Barbeau’s Disease and Receiving Social Security Disability

Sunday, September 11th, 2011

Muscular dystrophy is a term that is used to designate a group of hereditary, genetic muscle diseases. These diseases lead to progressive muscle weakness in the muscles that enable you to move.

Muscular dystrophy means that you have missing or incorrect information in your genes. There are certain proteins that you need in order to have healthy muscles. Muscular dystrophy keeps these proteins from being produced. Muscular dystrophy is something that you inherit from your parents. It is not contagious. You cannot “catch it” from someone who has it.

Muscular dystrophy causes your muscles to get weak over time. People who are afflicted with muscular dystrophy may gradually lose the ability to do things that most of us take for granted like walking or sitting up. These problems that are caused by muscular dystrophy can begin at birth or shortly after. However, they can also take place later on in childhood, adolescence or adulthood.

There are several different forms of muscular dystrophy that affect different muscle groups in different ways. Barbeau’s disease is one of the kinds of muscular dystrophy.

Barbeau’s disease is usually an adult form of the disease. The onset of Barbeau’s disease is usually when you are in your 40s or 50s. It can even occur up to around the age of 70.

Little was known about what causes any kind of muscular dystrophy until the 1980s. Then, researchers found out that it is caused by a mutated (defective) gene. There is an insufficient amount of dystrophin because of the defective gene. Dystrophin is a protein that aids in keeping your muscle cells intact. In the case of Barbeau’s disease, there is a faulty gene that is believed to make extra chemical material that causes the development of clumps in your muscle cells.

Barbeau’s disease progresses slowly. The first sign or symptom of Barbeau’s disease is usually muscle weakness of your throat and eyelids. You may have difficulty swallowing. Your may have trouble keeping your eyes open or with drooping eyelids.

As Barbeau’s disease advances, you may have other signs and symptoms. Some of these include:

  • Characteristic face
  • Progressive muscle weakness in your limbs
  • Progressive weakness in your facial muscles
  • Progressive ptosis (drooping of your eyelids)
  • Weakness and wasting (loss of muscle tissue) of your tongue.

Dystrophia Myotonica and Receiving Social Security Disability

Image via Wikipedia

Muscular dystrophy refers to a group of genetic (hereditary) muscle diseases. Progressive muscle weakness in your muscles that enable your body to move is what characterizes these diseases.

Muscular dystrophy involves incorrect or missing information in your genes. Proteins are stopped from being produced that are needed for healthy muscles. Muscular dystrophy is a disease that is passed down to you from your parents. It is not something that you can catch from someone who has it. Muscular dystrophy is not contagious.

Muscular dystrophy weakens your muscles with the passage of time. You may gradually lose your ability to do things that most people do not even think about, like sitting up or walking. These difficulties may have originated when you were a baby, or they can start in childhood, adolescence or adulthood.

There are several different kinds of muscular dystrophy that affect different muscle groups in different ways. Dystrophia myotonica is one of the forms of this disease.

Dystrophia myotonica is the most common kind of muscular dystrophy that starts in adulthood. It usually develops between the ages of 20 and 40. However, there is an infantile form of dystrophia myotonica. In fact, this disease can begin at any age from birth to old age.

Until the 1980s, there was not much known about what causes any type of muscular dystrophy. Then, researchers discovered that muscular dystrophy is caused by a defective gene. Not enough dystrophin is made because of the faulty gene. Dystrophin is a protein that helps keep your muscle cells intact. In the case of dystrophia myotonica, there is a repeated section of DNA on either chromosome 3 or chromosome 19.

The progression of dystrophia myotonica is slow. The disease can span 50 to 60 years.

The first signs and symptoms of dystrophia myotonica are usually generalized weakness and loss of muscle tissue (muscle wasting) in your hands, forearms, lower legs, face and neck. This is in conjunction with difficulty relaxing muscles after contracting them. Other signs and symptoms that you may experience are:

  • Mild diabetes
  • Difficulty breathing and swallowing
  • Frontal balding in men
  • Dizziness or fainting
  • Inability to concentrate
  • Problems with your digestive tract like diarrhea and constipation
  • Daytime sleepiness
  • Difficulty sleeping well at night
  • Clouding of the lenses of your eyes (cataracts).

