Hi
I am looking for details on arteritis, which is something that my mum has been diagnosed with following a byopsy.
My mum has suffered with a poor vascular system for many years.
Her legs are riddled with varicose veins & now she suffers terrible headaches.
I am convinced that her diverticulitis is restricting blood flow to the head.
This may sound rediculous but I can't help but think that the veins throughout her whole body are affected in some way or another & that it is the whole body that needs to be assessed.
The headaches that she suffers have started since she had dental treatment.
In particular when she had a mecury filling fitted, this too makes me wonder if this has something to do with the onset of headaches.
I just wondered if there was anyone else who can see a common link between:
Diverticulitis
Varicose Veins
Hiatal Hernia
Meniere's Disease
Arteritis
THANK YOU
Love & Hugs

I have headaches nearly all the time but am woken by them in the early hours . They usually go within a few hours of getting up and moving about which makes me think it may be circulation problems . Can you describe your Mums headaches ?
Hello- caught sight of this post because I'm treating someone with temporal arteritis at the moment. (With homeopathy).
And yes, I can see how the conditions are linked. Unfortunately, the medical profession might not link them up! They are more inclined to see bits of the body as separate and unrelated to each other- which is where something like homeopathy or other complementary therapies come in. They view everything as inter-related and so usually look at the whole picture of a patient's health, rather than separate symptoms, in their treatment.
Mercury fillings aren't a great idea- but probably not everyone is very sensitive to them- so that may not be affecting your mum at all.
The trouble with arteritis, is that it's so painful, most people just want treatment (any) and fast.......hope she finds an answer that suits her. Hom
Hi
Arteritis is inflamation of the walls of the arteries, usually the result of infection or auto-immune response. Temporal arteritis affects the blood vessels to the head, eyes and optic nerves and may account for the headaches your mum is experiencing, go back to the doctor, treatment is usually an oral steroid to reduce the inflamation however as hom says this treats the symptom and not the cause.
