Good Info

What is glossopharyngeal neuralgia?
Neuralgia is severe pain caused by injury or damage to a nerve. The glossopharyngeal nerve is the ninth (IX) cranial nerve, which arises from the brainstem inside the skull. It supplies sensation to the back of the throat and tongue and portions of the ear (Fig. 1).

When the glossopharyngeal nerve becomes irritated, an attack of intense electric shock-like pain is felt in the back of the throat, tongue, tonsil or ear. You may initially experience short, mild attacks, with periods of remission. But neuralgia can progress, causing longer, frequent attacks of searing pain.

About 10% of people also have potentially life-threatening episodes of heart irregularities caused by involvement of the nearby Vagus nerve, the tenth (X) cranial nerve. These symptoms are:
  • slow pulse
  • sudden drop in blood pressure
  • fainting (syncope)
  • seizures
Sound familiar?
There are apparently all kinds of surgical procedures they will try on patients to alleviate this.
But I am guessing a whole lot of it is due to infectious activity in the mouth.

Reality Based Trigger Alert

Why We're Living in the Age of Fear
This is the safest time in human history. So why are we all so afraid?
...
If someone opens fire at a concert you're attending, you experience fear. But if you're at a concert and you're worried that a shooting attack could occur there, that's anxiety.
The biological difference, says LeDoux, is the worry and nervousness that we label as anxiety originate not in the amygdala, but predominantly in a small area of the stria terminalis – the pathway connecting the amygdala to the hypothalamus – known as the bed nucleus. It is this area that researchers believe is hyperactivated during generalized anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and social anxiety.
This may seem like a small distinction. But in actuality, it is everything. Because where fear is about a danger that seems certain, anxiety is, in LeDoux's words, "an experience of uncertainty."

And guess what disinhibits your Stria Terminalis?   Systemic EndotoxinImpaired breathing.
Anxiety is a symptom of illness.
Which is common in the elderly.

Yeah, this guy probably could have used that information.

Oh My

Now that's some good data:

Depression in young people affects the stomach, anxiety the skin
Mental disorders and physical diseases frequently go hand in hand. For the first time, psychologists have identified temporal patterns in young people: arthritis and diseases of the digestive system are more common after depression, while anxiety disorders tend to be followed by skin diseases.
 Please note the crucial words:  "Followed By"

Mental symptoms can come BEFORE the epithelial symptoms.   Your nerves are affected at the same time as the rest of you.
It's a real phenomenon of a real illness.

Odds and Ends

Zika is no longer an emergency – it’s worse than that, says WHO
Zika virus no longer represents a public health emergency, the World Health Organisation announced on Friday. On the face of it, this sounds like good news. But this is not a downgrading of the threat of the virus – if anything, it’s an upgrading, says Christian Lindmeier of the WHO.
The emergency status was used when little was known about Zika virus, and an urgent response was required from funders and researchers to learn more. “Today, we are in a very different situation,” Peter Salama, head of the WHO’s health emergencies programme, told a press briefing on Tuesday. Now that we know that Zika causes brain damage in fetuses and newborns, and that it is spreading, we need a long term approach. “It’s critical that we recognise that Zika virus will continue to spread,” he says. “And we need to continue to be able to respond.”

Fracking Cause Earthquakes
Critics of fracking often cite increased earthquakes as one of the many dangers the natural gas extraction method poses to communities and regions. It’s a contentious issue — natural gas proponents and oil companies say it just ain’t true — but new research published Thursday finds that clusters of earthquakes in western Canada are indeed caused by fracking.

This is Why

Woman dies in jail after not having $500 to pay court
New details have emerged in the Defenders investigation of a woman who died while serving a 30-day sentence in the Macomb County Jail.
Jennifer Meyers, 37, was sentenced to 30 days in jail for being behind on her child-support payments. The Defenders have learned Meyers was being held behind bars as part of a policy called "pay or stay" that puts people who can't afford to pay court fines in jail until they can....
Meyers' 30-day sentence ended up being a life sentence after she was escorted into the Macomb County Jail and died from sepsis 12 days later.

Because sickness creates poverty.
There are large amounts of actively bacteremic people who are barely surviving as it is.
If you don't know that,  shit like this happens.

Strike That, Reverse It

Sexism may be harmful to men's mental health
Men who see themselves as playboys or as having power over women are more likely to have psychological problems than men who conform less to traditionally masculine norms, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
... "The masculine norms of playboy and power over women are the norms most closely associated with sexist attitudes," said Wong. "The robust association between conformity to these two norms and negative mental health-related outcomes underscores the idea that sexism is not merely a social injustice, but may also have a detrimental effect on the mental health of those who embrace such attitudes."
Honestly, can nobody think logically anymore?
This works the other way around.  Mental illness is a symptom of physical dysfunction.   People who are sick get stressed and cranky.   And want to avoid people.

More specifically:  An active immune response creates Panic Induced Outsider Aggression.

A lot of men just choose women as the enemy.   Others use skin color and religion, etc.