You or your loved one may have decided to apply for the financial help that you need from the Social Security Administration by applying for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits because of the disability that has resulted from dystrophia myotonica and/or complications that have been brought about by it or other ailments that you have in conjunction with this disease. You may have already applied and been denied by the Social Security Administration.

Pulseless Disease and Receiving Social Security Disability Benefits

Friday, August 26th, 2011
LAO angiographic of Takaysu Arteritis taken fr...

Image via Wikipedia

Vasculitis is a large inclusive medical term for a class of uncommon diseases that are characterized by inflammation of your blood vessels. Your vascular system is composed of the blood vessels of your body.

In turn, your blood vessels are made up of arteries that transport oxygen-rich blood to the tissues and cells of your body. Your vascular system is also composed of veins that take oxygen-depleted blood from your tissues to your lungs to get more oxygen.

Vasculitis is marked by inflammation in and damage to the walls of different blood vessels in your body. Each one of this category of diseases is distinguished 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.

Pulseless disease is a rare kind of vasculitis. Your aorta is the large artery that takes blood from your heart to the rest of your body. If you have pulseless disease, your aorta is hurt by inflammation. Pulseless disease also causes inflammation in the main branches of your aorta.

Pulseless disease is known by other names. It is also referred to as Takayasu’s arteritis and aortic arch syndrome.

Dr. Mikito Takayasu was the one who first described this syndrome. He described it in 1908.

Pulseless disease can take place in anyone, at any age, and this disease takes place in all races. Having said that, pulseless disease develops most often in Asian women who are between the ages of 15 and 30. In fact, women are 8 to 9 times more prone to develop pulseless disease than men are.

The cause of pulseless disease in not known at this time. Researchers think that it may be an autoimmune disease. An autoimmune disease is one in which your immune system that attacks anything foreign that invades your body, for some unknown reason, attacks healthy tissues and cells of your own body.

There are some signs and symptoms that are characteristic of pulseless disease in its early stages. Some of these that you may experience include:

Ÿ  Weight loss that is fast and unintentional

Ÿ  Night sweats

Ÿ  Muscle or joint pain

Ÿ  Skin rash

Ÿ  Fatigue

Ÿ  Abdominal pain

Ÿ  Occasional low-grade fever.

As pulseless disease advances and progresses, it may result in the narrowing of your arteries. Then, you may also begin to experience other signs and symptoms. Some of these are:

Ÿ  A feeling of weakness that comes about from mild anemia

Ÿ  Absent or diminished pulse in your wrists

Ÿ  Disturbances that occur in your vision

Ÿ  Blood pressure that is not the same in each one of your arms

Ÿ  High blood pressure in your lung arteries that can result in shortness of breath and fatigue (pulmonary hypertension)

Ÿ  High blood pressure (hypertension)

Ÿ  Dizziness

Ÿ  Notching of your upper ribs

Ÿ  Atrophy of your facial skin

Ÿ  Pigmentation of your facial skin

Ÿ  Chest pain

Ÿ  Transient weakness on one side of your body

Ÿ  Weakness or pain in your arm when you use it (claudication)

Ÿ  Increased gamma globulin levels in your blood

Ÿ  Headaches and lightheadedness.

Pulseless disease, along with complications that have resulted from it or other disorders that you may have in conjunction with this disease, may be the reason why you are incapacitated and cannot work. Because of this, you may have applied for financial help from the Social Security Administration by filing for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits.

Did the Social Security Administration turn down your application? Did you file an appeal? Was it denied, also? Are you trying to decide what you should do now?

Histotoxic Anoxia and Receiving Social Security Disability

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

Anoxia is a condition that is characterized by an absence of oxygen supply to a tissue or an organ. This is in spite of there being an adequate amount of blood flow to that organ or tissue.

Hypoxia is a condition that is evidenced by a decrease in oxygen to an organ or a tissue. Again, as with anoxia, this takes place in spite of there being an adequate blood flow to that tissue or organ.

