If so you have contributed to a $400 million annual business Stayed home from work with a headache? About 157 million work days a year are lost to headaches People don’t die from them but headaches can be incapacitating Susan West who can’t remember not having a headache writes about headaches in a new the first issue of Hippocrates magazine of health and medicine that is a happy addition to the popular science magazine scene West visited a Chicago headache clinic to be treated for mixed headache a fresyndrome including migraine quent pattern seen by the doctors West as they also tracked the doctors diagnosed and treated other patients Migraine headaches affect about 15 she found percent of the population striking three times more women than men Migraines have been blamed on overreactive blood vessels in the brain then dilating Migraines constricting are usually accompanied by nausea sensitivity to light and sound and the urge to lie down in a quiet place and sleep it off Only percent of sufferers have the classical warning symptoms of visual hallucinations People who wake up with head pain probably have migraines West writes So do many who think they have sinus headaches which are actually quite rare In children migraines may show up as periodic vomiting Another kind the cluster headache has a sudden onset and is characterized by excruciating pain centered near one eye Cluster headaches are so called because they occur in groups They affect less than one percent of the population mostly men The eye turns red tears the pupil contracts and the lid droops Curiously cluster headache sufferers usually have similar facial features: blue eyes a square cleft chin accentuated cheek folds and coarse skin Muscle contraction headaches can be caused by stress depression or holding the head or neck in the same posture for a long time In addition to migraine cluster and muscle contraction headaches which related to fluctuations in brain chemicals major headaches may also be caused by certain diseases injuries or surgery Minor headaches types result from hunger sinus infection poor dental bite hangover withdrawal from caffeine sex weekend or vacation disruption of sleep patterns or eating ice cream hot dogs containing nitrites or foods containing monosodium glutamate As the medical community and sufferers learn more about headaches prevention and treatment get better and better West’s headache problem the doctors said was probably compounded by the painkillers she took causing caffeine withdrawal headaches A combination of drug biofeedback therapy training and giving up caffeine has alleviated her headaches She says her visit to the headache clinic one of about two dozen in the country was well worth it Community Calendar Beginning June 15 Motor Vehicle Schedule: Fillmore Mond & Thurs 9 a m noon & pm & Delta Wed 9 pm Renewals any working day at Millard County Offices June 26 Trail Inc fund raiser Wendy Petersen and Mathew Loe wedding reception Delta lst2nd Ward bldg pm Program 9:30 pm Daryl Nielson and Wendy Wilson open house pm Robert Nielson residence Lynndyl Hay testing IFA Delta 9 am-- pm June 27 -

