[align=justify][align=left][align=justify][align=center][align=justify]The following is a news from the NEW Scientist Journal ..
Patients generally should not oversuse medications and especially those having migraine because even side-effects will not be exposed eventually there is a possibility that they have long term effect especially if some elements is not utilized or fully degraded in the body . I direct this advise to me because i have migraine and i used to use everything to kill the pain but yesterday i made a change i didnt take anything. I was admited and discharged. I have my own treatment through diet, natural herbs and trying to get used with the pain so i dont suffer. Just like the bacteria when you use a particular antibiotic and you dont finish the course the bacteria become resistant to that antibiotic and it is no long effective. [/align][/align]
Surgeons operating on a 42-year-old Canadian man got a shock when they discovered dark-green blood coursing through his arteries, like Star Trek's Mr Spock.
Stunned, the medical team immediately sent his blood for analysis. The test revealed the blood discolouration was caused by sulfhaemoglobinaemia, which occurs when a sulphur atom gets incorporated into the oxygen-carrying haemoglobin protein in blood.
Doctors suspected that the patient's migraine medication caused the condition. "It is possible that our patient’s arguably excessive intake of sumatriptan, which contains a sulfonamide group, caused his sulfhaemoglobinaemia," they say.
Gradual recovery
"The patient recovered uneventfully, and stopped taking sumatriptan after discharge. When seen five weeks after his last dose, he was found to have no sulfhaemoglobin in his blood," they added.
The Canadian doctors explain that sulfhaemoglobinaemia usually goes away as red blood cells regenerate. In very extreme cases a transfusion might be necessary, they say.
