Emily-Rose had just turned 36 and was in her first semester at university when her world began to crumble. This could not have come at a worse time as she has always looked forward to doing a Health Studies degree. Her friends and family were alarmed at the sudden moodiness, insomnia, fatigue, headaches, confusion, joint and muscle pain, nausea & #8230;and above all, the enduring feeling of tiredness she complained of.
Emily-Rose has suddenly changed from a happy woman to someone who battled daily episodes of what she calls extreme tiredness and anxiety. In the first three weeks of starting university, her husband Harry and sons, Brian and Bob have put this down to overwork at university and firmly told her to "slacken up a bit." Although she tried a new relaxation regime suggested by her friend Anita, she still complained of daily episodes of overwhelming tiredness and general malaise. Her weekly part-time care work had all but thinned out due to this overwhelming tiredness; this is in spite of following Anita's suggested relaxation technique. She began to miss classes regularly but confided in Brian and Bob, she will only go to the doctors if things persist into the next three weeks.
Emily-Rose is of mixed English-African parentage. Her paternal grandmother Iyabo is African. On Emily-Rose's...
She prescribed ginger, a cocktail of horny goat weed and other herbs which she says will restore Emily-Rose's health. Grandma told her "although you live in a sophisticated society now, we have a different and better way of dealing with these things in my younger days." Emily-Rose eventually went to the doctors in the fourth week as her symptoms persisted. Doctor Bilal suspected depression and put her on anti-depressants.
Six months went by and Emily-Rose's condition did not improve. She failed a number of core modules at university. What started as a good dream had turned sour; university was no longer enjoyable. She switched jobs constantly because she got fired a number of times for missing too many days and not having a proper reason; she was at the end of her tether. She was so miserable and confused that Doctor Bilal's medication was not working for her. Argument began at home with Harry and sons Brian and Bob who at first were sympathetic but could not understand her illness as they saw no physical sign of "this illness."
On Harry's recommendation, she got herself referred to see a specialist at the local…
Even in the west we have a relatively new field, psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) that suggests a connection between mind and body. In 1964, psychiatrist George Solomon noticed that patients with rheumatoid arthritis got worse with depression. His reasoning was that the mind has an impact on inflammation and on the general immune system.
Another physician, Herbert Benson, later showed how medication could affect blood pressure and he coined the term "relaxation response." Mind -- body connection was becoming increasingly popular and reached further publicity when Robert Ader in 1975 showed the impact that the mind (and cognitions as well as mental state) had on the immune system.
Today, the mind has achieved a larger place in Western medical practice, although conventional medicine still battles with its principals and, in many places, denies its exclusive veracity. There are some areas that are still in doubt
Gender and the 19th c English novel The question of gender in the nineteenth century English novel is complicated by consideration of more recent late twentieth century theorizing about gender. In particular, Judith Butler's highly influential notion of "gender performativity" suggests that gender is, in itself, nothing more than a sort of act. However this becomes an interesting angle to approach the works of creative artists, as a female novelist will
Her blooming full-pulsed youth stood there in a moral imprisonment which made itself one with the chill, colorless, narrowed landscape, with the shrunken furniture, the never-read books, and the ghostly stag in a pale fantastic world that seemed to be vanishing from the daylight. (Eliot, XXVIII) However it is worth noting the implicit paradox expressed here in the notion of a married woman's "oppressive liberty." Dorothea Brooke marries sufficiently well
All without distinction were branded as fanatics and phantasts; not only those, whose wild and exorbitant imaginations had actually engendered only extravagant and grotesque phantasms, and whose productions were, for the most part, poor copies and gross caricatures of genuine inspiration; but the truly inspired likewise, the originals themselves. And this for no other reason, but because they were the unlearned, men of humble and obscure occupations. (Coleridge Biographia
217+). It is not only the consumer, then, who might be affected by cost; producers also might be reluctant to grown or process organic foods unless they believed that consumers would continue to be willing to pay the price of the organic foods. Their study focuses "on the benefits associated with segregation and labelling strategies that are commonly gauged by the size of premiums consumers are willing to pay
