Wenliang Chen, MD, PhD. The main function of a peritoneal dialysis catheter is to permit consistent bidirectional flow of dialysate without extraordinary effort or undue discomfort [1]. 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.
The idea that overactive nerves cause the muscle pain of fibromyalgia is different from scientistsâ understanding of many other common pain conditions. For example, the pain of rheumatoid arthritis comes from inflammation.he CNS is made up of the brain, the spinal cord and the nerves that control physical activities. For fibromyalgia patients, this possible problem in the central nervous system may lead to a greater sensitivity to pain. Itâs almost as if the âvolume controlâ for pain is turned way up.
