Dear MendMeShop,

Dear MendMeShop, I just wanted to take a moment to say "Thank You" and provide my personal testimonial regarding your Personal Portable Ultrasound System. I am a 37 year-old who stays fairly active and plays in several flag football leagues each Fall/Winter. Two months ago, after an unusually painful game, I was diagnosed with Bursitis in both of my ankles and was advised not to continue to run nor play football for a while. I followed the regimen prescribed by my doctor (stretching exercises, heat, etc.) and took a month off from playing. As I gradually started playing again, I still experienced significant pain in my ankles. While doing research on-line regarding bursitis, I came across your web site, read the information and testimonials, and decided to order the Personal Portable Ultrasound System. As someone who has taught customer service skills, I was very pleased with the high-quality customer service I received and promptly receiving my order in just a few days. After 2 weeks of using the Personal Portable Ultrasound System, I played this past Sunday. I not only played without ANY pain, but received the MVP award for scoring 3 touchdowns and having 1 interception. As a result of my seemingly miraculous recovery, a couple of my teammates have begun coming to my house to use my ultrasound and are planning to order their own. Thank you very much for your superior customer service and for providing a very beneficial product that REALLY works! Sincerely, Andre Chandler (Washington, DC)

Headache Attributed To Substance Use

Substance use can lead to headaches.

A headache attributed to a substance use / overuse is usually diagnosed only when the headache resolves or dramatically reduces in pain after the user no longer exposes themselves to the substance. Migraine sufferers (migraineurs) are known to be extra sensitive to ingested substances such as alcohol, chemicals medication and foods; adverse drug reactions are not uncommon and this is fairly well documented. It should be noted however, that the exposure to a substance and an ensuing headache are often merely coincidental. Also, some disorders may be predisposed to a headache from specific substance ingestion, wherein neither the disorder nor the substance would alone produce a headache.

Carbon Monoxide Induced Headache

This headache has also been known as the "workers warehouse headache". Exposure to carbon monoxide is extremely dangerous and life threating; severity of headaches from carbon monoxide typically increase with the amount of exposure to this dangerous gas. Headache usually develops within 12 hours of exposure, and will resolve itself within 3 days after the sufferer is no longer exposed. At its most severe, nausea and blurred vision will be apparent alongside the extremely painful headache. Beyond this degree of severity, lack of coherency and perhaps sleepiness will signal failing consciousness.

Delayed Alcohol-induced Headache

This headache has also been known as the "hangover headache" and is probably the most common headache known today. This headache is typically bilateral (both sides of head), pulsating and is aggravated by physical exercise. The headache will develop when blood alcohol level declines or is reduced to zero, and is gone within 3 days. For migraine sufferers, it is common for a delayed alcohol-induced headache to be triggered by a very modest amount of alcohol, compared with a non-migraineur who will get the headache only after an intoxicating amount of alcohol.

Success Stories

Headache induced by Food Components and Additives

Some food ingrediets such as aspartame have been claimed to induce headaches, but nothing has been proven or sufficiently validate to show as much. The commonest food induced headache is from monosodium glutamate (MSG), and typically develops within 1 hours of MSG ingestion. The MSG induced headache is usually dull or burning but may be pulsating in migraine sufferers. It is also linked with pressure in the chest and or face, burning sensations in the chest, neck and/or shoulders, flushing redness in the face and stomach ache.

Dear MendMeShop,

Hi Paul, In the Spring of 2008 I was using a gasoline powered weed trimmer without a shoulder support strap and developed a tendonitis in my right elbow where the weight of the trimmer was carried. I used ice packs and heating pads but little healing took place. I went to the Doctor and he sent me to a physical therapist who performed three weeks of ultrasound two times per week and some PT exercises. My elbow was not getting much better after 3-4 months post injury. Allow me to digress, I remembered that many years ago at our company health center a nurse trained me to use an ultrasound machine for a foot tendon problem called plantar fasciitis. I used this machine at least 15 times and after that my foot problem disappeared and never returned. Therefore, I concluded that an insufficient number of treatments were used on my elbow and I started looking on the internet to purchase an ultrasound device for myself. I came upon the Mend-Me-Shop Website. I purchased the unit an began using it 2-3 times per day per protocol. After 3-4 weeks my tendonitis was gone. It has not come back. Since that time, I have used it on Tendonitis in my right hand that I injured moving a refrigerator and my left elbow and arm which was strained using a gasoline power hedge trimmer. In both these instances your pulsed ultrasound device completely healed my tendon injury within a three month time period with no recurrence. I did not use the device continuously during that period but allowed for some weeks of no treatment before repeating the protocol. I have used this device now for two years plus and it seems very reliable - a quality piece of equipment. You can be sure that when I travel, I travel with this equipment. My only suggestion is that you design a cushioned carry bag accessory for this device and a bottle of gel that could be easily taken on trips. Thanks for all your help and the conversation.
