Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a debilitating condition traditionally characterized by a significant increase in heart rate upon standing.  This condition affects a disproportionate number of women in their teens and early twenties, though men and older women can develop the condition.

There is no cure for POTS, since it is not a disease that has one common cause. It’s a collection of symptoms which makes it a syndrome. While there is no cure, there are a variety of treatments available to alleviate symptoms associated with POTS.  This video from Dysautonomia International provides an overview of what POTS is.

The POTS Treatment Center in Dallas has developed a treatment program that teaches a patient to monitor and manage symptoms through biofeedback techniques, diet modifications and exercise. In addition, the center provides counseling and care to treat some of the more emotional side effects of the disease. 

Below are the results experienced by a 22 year-old female patient that went through an intensive, 2 week program with a one week follow up program 6 weeks later.

This 22 year-old female patient reported the onset of symptoms in December 2010, including dizziness, lightheadedness, blurry vision, headaches, soreness in feet and legs, pre-syncope, gastrointestinal pain, fatigue, tremors, temperature intolerance, and brain fog. Prior to that, she had Swine Flu in 2009 and a viral infection in 2010. She was diagnosed with vasomotor instability in April 2011, and then with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) in March 2012. She came to the POTS Treatment Center in Dallas, Texas in May 2013 for treatment. At that time, she was unable to drive, was using a wheelchair, and was having convulsive syncope. She experienced significant car sickness as well. She reported gaining 25 pounds in the prior year, with 15 of that being in the prior 6 months.  She had difficulty with activities of daily living, including eating, getting ready to go somewhere, and going to the restroom. Her ability to socialize was also negatively impacted. She was a freshman in college, but had missed 15 days of classes due to symptoms. She described herself as a high achiever, being active previously in marching band and dance.

Her treatment for POTS consisted of an intensive two-week program with sessions 5 days a week averaging 3 hours per session. Training included diaphragmatic breathing, Heart Rate Variability Training, EMG biofeedback, peripheral hand temperature biofeedback, EDR biofeedback, standing and exercise techniques, nutrition supplements, and other health and behavior interventions. She reported feeling an initial improvement in symptoms after 4 days of treatment. After the first week of treatment, she felt she did not need her wheelchair as much. After the two-week treatment program, she reported a large decrease in gastrointestinal issues and brain fog, and denied any tremors or seizures.

Her Beck Depression Inventory – II score pre-treatment was 11, indicating mild to moderate symptoms of depression. Her Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) pre-treatment was 36, indicating severe symptoms of anxiety. After the two-week treatment program, her BDI-II score decreased to a normal range score of 3, and her BAI score decreased to 17, indicating mild symptoms of anxiety.

This patient returned for follow-up treatment 6 weeks later. At that time she did an intensive one-week of training, with daily sessions of about 3 hours. Her POTS treatment again included diaphragmatic breathing, Heart Rate Variability Training, EMG biofeedback, peripheral hand temperature biofeedback, EDR biofeedback, standing and exercise techniques, and other health and behavior interventions. Upon her return to treatment, she reported that she had only used her wheelchair 3 times, was exercising up to 45 minutes at a time, and had been able to ride a bicycle for 6 miles since her initial treatment. She also reported she was able to control her car sickness better. She did report difficulty standing for long periods of time, though she was able to walk around. At the time of her follow-up her BDI-II score was lower at 1, and her BAI score was still 17.

As of September 2016, 3 ½ years after her initial treatment at the POTS Treatment Center, she reported that she had not used her wheelchair since her 6 week follow up at the clinic. She was also training for a half marathon and running several miles a day. She reported that she had not passed out in 2 ½ years. She was nearing completion of her degree and was working long hours on internship, but had not missed any work except when she had strep throat and mononucleosis.

Alcoholism and addiction are chronic diseases. Chronic diseases, by definition, don’t just vanish. They can generally be treated, but not cured. This is why recovery is an ongoing process. Whether it has been a few days or a number of years, recovery requires some work to stay on track.

The good news is that, statistically, the longer you’ve been sober the better the chance that you’ll stay that way. The first year is typically the hardest; a whopping two thirds of people that have been in recovery for less than a year, relapse. However, come the 5 year mark, your chances of relapsing drop to about 15%.

The question remains: What causes former addicts to relapse?

There is a myriad of reasons for someone in recovery to relapse, but here are 5 of the most common ones.

Stress

Life tends to hit former addicts a little harder than usual. Especially when you are just learning how to readjust yourself to new routines, the smallest thing can turn into a trigger. One of the biggest sources of stress is the amount of pressure that you place on yourself while in recovery. The fear of failure or the feeling that you are not doing as well as you would like are some things that people face no matter how long they have been in recovery.

While stress comes in all shapes and sizes, there are just as many ways to manage the stress. First of all, giving your mind, body and spirit ample time to rest is key. Sleeping for a full 7 to 10 hours a day makes a world of difference when it comes to managing stress. If you’re already tired and a little bit off your game due to lack of sleep, any additional stressful situations will seem magnified. When you’re trying to retrain your body and adapt to a totally different lifestyle, it can be difficult to sleep better, but it’s not impossible. You will also benefit from a generally healthy diet and a decent level of exercise. Don’t forget to also use any healthy coping mechanisms and management tools that you may have learned in therapy, rehab, or group meetings.

