Migraine increases risk of severe skin sensitivity and pain
ST. PAUL, Minn. People with migraine are more likely to experience exacerbated skin sensitivity or pain after non-painful daily activities such as rubbing ones head, combing ones hair and wearing necklaces or earrings, compared to people with other types of headache, according to a study published in the April 22, 2008, issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Researchers surveyed 16,573 people with headache about their type of headache, frequency, quality of life, depression and other illnesses that cause pain. The survey identified 11,737 participants with migraine, 1,491 with probable migraine (individuals have all but one of the symptoms required for migraine diagnosis) and 3,345 with another kind of headache. The study found that 68 percent of those who reported almost daily headaches (chronic migraine) and 63 percent of those with episodic migraines reported allodynia, the name of this intensified and unpleasant, painful skin sensitivity.

Anti-sex slavery activist in Denver tonight
Working as a teen-aged sex slave in a Cambodian brothel, Somaly Mam says she served up to 30 clients a night. Some hit her. "I never thought, just lived hour by hour. I played with nothing. In my head: nothing. It was dark, dark, dark. I never trusted people," Mam said Friday during a visit to Denver. "I was dead." She tried suicide, she said. Her turning point: the day a brothel pimp fired a bullet through the head of her friend, Srymom, who dared refuse customers - warning other girls to obey. Mam said she then began trying to help a newcomer, a girl with dark skin like her, and eventually used the brothel keys to set her free. Brothel owners soon released Mam, deeming her too old for Cambodia's booming sex trade. Ever since, Mam has been arranging rescues of child sex slaves - more than 4,000 over the past decade.

Acanthosis Nigricans: Skin that points to internal disease
Skin conditions often bring people to the doctor quicker than other problems. Whether it be because of cosmetic concerns or the fact that some skin problems are very symptomatic (i.e. cause itching) most nondermatologist primary care physicians see patients for these conditions every day. While the tendency with skin problems is to think "skin disease," doctors know that some are signs of an internal problem. Such is the case with Acanthosis Nigricans (AN) a darkened raised looking area of skin. To see pictures visit tinyurl.com/59usae. .