Anoxia and hypoxia are often used interchangeably. This is in spite of the fact that they refer to conditions that are similar but different. Hypoxia refers to a condition that involves a decrease in oxygen reaching a tissue or an organ, while anoxia refers to a condition in which there is no oxygen reaching an organ or a tissue.

There are five different forms of anoxia. They are stagnant anoxia, anemic anoxia, anoxic anoxia, affinity anoxia and histotoxic anoxia.

Histotoxic anoxia is anoxia that develops in spite of the fact that your body is receiving an adequate amount of oxygen. The problem is that your body is not able to use the oxygen because of physiological difficulties that are occurring at a cellular level.

Histotoxic anoxia is usually brought about by exposure to toxic substances. This can include things like acetone, toluene, formaldehyde and certain anesthetic agents.

Histotoxic anoxia may result from substance abuse. This can be things like the excessive drinking of alcohol or excessive use of narcotics.

In other instances, histotoxic anoxia can be caused by exposure in poorly controlled or insufficiently ventilated areas to poisonous gases or chemicals like cyanide poisoning, carbon monoxide poisoning or poison gas attack. In these instances, the ability of the hemoglobin in your blood to carry, bind and release oxygen are inhibited by these poisonous substances.

There are also several other things that can lead to histotoxic anoxia. These are things that may result in all of the various kinds of anoxia, in addition to histotoxic anoxia. Some of these include:

Ÿ  Cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat)

Ÿ  Electrical shock

Ÿ  Brain tumors

Ÿ  Respiratory disorders that interfere with your breathing

Ÿ  Compression of your trachea

Ÿ  Respiratory arrest

Ÿ  Suffocation

Ÿ  Extremely low blood pressure (hypotension)

Ÿ  Near Drowning

Ÿ  Choking

Ÿ  A heart attack (myocardial infarction).

There are several signs and symptoms that you may have, which may be an indication of histotoxic anoxia. Some of these include:

Ÿ  Numbness

Ÿ  Limp muscles

Ÿ  Headache

Ÿ  Tingling in your fingers or toes

Ÿ  A dizzy or lightheaded sensation

Ÿ  Cyanosis (your fingernails and lips looking blue)

Ÿ  Impairment in your judgment

Ÿ  Being drowsy

Ÿ  Impairment in your vision

Ÿ  A decrease in your reaction time

Ÿ  A feeling of euphoria

Ÿ  Confusion

Ÿ  Coma

Ÿ  Difficulty with your memory

Ÿ  Difficulty with movement

Ÿ  Loss of consciousness.

The diagnosis of histotoxic anoxia is usually made on the basis of you displaying the clinical signs and symptoms of this condition. If your doctor thinks it is needed, there are diagnostic tests and procedures that can be used to help confirm a diagnosis of histotoxic anoxia. The particular test that you would undergo is usually determined by the suspected cause of your histotoxic anoxia.

 

Has histotoxic anoxia and/or complications that have arisen from it or whatever the underlying cause of the condition is caused your disability? Is histotoxic anoxia keeping you from working.

As a result, do you need financial assistance. Have you applied for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits from the Social Security Administration? Was your application denied by the Social Security Administration?

If you are wondering what to do now, your really ought to go to socialsecurityhome.com. The lawyer at socialsecurityhome.com knows what to do. The attorney at socialsecurityhome.com will be on your side. Do not hesitate. Call socialsecurityhome.com, today.

Variant Angina and Receiving Social Security Disability Benefits

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011
Basic illustration of positioning of aorta, pu...

Image via Wikipedia

The word “angina” probably causes you to think of your heart and chest pain. However, angina is a word that can refer to pain in other parts of your body, also.

For example, Ludwig’s angina is a serious, potentially life-threatening infection of the tissues of the floor of your mouth. Abdominal angina is a type of angina that is used in reference to postprandial abdominal pain that occurs in people when there is not enough blood flow to take care of your mesenteric visceral demands.

However, in spite of those types of angina that were just mentioned, when you hear the word “angina,” it is probably chest pain and your heart that comes to your mind. The form of angina that has to do with chest pain and your heart is known as angina pectoris.

Variant angina is a kind of angina that involves chest pain and your heart. As the name implies, variant angina is a variant form of angina pectoris.

