Night Cramp is something from ..what. .. a great many people occasionally suffer -
and they don’t easily forget it.Even the healthiest people ...can....... get a short, sharp pain in
the legs after a strenuous day.Many older people can bring it on ...by...... making powerful
stretching movements while lying ...on (down)...... in bed. If this sort of night cramp becomes
a real nuisance, avoiding over-stretching and tablets containing quinine sulphate ....in (at)....
bed-time may be all that is needed. A very small number of patients, however, cannot take
quinine without becoming dizzy ......are (or)..... getting buzzing in the ears. They may have to
decide .....that.(if)...... they would rather have cramp and no dizziness, or the reverse.
But cramp in the lower limbs in the daytime and in younger, active patients can be
very distressing and is ...very... serious. It is not uncommon and has the rather clumsy name
of intermittent claudications. The patient first complains of aching legs after exercise.
It ....can..... be slight, but gradually becomes more pronounced. ..Unfortunately.. the pain is
not merely an ache, but a definite, crippling cramp, which can become ....more (so).... severe
that the patient finds he or she cannot stand after much walking.Intermittent claudication is
caused ..by........ the narrowing of the arteries and often starts in the 30s. It generally means
that the arteries everywhere in the body .....have... become narrowed and blood cannot
reach the muscles fast enough when they are in use. The heart muscles may be equally
affected.This condition may ....give (be).... a good enough excuse for not doing jobs you don’t
like doing, but that is poor consolation. It is a disease ......which..... affects men far more than
women and attacks are more common in cold weather, or even after sitting in a chair at the
office in a draught. It is also a slightly hereditary complaint.This is ......by.... no means the
same as the night-time cramp already mentioned, and there is ....no...... absolute cure. The
patient learns to regulate the amount of exercise he or she can comfortably take.
....Some (No)..... drugs offer a complete relief but there is one habit which the sufferer
must give up -- smoking. Whatever may or may not be one’s views about the habit, it
undoubtedly makes intermittent claudication far more troublesome.A number of patients will
secretly admit that ......as.. long as they keep off tobacco they do not get this fearsome
cramp.
Everyone thinks that diabetes ..is... a disease where the patient excretes a lot of
sugar, is very thin and is inordinately thirsty. ....But...... there are many people who probably
have diabetes and won’t know they have it until a severe symptom arises. However, there are
some minor warning symptoms to look ..about.(out). for.Diabetes tends to be
hereditary. ...If... you have a diabetic parent, brother, sister or even aunt, there is an
increased risk ..of.... the disease.
But people often don’t realise that ....although.... it often causes youngsters to lose
weight, later on in life there may be a filling out of the waistline. And on the subject of
weight, overeating can also trigger ....off.... diabetes.If a woman who unexpectedly has one or
two failed pregnancies, it will need to ...be.... investigated in several ways, but the possibility
of her being a diabetic must be reckoned .....in (with).... Similarly, a mother who produces a
really large child — for example, over four and a half kilos — needs to consider this
possibility. Another way the diagnosis can arise is ...that.(when).. a patient goes for a life
assurance medical examination and is rejected when they believed they were fit and
healthy.If this happens, the patient needs to go and see their own doctor and take a
specimen ....of.... urine with them.One of the early signs of diabetes is when the patient
becomes plagued with boils for no apparent reason. Another skin condition
associated ..with.... diabetes is when there is infuriating itching — generally at night — after a
visit to the loo.A few final points also need remembering. Diabetes is not really a definite
entity of a disease, but it is said that about 13 people in every 1,000 in Western Europe has a
sugar defect in the urine — and about half of them ...are...... unaware of the fact.The outlook
is vastly better for diabetics ...than.... it used to be. Before insulin, a diabetic 10-year-old only
had a life expectancy of less that two years — this expectancy is now about 45 years. Older
patients will generally get less serious effects. Lastly, ....if...... it turns out that you do have
diabetes, don’t jump to the conclusion that injections will ...be.... essential. It may well be
possible to treat you either by diet alone or by insulin taken by mouth.
So, if you have ....some.(any).. suspicions at all that you may have diabetes, don’t be
afraid to consult your doctor.