gallons and pints of protective coatings to and apartment house homeowners dwellers who were trying to maintain their properties This occupation came about at age 15 when I started working in my father’s store By the time I was drafted into Uncle Sam’s service for World War II I had resolved I would never follow the paint business for a lifetime of work But after 5 years of military service I found there was intense competition for jobs and few employers were vying to offer the conquering hero a top executive job with a fat salary So I went into the paint wallpaper and glass business for myself and r came to love it decorating became much more specialized with so we emphasis on flashy colors became “color counselors” rather than just paint sales people The highlight of my career I guess was the day a very serious young lady phoned and asked “What color should is I paint my top when my bottom blue?” It turned out she was talking about her bathroom Frequently we received calls asking that we “come up to take my measurements” Invariably it turned out the caller was talking about the size of the room she wished to decorate The Ottley’s Oddball Observation: handwriting on the wall usually dicates that the house is rented Comp Dutson Sheflie Subscriptions by Dennis Hinkamp Consumer Information Writer Utah State University “Come on down and see the new ’87 1000 from Gigantico Behemoth Motors Yes this year’s model is far better than the old ’86 Behemoth 999 The new 1000 has four cylindrical body supports (tires) a fixed atmosphere deflector (windshield) and of course a pedestrian early warning system (horn)” The preceding little fantasy advertisement is only slightly more ridiculous than the real thing It is a common practice in car advertising to state the obvious and advertise things that are to make these standard equipment features sound like something special For instance rack and pinion steerstrut suspension ing McPherson power assist brakes and unit body construction Although these are often advertised as special features of new cars in truth they are virtually standard equipment Few new cars do not have these features New car advertising takes the Walt Disney approach-- it makes reality look better than it really is Used car ads follow the National Enquirer formula That is the words are in fact true but their meaning may not be what you expect It is one of life’s interesting turnabouts that we the consumers that complain about misleading advertising often mislead when it comes time to sell our own used cares Anyone who has ever bought or sold a used car knows the subtleties of wording a classified ad The following glossary should start your own conscious to nagging and other people’s help you decipher classified ads: low rust: only the bottom of the car has rusted out mint condition: the car is painted green like new: looks old classic: looks very old antique: junk new breaks: That’s breaks not brakes Be sure to check the spelling All the breakage happened last week Past inspection: be sure to Again check the spelling “Past” and passed don’t mean the same thing good tires: they’re round rebuilt the oil has been engine: changed new engine: the oil and oil filter have been changed great car around town: keep it close to a repair shop 25 miles per gallon: 25 miles per gallon of oil not gas burns some oil: OPLC has claimed drilling rights to this car one owner: one owner at a time es Car tasteless sometimes misleading but always fun to read and watch The new Isuzu commercials (the ones that say their cars start at $1095) have made a comic point about outlandish claims of car ads These ads also point out that most of us don’t expect to take these ads seriously Production Circulation Rita Robinson

Being in construction has put us in many a small town but I have never felt the feeling of friendship more than Alcoholism — Not Only Genetics Dear John In regards to your article “Chemical I family Disease” Dependency-- A know that drinking injures one’s brain I saw a TV show saying how drinking affected it It also mentioned that parents who drank passed on certain genes that made their child more likely to drink I don’t think something like genes is it I think they damage the fant’s brain by drinking A lot of children are slow learners because of it My dad was an alcoholic One sister and one brother out of eight of us kids turned out to be an alcoholic My brother and his wife were able to stop this dependency on alcohol and cigarettes by prayer and a strong desire to quit and change their life style The other one is slowly killing herself like my dad did He always told us these were bad habits and to never let them get a hold on you A Hinckley Supporter Dear Hinckley Supporter The advice your dad gave you and your family was good solid advice It’s too bad he couldn’t have benefited from it himself As is true in all too many cases that kind of insight is often gained at a high price In response to your statement that you don’t think that a person’s genes are the determining factor in causing someone to become alcoholic you are probably right at least partly Some of it had to do with the damage that is done to the baby’s body and brain because of the alcohol abuse part of it is the result of living in an environment that is directly influenced by alcohol abuse and part of it has to do with the genetic of the individual I’m imwith pressed your knowledge of these dynamics I hope your sister is able to benefit from this knowledge You mighht be interested in an INTERVENTION that has technique been shown to be effective in reaching the alcoholic before they end up killor someone else I’ll ing themselves send one to you I’m convinced that through such efforts a lot of people can be spared the pain that so often is associated with chemical dependency Let me know how things turn out If any of our readers would like a free copy of the intervention brochure called “Chemical Dependency— A Family Action Plan” just send me a letter or call me at is it? t Intervention is an organized structured process of confronting a chemically dependent person with the unacceptable behavior that results from It is a proven sucthe dependency cessful method of breaking through the denial that usually develops as the lness progresses Many times because of the powerful denial and defense systems mechanisms that develop the chemical- ly dependent person is unable to accurately assess the severity of the situation until significant problems have occurred These may include loss of: Family Job Health Self esteem Friends Intervention is a process of taking action before these major losses occur or as a direct result of such losses It is not necessary to wait for the chemically dependent person to ask for help before successful changes can occur Through the process of intervention it is possible to avoid much of the pain loss and suffering that most assuredly will occur if such a step is not taken Without help at least 85 percent of all chemically dependent people die from the problems caused by the Some estimates are even dependency higher Chemical dependency is treatable Often family members tolerate the addiction problems for four to seven years because they don’t know what else to do Chemical dependency creates major life problems in the family which include: Physical and emotional abuse and marital Financial legal problems Poor parenting skills and poor role models Mental and physical health problems Addiction in family members Poor life skills development Chemically dependent people are not bad people who need to get good they are sick people who need to get well Intervention facilitates that process huge appetitie the elephant