Financial crises

This one relates to stress, but it is such an underestimated factor on its own that it deserves more recognition. Addiction and alcoholism permeates every part of your life, and you’ll only truly see the real effect it has had once you have decided to get better. Chances are that your financial state isn’t all that appealing. There are probably many bills to pay, debts to settle, and little to no income to deal with all of that. That’s definitely a lot to handle, and if you’re not careful, it can lead to a relapse.

The good thing is that financial stress can be managed as well. The first step is getting a job so that you have an income to slowly pay off everything that needs to be paid off. Next step: do your absolute best to not generate any more debt. This requires budgeting. You want to sit down and map out how much money you have, how much you owe, how much you will need to spend on a weekly to monthly basis, and how much you will be or are making. If you have extra money that is not already allotted towards necessary things, put that in savings. You can set short term and long term savings goals to help motivate your newfound financial responsibility.

Celebrations

This is also a big one. Holidays, birthday parties, what have you. They can be especially nerve wracking to former addicts. On the one hand, you probably associate having a good time and celebrating with alcohol and other substances. On the other hand, temptation is all around you. People that are not aware of your recent life choices will probably innocently offer you a drink, and even those that do know may forget or just insist that ‘a little sip never hurt anybody’.

There are many ways to deal with this. If you are in early recovery, the best thing to do would be to avoid events where you know that alcohol will be served or made available. If you are in long term recovery, or if you have a legitimate reason not to miss a certain event where there will be temptation you can try one, or a few, of these tricks:

Go to an AA or NA meeting before the event. This can help reinforce everything you’ve learned, and everything you’ve worked for to get where you are in your recovery.

Take some recovery tools with you. You can download an inspirational talk or two, or even a recovery app, that you can discretely use when you are feeling tempted or vulnerable.

Take a sober plus one. This person should be very firm in their abstinence, someone who is in long term recovery and is very confident of their sobriety. This way, you can have an anchor, and a third voice to remind you and encourage you to say no.

Have a reason for not drink. If you’re not comfortable with divulging this kind of information in public, be ready with some sort of response as to why you’re not drinking. It doesn’t have to be elaborate and it doesn’t even have to be a lie. You can just say “I don’t drink.”

Leave early. The intoxication part usually comes during the second half of an event, or nearing the end. You can just take that as your cue to leave so you don’t subject yourself to temptation.

Old cues

Once you make the decision to beat addiction, the importance of distancing yourself from triggers such as hang out spots, places you used to buy drugs or alcohols, people you used to use with, or even certain media that would put you in the mood to use (i.e. music and movies), cannot be stressed enough. Just being contact with these triggers, or cues, can not only remind you of the substance itself, but the need to use.

When your resolve is shaky, or you are at the beginning of your recovery, it is best to simply avoid these cues. It may seem like you don’t have anything left but that is not the case. You can create new habits and new routines. Join a class, a club, pick up a new hobby, do anything else that makes you happy.

As you go further into recovery, and are more sure of yourself, you can revisit your cues and practice not giving into temptation. Think of Pavlov’s experiment. Every time he fed a dog, he would ring a bell a few moments before the food was put in front of it. Overtime, the dog started salivating at the mere sound of the bell rather than when he saw the food. That’s conditioning. For you these people, places and things may trigger memories and even urges of alcohol and drugs. That is because, for a long time, every time you met up with certain people or went to certain spots, you would use. If you are able to revisit these cues multiple times without using, you are reconditioning yourself to not be triggered.

You’ll either win or lose, but if you don’t try you’ll always lose. Give it a try. #addictionquotes #recovery pic.twitter.com/hTD8xXYp6Z

— The Florida House (@FHERehab) July 24, 2013Don’t Lose Hope

The majority of former addicts in recovery relapse. Your chances of relapsing get slimmer the longer that you are in recovery, but there is still a chance. Relapse is not a sudden thing, and it almost never comes as a shock. There are always signs and various steps leading up to it. If you keep these scenarios in mind, get help whenever you feel like you need it and do your best to stay happy, you can stop yourself from relapsing. Do keep in mind that just because you relapse does not mean that you have failed. There is still hope. Addiction and alcoholism are treatable and it’s never too late.

Diabetes is one of the most widespread health pre-conditions. The Canadian Diabetes Association reports that there are approximately 11 million Canadians living with diabetes or prediabetes. As for the diabetes pre-condition, Statistics Canada reports a growth from 1.8 million Canadians with diabetes in 2010 up to 2 million in 2014.

About 10% of the people have type 1 diabetes and 90% type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is more serious and requires insulin treatment. Type 2 diabetes does not always require insulin and can often be treated with softer measures such as proper diet and physical activity.

Consequently, insurance companies are often faced with this pre-condition and have designed different types of insurance policies reflecting different levels for this pre-condition.