Smoke and Mirrors

Teens with asthma almost twice as likely to smoke as their healthy counterparts
"The study found 22 percent of the kids with asthma smoked, while only 12 percent of kids without asthma smoked," said allergist Bradley Chipps, MD, ACAAI Fellow, and asthma expert. "The researchers discovered that curiosity about cigarette smoking is the main reason why kids with asthma start smoking. They then develop a greater dependence (22 percent) to nicotine compared to kids the same age who don't have asthma (12 percent)." Dr. Chipps was not involved with the study.
The study examined more than 3,300 questionnaires from adolescents between 13-19 years of age. Two groups were formed -- those with asthma and those without. The data from the questionnaires revealed teens with asthma who began smoking before 11 years of age continue smoking because they believe the habit lessens their anxiety and stress.
Yes, well that's because it does.
Nicotine is antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory and  reduces the symptoms of mild respiratory infections, especially anxiety.
First hand smoke does not have the same deleterious effects as second hand smoke.  The particles in smoke trigger asthma, but the nicotine suppresses it.

I grew up with a smoker, had pretty severe asthma as a child- and it went away when I started smoking at 13.   It truly did.
Smoking eventually destroyed my mouth... but that's another topic for another day.


For the record:  Narcoleptics are also almost twice as likely to smoke.

Excellent Documentation of the Obvious

High Rates of Psychiatric Comorbidity in Narcolepsy

RESULTS:
The final population included 9,312 narcolepsy subjects and 46,559 controls . All categories of mental illness were significantly more prevalent in patients with narcolepsy versus controls, with the highest excess prevalence noted for Mood disorders, Depressive disorders, and Anxiety disorders. Excess prevalence of anxiety and mood disorders (narcolepsy vs controls) was higher in younger age groups versus older age groups. Psychiatric medication usage was higher in the narcolepsy group versus controls in the following categories: selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (36% vs 17%), anxiolytic benzodiazepines (34% vs 19%), hypnotics (29% vs 13%), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (21% vs 6%), and tricyclic antidepressants (13% vs 4%).

CONCLUSIONS:
Narcolepsy is associated with significant comorbid psychiatric illness burden and higher psychiatric medication usage compared with the non-narcolepsy population.

Update-  don't forget Narcolespy is also comorbid with lots of "Physical" illnesses.

Piping Fresh Hypothesis, right off the griddle

A Vagal Infection Mechanism of Cataplexy

If you are familiar with my writing, you know that I think strep infections are a big cause of Narcolepsy.  My main thesis is that chronic long-term infection causes less orexin production, orexin cell destruction and drastic metabolic changes that we experience as sleep, eating and mood disorders.
But I haven't really had a good explanation for how a systemic infection could cause cataplexy. A constant low level of orexin doesn't really account for the sudden onset of cataplexy.

I read something that flipped a switch in my brain though.
Look at this:

The Vagus Nerve Infection Hypothesis for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Location, Location, Location.
VanElzakker proposes that an infection triggers CFS, but if his theory is right the most important thing about that infection is not what it is but where it is. That ‘where’ is the biggest nerve in the body; the vagus nerve – a ‘wandering nerve’ that stretches over much of our torso and sends its roots into most of the organs of the body.
The vagus nerve isn’t just any nerve; it’s the nervous system’s immune conduit to the brain. VE believes that an infection there doesn’t need to be large to cause havoc in the brain; it just needs to be present.

This may be what is going on with cataplexy.
Strep infections result in chronic throat biofilms from either nasal or tonsillar ulcers.  Pathogenic bacteria create mucous coverings in the throat near the ear canals.   And these persistent colonies are antibiotic resistant.

The branches of the vagus nerve run down both sides of your neck,    They run right next to the ears and down the front of your chest and all through your abdomen.
The vagus nerve controls a lot of things.  Your heart rhythm, your digestion, all the way down to your reproductive organs.   Not to mention it is wired to the Locus Ceruleus in the brain- which triggers cataplexy.

I am pretty convinced that if you have a chronic biofilm near the ears, the bacteria can infiltrate and affect the nerve-  and when you stimulate the the nerve via stress, you trigger a neurological short-circuit.

Orexin cells also directly control heart rhythm by direct contact with the Vagus.   I would guess this causes that feeling that someone is sitting on your chest during panic attacks.   And maybe some of the heart fluttering that happens when we're hypoglycemic.

Anyhow-  the Vagus nerve is in the throat.   It seems to cause the panic problems.
Trigeminal nerve is in the nose and mouth.  Infections in those places seem to cause the headaches and hallucinations.

(For the record, a good portion of my certainty comes from attending Narcolepsy conferences.   I watch the audience.  In one afternoon session, at least 80% of the zombies were rubbing their necks behind the ear, the others were asleep.  We also tend to pierce our ears and faces a lot.)

Vagal Stimulating Devices are all the rage these days.   I think that might be promising.  
But you should probably try this first.