Sprinkles SPORTS MED This is a new column which will be appearing regularly in this newspaper It is prepared by Stephen Henry MD and Regina White Durbin LPT Dr Henry is an instructor in the Department

Director Center and Associate Rehabilitation Director for Rehabilitation Medicine Medical Services at St Anthony Center Tennis Elbow By now most avid tennis players have been actively competing during the summer months If you’ve found yourself nursing a stiff tender forearm you’re certainly not alone Most likely you are suffering from a syndrome called “tennis elbow” Most commonly the pain involves the lateral (outer) aspect of the forearm and may radiate to the wrist and fingers With continued use the pain becomes constant and intensifies during the evening hours Morning stiffness is common The hallmark sign is a point of localized tenderness over the lateral prominence of the elbow Generally lateral tennis elbow is experienced in the year old age group and is most commonly due to poor backhand technique It is usually experienced by the amateur while medial (inner) tennis elbow is most commonly found in the professional or advanced ranks Treatment is most successful if itiated during the acute phase One of the most important aspects in this treatment is rest Unfortunately the majority of our patients find this treatment very difficult Gentle passive stretching of the forearm muscles and range of motion exercises (without force) also help the symptoms After use of the elbow ice packs should be applied to the area for 15 minutes two to three times a day The ice produces constriction of the blood vessels thus preventing swelling and pain Continued pain may require an extension wrist splint Symptoms may also be relieved with Nonmedications supplemental steroidal medications such as Motrin Tolectin Indocin and Aspirin all may produce marked relief As tennis elbow resolves pain is experienced only with forceful flexion and extension As gradual increases in the range of motion and resistance exmost player’s ercise are progressed symptoms will resolve completely If you insist on playing despite your symptoms a “counterforce brace” can reduce the pain and aggravation while and conplaying It is sists of an adjustable band worn around the forearm several inches below the elbow This brace reduces the amount of pull on the structures of the elbow A simple two inch strap applied in the same fashion may produce similar results For those of you with chronic and I recommend a pain disabling moderately new technique administered by your local physical therapist It is referred to as deep friction massage or transverse massage Therapeutic sessions are administered initially for 10 minute periods every other day The localized tenderness is palpated and After the vigorously massaged ice is applied massage Gradually therapy is transferred to the home and performed by the patient two or three times weekly Although this treatment mechanism is not totally understood the method can produce remarkable results As a last resort surgical exploration and resection of the diseased tendon of the extensor carpi radialis brevis may be performed Usually the arm is immobilized for l’z to 2 weeks with gradual return to tennis by 6 weeks Perhaps the most important treatment is the avoidance of poor habits Next month we will discuss good and bad tennis habits and how they produce muscular skeletal damage and inflammation Should you have signs and symptoms consistent with tennis elbow seek early treatment from your local physician An accurate diagnosis and early treatment plan will lead to an earlier and healthier return to tennis Hopefully over the next several months our column will discuss many sports medicine injuries and problems however if you have a specific sports medicine question or problem that we fail to include please forward it to us We will be happy to include your questions in a future article Write to Dr Steve

probably “tuned out” many things going on around you Most adults have learned to concentrate on a specific task and to ignore We can read potential distractions even though the TV is on other voices can be heard or traffic noises pour through the open window This may seem simple but paying attention is a skill that must be learned Many students can’t control their attention because they have never learned to focus their thoughts energies and actions on the task at hand Ordering a child to pay attention or threatening probably won’t work Instead these methods may help your children improve
