			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Arteriovenous malformation is what the letters AVM stands for. An AVM is a tangle of poorly formed and abnormal veins and arteries (blood vessels). An AVM has a higher rate of bleeding than normal blood vessels.</p>
<p>A brain AVM is when this occurs in your brain. It is an abnormal connection between veins and arteries in your brain that disrupts the normal flow of blood between these blood vessels.</p>
<p>Fortunately, a brain AVM is extremely rare. They happen in less than 1% of the general population of the United States.</p>
<p>Researchers believe that a brain AVM takes place during the development of a baby inside its mother’s womb. However, researchers do not know why this happens to some babies but not others.</p>
<p>There are risk factors that may increase your likelihood of having a brain AVM. Anyone can be born with a brain AVM, but boys are more likely to have one than girls. Signs and symptoms are more likely to happen before the age of 50. This is because a brain AVM tends to stay stable once you reach middle age. Pregnancy may begin or cause signs and symptoms to get worse in women because there is an increase in blood volume and flow during this time.</p>
<p>A brain AVM many times does not cause any signs or symptoms until it ruptures, and there is hemorrhage (bleeding) in your brain. There are several signs and symptoms that may be an indication that you have a brain AVM. Some of these are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Loss      of consciousness or collapse</li>
<li>Sudden      onset of a severe headache</li>
<li>Seizures</li>
<li>Some      type of motor paralysis</li>
<li>Sensory      disturbance</li>
<li>Vomiting</li>
<li>Nausea</li>
<li>A      pulsing noise in your head</li>
<li>Severe      unsteadiness</li>
<li>A      whooshing sound that can be heard when your skull is examined with a      stethoscope</li>
<li>Numbness      or weakness that is progressive</li>
<li>Problems      with your speech</li>
<li>An      inability to understand others.</li>
</ul>
<p>You or a loved one may have a brain AVM. This malformation and/or complications resulting from or other conditions along with it may be why you or your loved one is disabled. A brain AVM may be why you are not able to work.</p>
<p>If this is your situation, you may need assistance. You may need financial help.</p>
<p>You or your loved one may have decided to apply for the financial assistance that you need from the Social Security Administration by applying for Social Security <a href="http://www.socialsecurityhome.com/disabilitybenefits.htm"title="Benefits of S.S." >disability benefit</a>s or disability benefits. In fact, you may have already done this and been denied by the Social Security Administration.</p>
<p>If you or your loved one plans on appealing the denial by the Social Security Administration, here is something for you to consider. People who have a <a href="http://www.socialsecurityhome.com/resourcesp3.htm"title="Disability Claim Lawyer" >disability lawyer</a> like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com are approved more often than people who are not represented by a <a href="http://www.socialsecurityhome.com/whyuselawyer.htm"title="SSD Attorney" >disability attorney</a>.</p>
<p>Please do not delay. Contact the disability lawyer at socialsecurityhome.com, today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vasculitis is a wide, sweeping term that refers to a group of uncommon diseases that are evidenced by inflammation of your blood vessels. Your vascular system refers to the blood vessels of your body. Your blood vessels are composed of arteries that carry oxygen-rich blood to your body’s tissues, and veins that return oxygen-depleted blood from your tissues to your lungs for oxygen. Vasculitis is marked by inflammation in and damage to the walls of various blood vessels in your body.</p>
<p>Each one of this group of diseases is characterized by distribution of blood vessel involvement, certain patterns of particular organ involvement and laboratory test abnormalities. As a group, these diseases are referred to as vasculitides.</p>
<p>Allergic Vasculitis is one of the many types of vasculitis. It is hypersensitivity to a foreign substance or drug. This results in damage and inflammation to the blood vessels of your skin.</p>
<p>Fortunately, allergic vasculitis is a rare disease. It affects about 6 in every 100,000 people in the United States. Most of the people with this disease are over the age of 15.</p>
<p>Allergic vasculitis is also referred to by other names. It is also called hypersensitivity vasculitis, leukocytoclastic vasculitis and cutaneous vasculitis.</p>
<p>As mentioned earlier, allergic vasculitis is caused by an allergic reaction or hypersensitivity to a drug or another foreign substance. However, even with a complete medical history, no one knows what causes this hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to take place.</p>
<p>There are several signs and symptoms that you may have with allergic vasculitis. Some of these are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Open      sores with dead tissue (necrotic ulcers)</li>
<li>Skin      lesions that are usually found on your buttocks, trunk or legs</li>
<li>Hives      (urticaria) that may remain for more than a day</li>
<li>Blisters      on your skin</li>
<li>The      appearance of red or purple discolorations on your skin.</li>
</ul>
<p>You or a loved one may be suffering with allergic vasculitis. This disease and/or complications resulting from or other conditions along with it may be the reason for you or your loved one’s disability. It may be why you need financial help.</p>
<p>Where will the financial assistance that you need come from? Who can and will help you?</p>
<p>Have you or your loved one thought about applying for the financial assistance that you need from the Social Security Administration by applying for Social Security <a href="http://www.socialsecurityhome.com/disabilitybenefits.htm"title="Benefits of S.S." >disability benefit</a>s or disability benefits because of the disability caused by allergic vasculitis and/or complications resulting from or other conditions along with this disease? Have you or your loved one already taken this step and been denied by the Social Security Administration?</p>
<p>If you or your loved one has decided to appeal the denial by the Social Security Administration, you need to remember this. People who are represented by a <a href="http://www.socialsecurityhome.com/whyuselawyer.htm"title="SSD Attorney" >disability attorney</a> like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com are approved more often than people who do not have a <a href="http://www.socialsecurityhome.com/resourcesp3.htm"title="Disability Claim Lawyer" >disability lawyer</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you say the word, “angina” most people immediately think of pain in the chest.  They think of pain related to the heart. Angina, however, can refer to other parts of your body.</p>
