Notonly that, it can go into remissions on its own and cause no symptomsatall for a period of time and then strike again. That's why doctors sometimes have trouble knowing whether their medicine is working or whether old mothernatureis just going through the cycle for ulcerativecolitis. For the benefitof other readers,ulcerativecolitis is best described as its name implies. it produces ulcerations in the colon. This is often associated with diarrhea and if the ulcers are penetrating n or in the right area, they can cause bleeding.

An inability to provide adequate oxygenationto the brain can be the problem.Thatcan result from a variety of circulatory diseases involving the heart itself or from a plug of arteries going to the brain that interfere with blood flow. Thereis such a long list of things that can cause this problem that I’m convinced that a person who has such symptoms needs to be seen by at least three different specialists. These include a Specialist in internal medicine to look for such problems as low blood sugar or other metabolism defects, a neurologist who will look for problems related to circulation to the brain and various diseases the brain. And,finally and quite important, a psychiatrist who will be able to pick up such things as a depression. Many middle-aged people have a change in mental function because they're realy depressed. The depression can usually be treated so it really is a tragic error when a who hasa depressionis labeled as being senile and isn’t properly treated.
