Later, another sound was added, a deep tone that has a sporadic rhythm, that mimics human speech. It varies from soft and muted, to painfully clear, and loud. Have try sound machines, ear plugs, my hearing aid, and medication all to no avail rather I have a difficult time sleeping. Lately I was directed to a Doctor called William on internet who provided solution to the problem. Do not be discourage, dr williams product is a permanent cure to Tinnitus.

This would certainly explain Darwin's episodes of intense fatigue but not his other symptoms – headaches, parasthesiae, hysterical crying, palpitations, lumbago, sea-sickness, flatulence, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Darwin had the cyclical vomiting syndrome. Sufferers from CVS experience all of the above symptoms as well as the same type of lethargy as some patients with CFS, which is not surprising as both disorders may be due to impaired mitochondrial function.John Haymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12593945106096598782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228450388044990797.post-1935353523203925362010-07-14T02:00:27.302-07:002010-07-14T02:00:27.302-07:00Can I plug "Darwin's Mysterious Illness&q...Can I plug "Darwin's Mysterious Illness" by Robert Youngson, a monograph published by Huxley Scientific Press, Oxford, 2010?

My only problem is that mtDNA is inherited from the mother and Nancy should not have inherited her disorder from her father. But Darwin's children were often sickly and perhaps there is some transmission from father – there is close interaction between nuclear and mtDNA.<br />Ref: Hayman JA. Darwin's Illness revisited.

It has gone under many misnomers in the past, "intestinal migraine" among them (that was MAO Clinic's attempt). One of the worst tortures victims of this rare illness suffer is the constant, persecuting barrage of "labels" and pseudo-treatments offered by well-meaning but misguided medics and friends alike. "Avoidant personality Disorder?" -- hmmm... strange assumption for CVS sufferers who are as a whole vibrant, zealous high-achievers who yearn to tackle their dreams head-on and not from a near-death, prone position. "Hormones?" I've heard it all... Please, if you're curious -- go to the website cvsa@cvsaonline.org; we know there is a malfunction in the DNA of CVS sufferers -- something that prevents the mitochondria in our cells from sustaining energy production at a constant level. With the downturns come all the symptoms, with some variations. If the research can ever be funded enough to find a way to stabilize the basal energy functions, then all the other problems will go away, and thankfully, hopefully, the humiliating assault of other assumed "causes".Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16046645869734346723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228450388044990797.post-79722258238351977242009-10-23T23:51:47.015-07:002009-10-23T23:51:47.015-07:00i can think of two unmentioned possibilities

In these disorders, patients suffer an overzealous norepinephrine-mediated sympathetic response to standing that results in trembling, breathlessness, tachycardia, stomach issues and a whole host of other problems with their autonomic nervous system.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04328813152953833819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228450388044990797.post-28931003386241355092009-06-18T00:43:14.622-07:002009-06-18T00:43:14.622-07:00A good summary of the problem.

One important distinction is between hypotheses that seek a single cause as the most parsimonious explanation of all of Darwin's symptoms (Systemic lupus erythematosis has also been suggested here) and those explain different symptoms with different causes (e.g. irritable bowel syndrome for the GI symptoms, Raynaud's phenomenon for symptoms in his hands)Mark Pallenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06911675151032525386noreply@blogger.com