Variant angina is a syndrome that is usually characterized by angina (heart chest pain) that develops while you are at rest. Variant angina is heart chest pain that takes place in cycles while you are resting.

Variant angina affects about 4 out of every 100,000 people in the United States. Even though variant angina may occur in anyone at any time, most of the time it develops in people who smoke, have high cholesterol or have high blood pressure (hypertension).

Men get variant angina far more often than women do. In fact, 70 to 90% of the people with variant angina are men.

Variant angina is known by other names. It is also called Prinzmetal’s angina, angina inversa and coronary artery spasm. Once again, it is a variant type of angina pectoris.

It should be understood that variant angina is not a disease or an ailment. Variant angina is a sign or symptom of an underlying ailment or disease that is causing it to occur. In fact, variant angina may very well be the primary indication of whatever that underlying condition is.

Variant angina is caused by something that is called vasospasm. Vasospasm is a narrowing of your coronary arteries that results from the contraction of the smooth muscle tissue in your vessel walls rather than being caused by atherosclerosis (buildup of fatty plaque and hardening of the arteries).

The primary sign or symptom of variant angina is chest pain. This is chest pain that usually takes place while you are at rest, rather than with exertion. These attacks of chest pain usually develop at night. The pain caused by variant angina may:

Ÿ  Be relieved by taking nitroglycerin

Ÿ  Cause fainting or a loss of consciousness

Ÿ  Develop most often while you are resting

Ÿ  Take place at the same time each day, which is usually between 12:00 midnight and 8:00 AM

Ÿ  Be located under your breast bone

Ÿ  Continue for a period of time lasting anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes

Ÿ  Be described as crushing, pressure, squeezing, constricting, or tightness

Ÿ  Be severe and radiate (move) to your arm, shoulder, jaw or neck.

Are you disabled and prevented from being able to work because of the underlying disease or ailment and/or complications that have come about from whatever it is that has caused your variant angina. If this is true, do you need financial help?

Have you applied for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits from the Social Security Administration? Was your application turned down by the Social Security Administration?

The attorney at socialsecurityhome.com can help you as you seek after Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits from the Social Security Administration. Do not waste time. Go to socialsecurityhome.com. Socialsecurityhome.com is the place that can help.

Kahler’s Disease and Receiving Social Security Disability

Sunday, August 14th, 2011
Human bone marrow.

Image via Wikipedia

Cancer begins in your cells. Your cells are the basic building blocks of your body. Old cells die when they are supposed to, and new cells replace them as you need them if your body is working properly. However, your body may not work like it should. Old cells may not die like they ought to, and new cells are formed even though you do not need them.

 

A tumor (mass) can develop from these excess cells. These tumors are either benign or malignant. Benign tumors are not cancer. Malignant ones are.

 

Cancer is much larger than a single disease. It is a huge group of diseases. Cancer is marked by cells that are invasive (they invade and destroy adjacent tissue), aggressive (they grow and divide without respect to normal limits) and sometimes metastatic (they spread to other parts of your body).

 

Kahler’s disease is one of the many different forms of cancer. Kahler’s disease starts in the plasma cells in your bone marrow. These are a type of white blood cell that makes proteins that are called antibodies that assist you in fighting infection.

 

In Kahler’s disease, a group of abnormal (mutated) plasma cells that are known as myeloma cells multiply. This raises the number of abnormal proteins in your blood. This, in turn, can lead to problems with your red blood cell count, bones and kidneys and immune system.

 

There are over 20,000 new cases of Kahler’s disease that are diagnosed every year in the United States. The majority of the people who develop this disease are over 50 years of age. Men are affected by this disease more often than women.

 

The specific cause of Kahler’s disease is unknown. However, what is known is that this disease begins with one mutated plasma cell in your bone marrow.

 

You may not experience any signs and symptoms with Kahler’s disease in its early stages. Signs and symptoms may also vary from person to person. Possible signs and symptoms include:

 

  • A high level of calcium in your blood
  • Unintended weight loss
  • Unexplained fractures
  • An increased likelihood of infection
  • Back or bone pain
  • Constipation
  • Problems with bleeding
  • Excessive thirst and urination
  • Nausea
  • Mental confusion
  • Loss of appetite
  • Numbness or weakness in your legs
  • Symptoms of anemia like shortness of breath, tiredness and fatigue
  • Weakness or numbness in your legs.