<p>There are also other types of angina that are not directly related to your heart. However, when you say the word most people think of chest pain and the heart.</p>
<p>The angina related to your heart is angina pectoris, or most commonly referred to just as angina. Angina is a Latin word that refers to a painful constriction or tightness somewhere in your body. Angina pectoris is pain in your chest that results from ischemia (a lack of blood and hence oxygen supply) of your heart muscle due to spasm or obstruction of your coronary arteries (the heart&#8217;s blood vessels).</p>
<p>People commonly equate the severity of angina pectoris with the risk of a fatal heart attack. There is a weak relationship between severity of pain and the degree of oxygen deprivation in your heart muscle. In other words, you can have severe angina pectoris with little or no risk of a heart attack. On the other hand, you can have little or no angina pectoris and have a heart attack.</p>
<p>Angina pectoris is classified in two ways. It is classified as stable or unstable angina.</p>
<p>Unstable angina pectoris is usually grouped with similar medical conditions like acute coronary syndrome pain. Some of the ways that unstable angina pectoris can affect you are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pain that gets worse and worse, which is called, “crescendo” angina</li>
<li>Sudden-onset angina while resting</li>
<li>Pain that lasts for more than 15 minutes are symptoms of unstable angina.</li>
</ul>
<p>These symptoms require immediate medical attention, and are usually treated like a presumed heart attack.</p>
<p>Stable angina pectoris refers to the more common understanding of angina related to a lack of blood supply and oxygen of your heart muscle. Some of its effects are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Chest discomfort</li>
<li>Tightness</li>
<li>Heaviness</li>
<li>Pressure</li>
<li>Burning, squeezing</li>
<li>Choking Sensation</li>
<li>Pain in jaw, back, shoulders, arms or neck.</li>
</ul>
<p>These effects are usually brought on by some activity (running, walking, etc) with minimal or non-existent symptoms at rest. These indications usually go away several minutes following stopping the precipitating activities and begin again when activity resumes.</p>
<p>You may be unable to work because of angina pectoris. It is important to remember that whatever underlying condition is causing your angina pectoris is the real cause of your disability. Angina pectoris is the main symptom that you are experiencing.</p>
<p>You may need help. You may need financial help.</p>
<p>Have you applied for Social Security <a href="http://www.socialsecurityhome.com/disabilitybenefits.htm"title="Benefits of S.S." >disability benefit</a>s from the Social Security Administration and been denied? If you plan on appealing the denial, remember this. People who are represented by a caring <a href="http://www.socialsecurityhome.com/whyuselawyer.htm"title="SSD Attorney" >disability attorney</a> are approved more often than those people without a lawyer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have an aneurysm anywhere in your body, you will probably experience lightheadedness, swelling, high heart rate and low blood pressure. An aneurysm may also effect you be causing weakness and pain.</p>
<p>The effects caused by an aneurysm may prevent you from working, as they may cause you to be unable to stand or even sit for any length of time. An aneurysm may be the reason for you or your loved one’s disability.</p>
<p>You or your loved one may be in need of help. You may need financial aid.</p>
<p>You or your loved one may wonder if you would be eligible to receive Social Security <a href="http://www.socialsecurityhome.com/disabilitybenefits.htm"title="Benefits of S.S." >disability benefit</a>s or disability benefits because of the disability caused by an aneurysm.</p>
<p>A wise <a href="http://www.socialsecurityhome.com/whyuselawyer.htm"title="SSD Attorney" >disability attorney</a> at socialsecurityhome.com is the one who can best advise you about this matter.</p>
<p>Here is some information about aneurysms before we get into your <a href="http://www.socialsecurityhome.com/disabilityblog/2006/11/30/social-security-disability-4/"title="SS Disability" >Social Security disability</a> case.</p>
<p>The word “aneurysm” comes from the Greek meaning, “a widening”. An aneurysm refers to a blood vessel that becomes abnormally large or balloons outward. Wherever an aneurysm occurs, your blood vessel bulges like a weak spot on an old worn tire. The bulge in your blood vessel can burst at any time and lead to death. The larger an aneurysm becomes, the more likely it is to burst.</p>
<p>Aneurysms occur most commonly in arteries at the base of your brain or in the aorta. This is the main artery coming out of your heart. This type of an aneurysm is called an aortic aneurysm. However, an aneurysm can also occur in your brain, neck, spleen, heart, intestine and back of your thighs and knees, as well as other parts of your body.</p>
<p>Most of the time an aneurysm happens in your aorta. If it takes place in your chest, an aneurysm is called a thoracic aortic aneurysm. If an aneurysm takes place in your abdomen it is called an abdominal aortic aneurysm.</p>
<p>Have you or your loved one already applied for <a href="http://www.socialsecurityhome.com/disabilitybenefits.htm"title="Disability Benefits" >Social Security disability benefits</a> or disability benefits from the Social Security Administration because of an aneurysm and been denied? Are you wondering what to do now? Do you know your options?</p>
<p>You or your loved one may be thinking about appealing the denial by the Social Security Administration. If you do, here is something that you need to know.</p>
<p>You or your loved one will need a smart <a href="http://www.socialsecurityhome.com/resourcesp3.htm"title="Disability Claim Lawyer" >disability lawyer</a> like the one at socialsecurityhome.com to assist and help you in this process. This is true because people who are represented by a skilled disability attorney are approved more often than those people who do not have a lawyer.</p>
<p>Do not hesitate. Do not delay. This is something that may affect you or your loved one for the rest of your life. Contact the trusted disability attorney at socialsecurityhome.com, today.</p>
