A recent review published by Medscape ("The Association of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Chronic Pain," May 24, 2013) showed that 49% of people taking narcotics for pain had sleep apnea. 35% had obstructive sleep apnea, associated with snoring. 14% had what is called central sleep apnea where there is no snoring but simply where people stop breathing repeatedly during the night. Poor sleep then aggravates the pain.

Your thyroid gland is a very important endocrine (hormone-producing) organ located in the front of your neck. It pumps out two key hormones: T3 (triiodothyronine, the active form), and T4 (thyroxine, the inactive storage form). Those hormones affect virtually EVERY system in your body, determining how fast or how slow it goes. Think of the thyroid gland as the body's gas pedal.

The media puts a lot of attention on the treatment of illnesses, but very little on those who do a lot of the treating — the healthy spouses (and other family members, like adult children and siblings) who take care of their sick loved ones. In my practice, it's not uncommon for me to see caregiver-spouses who literally had to become sick themselves to avoid burning out.