MTCD and Receiving Social Security Disability Benefits

Image via Wikipedia

MTCD stands for mixed connective tissue disease. MTCD is used by some doctors to describe a disorder that is evidenced by characteristics of three connective tissue diseases, which are scleroderma, lupus and polymyositis. Because of these qualities, MTCD is sometimes known as an overlap disease.

MTCD is a disorder that occurs most often in women. In fact, women represent about 80% of the people with this disorder. MTCD is diagnosed most often in young adults in their 20s and 30s. However, MTCD may develop anywhere from ages 5 to 80, as children have occasionally been diagnosed with this disorder. MTCD takes place in all races all over the world.

MTCD is a kind of connective tissue disease. It is evidenced by abnormal structure or function of your connective tissue.

A connective tissue disease is any disease that has the connective tissues of your body as its main target. Your connective tissues are the structural portions of your body. They essentially hold the cells of your body together. These connective tissues form a framework or matrix for your body.

Researchers do not know what causes MTCD. MTCD is part of a larger group of diseases that are referred to as autoimmune disorders. Your autoimmune system is what fights any thing foreign that invades your body. An autoimmune disorder is when your immune system for some unknown reason mistakes normal, healthy cells and tissues as invaders. In other words, your immune system attacks your own body’s tissues and cells.

No one knows for sure why your immune system does this. Researchers believe that it may be a complex mixture of genetic factors, viruses and chemicals that may be why this takes place.

MTCD does not have a set of signs and symptoms that are unique to it. Instead, the signs and symptoms of MTCD will be like those of scleroderma, polymyositis and lupus. However, the signs and symptoms of these three diseases do not usually take place at the same time. Some of these signs and symptoms include:

  • Muscle weakness
  • Mild fever
  • Fatigue
  • Raynaud’s phenomenon – This is blood vessel spasms that interrupt the flow of blood to your ears, nose, finger and toes
  • Joint swelling
  • Swollen fingers
  • Joint pain.

Lipoid Nephrosis and Receiving Social Security Disability Benefits

Sunday, August 7th, 2011

Lipoid nephrosis is a disorder of your kidneys that may result in nephrotic syndrome. It is a kidney disorder that is marked by large amounts of protein being lost in your urine.

Lipoid nephrosis occurs most often in very young children (peak incidence at 2-3 years of age), but this disorder also develops in older children and adults. Lipoid nephrosis accounts for around 90% of all the cases of nephrotic syndrome in children who are less than 10 years of age. About 50% of the cases of nephrotic syndrome in teenagers are caused by lipoid nephrosis. In adults with nephrotic syndrome, about 20% of the cases are due to lipoid nephrosis. Boys seem to be more likely to get lipoid nephrosis than girls in children who are less than 10 years of age.

The cause of lipoid nephrosis is unknown. Doctors usually put this disorder in two categories, primary and secondary.

Primary means that lipoid nephrosis develops independently of any other medical condition, for no discernable reason. This is by far the most common type of this disorder.

Secondary means that lipoid nephrosis is caused by, or at least involved with, another medical condition. This type of the disease is rare.

Adults are usually affected by secondary lipoid nephrosis. It is usually associated with:

  • Allergy that may involve many environmental allergies
  • Drugs like lithium, bisphosphonates, NSAIDs and some antibiotics
  • Malignancy like leukemia or lymphoma
  • Infection, such as HIV, syphilis or hepatitis.

The hallmark sign or symptom of lipoid nephrosis is swelling (edema) that is due to fluid retention. This swelling may be substantial. It usually starts in your legs and feet, but it can move into your abdomen and hips as well.

Another primary sign or symptom of lipoid nephrosis is proteinuria. This is too much protein in your urine.

Edema and proteinuria can begin rapidly – almost overnight. There are also other signs and symptoms that you may experience with lipoid nephrosis. These include:

  • Hypertension (high blood pressure)
  • Tendency to form blood clots
  • High cholesterol.