Various types of policies for people with diabetes pre-condition

When insurers assess your medical condition with respect to diabetes, they consider several factors such as your age, blood sugar levels and insulin dependency. There are 3 typical types of life insurance that you can consider.

• Rated traditional life insurance: This insurance type requires both a medical exam and answering a detailed questionnaire. If you have diabetes, you will get the best life insurance quotes with this type of insurance although these rates might be a bit higher than those available for people without a diabetes pre-condition.
• Simplified issue life insurance: This is a type of no-medical life insurance and as its name says, does not have any medical tests but you are still required to complete a short questionnaire. The likelihood of getting this type of life insurance policy is much higher but it comes with a price; your rate will probably be higher than for the previous insurance type. Your coverage levels will also be limited and you will not be able get coverage for even half of a million.
• Guaranteed issue life insurance: That’s another type of no-medical life insurance policy. The difference to the simplified Issue life insurance is that this policy does not have any pre-requisites; no medical exam and no medical questionnaire. In other words, you are always approved for this policy but it will cost you even more and you cannot get coverage larger than $25K; in other words, very limited. Don’t forget that this policy also has a 2-year waiting period and will not pay claims within the first years.

Getting an idea of life insurance rates for people with diabetes

To get an idea of insurance rates lets look at a 35-years old male who does not smoke. If this person wants to get a term 20 life insurance policy with $200,00 coverage, it would cost around $20 per month for those who have a light diabetes pre-condition. Should this persons diabetes condition be considered serious, the rates will jump up to $60/month.

These numbers will be more than doubled if a person smokes because of the higher risk to the insurance company. A person with a light diabetes pre-condition should plan for approx. $45/month, whereas, a serious pre-condition would result in monthly insurance costs of $130.

Both no medical life insurance types will incur even higher costs per thousand of coverage. Remember, that no medical guaranteed issue life insurance will not even allow you to get $200K coverage – it will be capped at $25K

Last word on life insurance for diabetes

Remember that millions of Canadians have the same health pre-condition and there is a great chance that your health condition can still be viewed by an insurer as stable. This often allows you to qualify for rated traditional life insurance instead going for the more expensive no-medical life insurance.

Another tip related to where you could get your life insurance. Generally, you can either go directly to an insurance company, to a dedicated life insurance agent, or to insurance brokers / financial planners. This last category has access to multiple insurance companies and therefore can offer you a wider perspective across life insurance products. Some would even have special expertise in getting polices for people with diabetes pre-condition. Life insurance and diabetes are not mutually exclusive – you can get such an insurance at NoMedicalLifeInsurance.ca.

P.S. In general, if you have recently learned, or you have long been a victim of diabetes, remember that you still have options. Described above tips are available to all users without exception. All you need is to contact a good broker and he can certainly help you in choosing the right insurance policy. And same works with any other preconditions.

Social media and traditional media have been very vocal about the recent controversy over Bollywood film, “Udta Punjab” which highlights the issue of drug addiction in Punjab. Given that the drug problem in Punjab is important, what media doesn’t show is the efforts done by the state government to counter this painstaking issue once and for all.  Main features of government efforts have been the counselling service from qualified psychiatrists, de-addiction centers for addicts, yoga therapy, etc. Red Cross has also opened its state branch which has been supporting state government’s efforts. Another feature has been the family counselling provided to impress upon on the need of family support in battling drug addiction. Private de-addiction centers and NGOs have been doing their part of the job along with the government to raise awareness against drug abuse and addiction.

 

The extent of this problem has been quantified by a recent study done by National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre (NDDTC) at AIIMS. According to the study, there are 123,000 heroin-consuming people among the population of 27.7 million. Around 7,500 crore Rs. worth of opioids has been consumed every year in Punjab. The state government has also taken the problem at utmost priority and in recent years have made large strides in combating drug menace by arresting the big time drug peddlers, small drug offenders, and typical addicts.

 

Narco-terrorism is another feature that has entered this region. Groups from neighbouring countries have been trying to spread this drug epidemic in Punjab to make youth into addicts. Punjab lies in proximity to nations like Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran, which produces and sells largest amount of heroin in the world. The state government has been working with Central government and security forces to fight this new type of terrorism. They are also trying to contain this problem from propagating deeper in India.

 

All these efforts have been subsided by political parties like AAP and Congress, which are busy scoring political points against the ruling SAD government. In this complete lack of responsibility, both opposition parties have been showing Punjabi youth in a bad light. They also have ruined Punjab’s image. In this hour of need, both parties have forgotten their role and responsibility in their pursuit to make electoral gains.

 

It’s now up to the electorates of Punjab to decide what they want to choose – a government fighting or a government which maligned the very state it wanted to rule.

There are a wide range of sports that have been adapted to be played by people with varying types of disability, as well as several that are unique to disabled sports. Within each movement, different sports are practiced at different levels; for example, not all sports in the Paralympic movement are part of the Paralympic Games. In addition, many sports are practiced by persons with a disability outside the formal sports movements.

However, not all disabled sports are adapted; several sports that have been specifically created for persons with a disability have no equivalent in able-bodied sports.
