What is hydrocodone ??

I am addicted to the pain killer hydrocodone .

I want to stop but every time I do I get really bad withdrawals such as sweating and shaking, can't sleep, etc.

I was wondering if anyone out there has been through this on their own without going to a treatment center.

If so please tell me what to do for her and how long it took for the withdrawals to go away!!!!

HELP!!!!

Deaf woman who actually hears and talks !!

This is fascinating !!!

Veronika lost her hearing as a child, but had it restored by a completely implantable device manufactured by Otologics.

I wonder if it is more of a commercial than an unbiased discussion of the improvement that this young woman experienced.

One-hour facelift ?

"One hour face lift" is a marketing term for a mini lift which is designed primarily for superficial tightening.

It generally does not tighten the muscles nor the undermine the SMAS.

Thus, it does not last as long or provide as much improvement as a traditional face lift (also known as modern facelift).

With continual refinement of the traditional facelift technique, healing and costs have dramatically improved.

Wake up pills ???

A June 2000 study published in Psychopharmacologia studied the drug's effects on people's abilities to accomplish demanding tasks despite a lack of sleep.

At the United States Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory in Fort Rucker, Alabama, six pilots were kept awake continuously for two forty-hour periods.

They were given Modafinil in one session and a Placebo in the other.

The pilots were then evaluated in helicopter simulator flights, resting electroencephalograms (EEGs), and mood questionnaires.

The drug lessened the effects of sleep deprivation in four of six flight maneuvers tested compared to the placebo.

It also reduced slow-wave EEG activity (when one begins to fall asleep, EEG begins to slow) and decreased self-reported problems with mood and alertness.

Watch the Matrix scene when Morpheus shows Neo two pills: a blue and a red one. If Neo chooses the blue pill, he will wake up in his bed anf forget about everything that happened. If he takes the red one he will see "how far the rabbit whole goes":

What is Herniated Disc ?

As a disc degenerates, it can herniate .

That means the inner core leaks out , which is known as a disc herniation or a herniated disc.

The weak spot in the outer core of the disc is directly under the spinal nerve root, so a herniation in this area puts direct pressure on the nerve, which in turn can cause a pain that radiates all the way down the patient’s leg to the foot.

Upper Back Pain Treatment - Ice and Heat Therapy

Early treatment is important to speed healing and recovery.

Ice therapy for the first few days followed by moist heat can help relieve symptoms.

Store-bought ice products, ice cubes, or simply a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a towel can be applied 20 minutes every 4-6 hours.

Moist heat therapy can begin after 2-3 days of icing.

To prevent burns, wrap the heat source in a towel, and remove heat before sleeping.

Punctured store-bought packs should be discarded because the chemical gel can burn skin.
