The catheter's function depends upon its design, implantation site, and the configuration of the system used to perform dialysis exchanges.
* My, which means muscle. * Algia, which means pain. Fibromyalgia is a common medical condition that can involve discomfort all over the body. It can also involve other symptoms such as chronic tiredness and lack of concentration that can make life for the individual uncomfortable. Some people may be tempted to use alcohol as a means of escaping the discomfort. This is never a good idea because drinking can actually exacerbate the symptoms of fibromyalgia.
A culmination of these researches has led to a strong hypothesis that reduced consumption of alcohol and excititoxins can be very instrumental in reducing the painful symptoms of FMS. A research study carried out at the University of Florida investigated alcohol intake in relation to the symptoms of FMS and chronic insomnia. Patients with and without chronic insomnia were used for the study which applied an MRI to evaluate the differences in the hippocampus of patients and the influence of alcohol on other pain and insomnia-related health challenges.
