Kevin Fontaine, M.D., of Johns Hopkins University, showed that a prescription for 30 minutes of “lifestyle physical activity,” or LPA, up to five days per week significantly reduced pain and improved overall function compared to a group of fibromyalgia patients who attended a series of educational sessions. Daytime fatigue scores and mood remained unchanged for both groups.3

The subjects in the LPA group were instructed to incorporate five to seven bouts of additional daily activities, such as walking, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, housework, gardening, or anything else that gets them moving for a few minutes. The level or intensity of the activity should increase breathing demands but not so much that a person cannot hold a conversation. Initially, the patients began at 15 minutes per day of LPA and worked to 30 minutes by the fifth week (i.e., increasing 5 minutes per week). All subjects wore a waist-mounted pedometer to record the number of steps they took each day and to determine if patients were following instructions.

Before the study, fibromyalgia patients averaged 3,800 steps per day. At the end of the 12-week study, the LPA group increased to an average of 5,800 steps per day, representing a 54 percent increase. Unlike most treatment interventions involving exercise, the dropout rate for the LPA group was small (13 percent) and it was the same as the education group used as a comparison.

“One thing seems clear from the fibromyalgia literature,” writes Fontaine, “people with fibromyalgia have difficulty adhering to exercise. Indeed, in fibromyalgia clinical exercise trials dropout rates often nearly exceed 30 percent, suggesting that developing exercise interventions that can be sustained is perhaps as important a goal as finding the particular interventions that produce optimal benefits.”

What causes Fibromyalgia (FM)?  There is no ONE known cause for Fibromyalgia, but researchers are discovering new information about this condition and it may not be long before we have a more definitive answer.  There seems to be a number of factors involved.  Researchers are focusing mainly on:  autonomic nervous system dysfunction, chronic sleep disorders, emotional stress or trauma, immune or endocrine system dysfunction, upper spinal cord injury and viral or bacterial infection as causes of FM.

Exciting new research has also begun in the areas of brain imaging and neurosurgery. Ongoing research will test the hypothesis that FM is caused by an interpretative defect in the central nervous system that brings about abnormal pain perception. Medical researchers have just begun to untangle the truths about this life-altering disease.
 
Substance P – Recent studies have shown that people with FM process pain differently.  There is a chemical in our cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) called Substance P that transmits pain impulses to the brain.  Substance P has been found to be 3 times higher in Fibromyalgia sufferers than the average person.  This can increase our pain perception and make it more intense.

fMRI – Research has also shown that FM patients  are not only more sensitive to pain, but that the pain also effects the mood centers in the brain in a way that it does not in healthy individuals.  This data has been proven through a brain scan called functional magnetic resonance imaging or fMRI, which allows researchers to observe the brain’s responses to pain in healthy people versus FM patients.

Trauma – Some scientists believe that FM is caused by a traumatic event like a fall, a car accident, lifting something incorrectly, etc.  My Fibromyalgia worsened after the birth of my son. The pregnancy was rough and the delivery was LONG and INTENSE. I believe that is where most of my hip trouble started. Suddenly, I couldn’t walk without one of my hips feeling like it was about to pop out of its socket. Other symptoms worsened as well.

Sleep – Other researchers believe Fibromyalgia is caused by chronic sleep problems.  It is during stage 4 sleep that the body renews itself and muscles recover from the activity.  Sleep studies show that as people with FM enter stage 4 sleep, they stay in a lighter form of sleep. You may sleep longer, but your quality of sleep is poor. In one study, researchers took healthy volunteers and did not allow them to enter into stage 4 sleep, these people  developed symptoms similar to those of fibromyalgia.

Genetics – Some scientists speculate that a person’s genes may regulate the way his or her body processes painful stimuli.  This theory suggests that people with fibromyalgia may have a gene or genes that cause them to react intensely to stimuli that most people would not consider painful. Also, a history of FM or related diseases seem to run in families.  For instance, my mother, grandmother, aunts & cousin all have fibromyalgia and some of us have chronic myofascial pain & other associated disorders.  Back when their grandmother had it, she didn’t know what it was.  She commonly referred to it as “my rheumatism”.

Infection – Some researchers believe that a viral or bacterial infection may trigger fibromyalgia.

Serotonin – Serotonin is a brain nerve chemical and is found to be lower in FM patients. It is one of the major neurotransmitters in the body. It affects sleep, pain thresholds, vascular constriction (narrowing of the blood vessels resulting from contracting of the muscular wall of the vessels. When blood vessels constrict, the flow of blood is restricted or slowed as well as dilation, hunger and libido. It also plays a prominent role in depression, anxiety, and possibly obsessive-compulsive disorders. That is why SSRI’s (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) are popular in treating Fibromyalgia.

Low Growth Hormone Levels -  IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1) is a hormone that is controlled by the adult growth hormone, and promotes bone and muscle growth.  Low levels of this hormone are related to a diminished ability to think, lack of energy, muscle weakness, and extreme sensitivity to cold. Severe growth hormone deficiency has been seen in a subset of Fibromyalgia patients. More research is needed but a  2005 study indicates that serum growth hormone levels may be an indicator of the FM.

I believe that with today’s technology and ongoing, aggressive research, we will have a definitive answer to the causes of the chronic pain condition we call Fibromyalgia within the next decade or sooner.  As it becomes more recognized by the medical community and the average person, more research funding will be provided, better tests will be discovered and our lives will be bettered!  Look at the progress that has been made in the last decade!  Let’s look forward and see a brighter future!

 

Erica Thompson is a 40-year-old, Stay-at-Home mom with 3 children and a husband in the military. She was diagnosed with FMS in 1995, but suffered from it many years prior to diagnosis and later, diagnosed with Myofascial Pain Syndrome. She has done extensive research and is an expert based on her own experience, her mother’s and her grandmother’s. Her goal is to educate as many people as she can about FMS and all that goes with it. Mostly, she just wants to make FMS sufferers’ lives better – even just a little bit.