Unlike other kidney disorders, lipoid nephrosis does not usually affect your kidneys ability to filter or clean your blood.

None of the signs and symptoms listed above, or all of them taken together, are specific only to lipoid nephrosis. Only your doctor can determine if you have this disorder.

Angiomatoid Fibrous Histiocytoma and Receiving Social Security Disability

Sunday, July 24th, 2011

Your body is composed of 206 bones. Your bones help provide structure and shape to your body. Your bones help protect your fragile organs, contain bone marrow that stores and produces new blood cells and help control your body’s collection of various proteins and nutrients.

Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma is a rare disease that is evidenced by the formation of nodules under your skin. It is a tumor that is found in your soft tissues or bone. This tumor usually occurs in your limbs or trunk. However, it can begin in other parts of your body, also. There are cases of angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma starting in the abdomen, muscles, kidneys and lungs.

Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma is regarded as a low-grade malignancy. This is because of its rare metastasis (spread to other areas of your body) and slow growth.

If angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma begins in your soft tissues, you may develop an enlarging painless mass. You may develop fractures if it starts in your bone

Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma occurs most often in young adults and children. 80% of the people with this disease are under the age of 30.

The exact cause of angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma is not known. Mutations (defects) occur in normal cells, but no one knows why this happens.

What is known is that research has shown that people with certain risk factors are more likely to have this disease than others without them. Some of these risk factors include:

  • Having had radiation treatment for cancer
  • Having a history of certain diseases like sickle cell disease, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, multiple myeloma or Hodgkin’s lymphoma
  • Having a history of Paget’s disease.

As mentioned above, you may have a broken bone or painless enlarging mass that will be the first sign or symptom that you experience with angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma. Other common signs and symptoms of this disease that you may have are:

  • Fever
  • Low blood sugar
  • Unintentional weight loss
  • Nodules or a mass under your skin.

You need to take note of the fact that none of these signs and symptoms are exclusive to angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma. They may be indications of other medical disorders and conditions. Your doctor is the only one who can determine whether they are signs and symptoms of this disease.

You or a loved one may be afflicted with angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma. Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma and/or complications that have been brought about by it or other conditions that you have besides this disease may have led to you or your loved one’s disability and not being able to work.

Clinical Depression and Receiving Social Security Disability Benefits

Saturday, July 23rd, 2011
On the Threshold of Eternity

Image via Wikipedia

Depression is an issue that millions and millions of people in the United States have to cope with. The way that depression affects you can range all the way from something that is a mild nuisance to a severe medical disorder that can have dangerous and deadly complications and consequences.

Severe, ongoing depression is referred to as clinical depression. Doctors use the term “clinical depression” to refer to depression that causes significant disruptions in your daily life. This involves things like social activities, school and work.

Clinical depression is serious, persistent depression. Clinical depression is depression that lasts for weeks and months. It is a form of depression that can prevent you from even doing your normal daily activities. It can even cause you to think about taking your own life.

Clinical depression is something that can affect anyone. It may affect people of any age or sex, and this includes children.

Depression may be caused by a medical ailment like a thyroid disorder, substance abuse or a loss, like the death of a loved one. Clinical depression is not that kind of depression.

There is no single cause of clinical depression just as there are no single causes for any other kind of depression. Genetics (heredity), environmental and biological factors all probably play a part in causing clinical depression.

There are other factors that may play a role in causing clinical depression to occur. Some of these include:

  • Medications
  • Hormones
  • Personality
  • Nicotine use
  • Illnesses
  • Stress
  • Drug abuse
  • Use of alcohol.

The signs and symptoms of clinical depression are when you have one or more recurring episodes, and your severe depression has lasted for more than two weeks. It also means that you are having at least 5 of the following signs and symptoms:

  • Crying spells
  • Feelings of worthlessness and guilt
  • Significant increase or decrease in your appetite
  • Loss of pleasure and interest in normal daily activities
  • Significant weight loss or gain
  • Thoughts of suicide or death
  • Excess sleeping or an inability to sleep
  • Irritability or agitation
  • Feeling sad and blue
  • Loss of energy or fatigue.

Clinical depression may also result in physical complaints like headache and backache.
