Perhaps, this is a definite clicking. Thank you for the share, though
- any data is worth filing away, never know when it'll be needed!

Ok, that's hysterical. That truly made my day, man, I love stories
like that!

Question please, which meds are fast/easy to get over or off of and which
are not? long/painful, thanks for the recap, I believe I remember methadone
on very bad about coming off of and that ms-contin isn't a picnic either so
how about oxy? codone and contin thanks, there was a lawsuit over how
addicting oxy is or was not to long ago but I didn't see how severe the
withdrawal or length of time it took get out of your system if that was even
part of the suit, anyway, as always, many thanks well in advance...Joe

Chronic pain sufferers face many challenges in their lives. The
inability to know what their energy and pain level will be from day to
day is a frustrating part of their life that never goes away. However,
there are ways that you can better manage your pain and cope with your
condition. These ways will help you have more good days than bad, and
keep you releasing your own natural pain killers.

Iron supplements might harm infants who have enough
ANN ARBOR, Mich.---A new study suggests that extra iron for infants
who don't need it might delay development -- results that fuel the
debate over optimal iron supplement levels and could have huge
implications for the baby formula and food industry.

"Our results for 25 years of research show problems with lack of iron.
For us to find this result is a big deal, it's really unexpected,"
said Dr. Betsy Lozoff, University of Michigan research professor at
the Center for Human Growth and Development, and the study's principal
investigator.

it out for comments as appropriate, and the prospect that there may be
some
stuff in it of value to someone. Especially since proglumide has only
been
mentioned twice in this newsgroup.
