Paill Spectrum as a newly developed medical disease that explains the causes of a number of common medical conditions with no known cause. These medical conditions include
The Paill Spectrum model proposes new specific treatments that may improve well being as well as many other symptoms.
The Paill Spectrum model is relevant in a number of other common medical conditions such as Autism, Aspergers, anxiety, depression, dyslexia, schizophrenia, memory loss, ADD, chronic fatigue, learning difficulties, bad behaviour, road rage, hair loss and obesity are discussed on this site. Treatments include gluten free diet, coeliac (celiac) diet, vitamin tablets, and antibiotics
The role of a new model of illness, called Paill Spectrum in the causation of many diseases, symptoms and conditions with no currently known cause is the focus of this site.
New
Chronic Fatigue: This can be experienced as:
Usually the symptom arrives so gradually that you can’t decide when it came, but you know it has been there for a long time
Many people who fall into this set of tiredness definitions would not even think that they are tired. (E.g. People may say: “That’s what you feel like when you are a workingman and have done a full days work”).
Anger, Irritability, Violence, Mood Swings:
Generally I ask, “What are you like to live with?” Would your partner agree with you?
Most people are often surprised at how low-grade irritable they have become and the extent to which it has intruded into their life. They know they are being angry for quite trivial reasons. They know that their behaviour is having a bad effect on other people. They just can’ stop themselves.
This symptom predominantly affects mundane day-to-day activities. Only the rare spectacular case presents as a case of Road Rage. Many of these people get themselves into trouble with police due to their propensity for conflict, when a smile and saying sorry would have seen them get out of trouble.
The occasional person describes their partner as “mad” There may indeed be a reality to this statement, but the Paill Spectrum model would generally regard the appearance of distorted memories or unusual damaging intense beliefs as belonging to a later phase (wave) of Paill Spectrum illness.
Mood changes generally change easily and noticeably with treatment. The changes re obvious to the person, their acquaintances and their family. Summing it up, I remember one parent saying about their child, “He’s not a pain in the bum anymore”, after having a course of Paill Spectrum compatible treatment.
This symptom can take a number of forms. People can actually complain they are dizzy. i.e. They have the experience of feeling wobbly or unsteady or of feeling like they are moving.
Some patients actually complain of clumsiness rather than of dizziness. i.e. “She’s such a clumsy child. I have never seen a kid who seems to bump into or stumble over so many things, and she has the bruises to prove it.”
The symptoms can creep up on people seemingly without warning. Some people are unable to stand up straight with their eyes closed, without wobbling. A more sensitive test is to ask a patient to walk heel-toe (perhaps with their eyes closed). It can be alarming for someone to realize that they would fail a drunkenness test: they would be unable to walk a line if asked to do so: and they were not even aware how bad their sense of balance was.
The danger with unsteadiness if severe is that many people do Not realize how severe their problem is, so when they go to the toilet at night they do not turn the lights on and are at serious risk of a fall. (In the dark, they have no “vision” clues to correct their instability, so are much more likely to overbalance to the point where they are unable to save themselves from a fall).
Aches And Pains
Paill Spectrum has a very characteristic pain distribution but the appreciation of these sore areas can be very variable. Some patients have many sore areas, and others may have no sore areas at all. There are also age related changes in the types of pains that people experience.
Patients often have chronic persistent sore elbows: tennis elbow or golfers elbow that do not get better. Normal medical treatments fail. In severe cases, where Worker’s Compensation is involved, operations such as scraping the tendon attachment to the elbow is contemplated to facilitate scarring and healing. ESWL may be used, (lithotripsy). Many patients are sent for psychiatric assessments to determine what is wrong with them because they continue to be unwell, when modern medicine insists that the patients have just torn their tendon attachments. They should become better in just 6 weeks if they rest the affected area.
Many patients have shoulder aches, but again typically do not realize the extent of their pain and sensitivity. The shoulder pains are found in the bicipital tendons at the front of the shoulder in the bicipital groove, in the deltoid muscle and in the upper part of the trapezius muscle of the shoulder. Occasionally trigger areas occur in this area or around the shoulder blade.
Tendon pains are a major feature of Paill Spectrum. The tendons at the back of the knee and at the base of the fifth metatarsal in the side of the foot, (where the bone sticks out a bit at the side of the foot) are typical sites.
Abdominal pains occur in the para-aortic area; following the line of the aorta and then the right common iliac artery branch. Abdominal soreness is very important, since it may be found in some patients where there are no other sore areas. Again the patient may not notice the sore areas until the doctor examines for them. There is often no awareness by the patient of just how sore they are.
In the occasional patient, on examination, every one (all) of the indicated pain areas may be found, often without the patient realizing that they have any sore spots at all. They knew that they did not feel well, but did not realize just how bad it all was.
This is a very sensitive symptom of the Paill Spectrum syndrome. It appears rapidly after the onset of illness. Some people’s hands can be so sweaty that you feel like wiping your hands on a towel after touching them. The symptom tends to be best noticed in weather above 20% humidity and at moderate temperatures, say 23-30 degrees Celsius.
With time the symptom, fades or disappears. Older patients with Paill Spectrum may not demonstrate this symptom at all.
Memory Changes
These can be very subtle but very annoying. Many patients only notice symptoms after many years. They eventually begin to notice that their memory for phone numbers has deteriorated. Once when they were younger, they could remember 20 phone numbers of friends and acquaintances without any problems. They now find that their memory is really tested by trying to remember even a few numbers. Other people lose so much memory that they begin to write reminders or notes to themselves to remind themselves about literally everything. They begin to be worried about how much they are annoying their colleagues, because they have to be reminded again and again about events. Some patients substitute mobile phones for “notes” as a reminder system. The occasional severely affected patient gets lost on the way home, even when they have travelled the same road a thousand times before. Others have stated that they have become lost in shopping malls.
Testing phone number recall can document the nature and type of deficits and the response to treatment. In children, shorter number groups are used for recall testing. Unusual patterns of flips, mirrors and reversal may be apparent, see Dyslexia.
Many symptoms of illness and medical complaints have no known cause. The Paill Spectrum model identifies a symptom cluster and confirming blood tests. The model suggest new treatments may be possible for number of symptoms ( mood changes and irritability, rage, sweaty hands, clumsiness or loss of balance, sore shoulders or sore stomach) and medical conditions (tennis or golfers elbow).
There are many more symptoms of Paill Spectrum. While the symptoms appear random in their nature, they are actually closely related.
