    I used Mirena for about a year for period control. Loved it. It stopped 80% of my cramping.

    SUSIE!!! Get a collar that is breakaway/stretchy/get-outable. Cats go places they shouldn't go, and WP needs a collar that won't strangle him if his neck gets stuck somewhere. I'm not going in to work tomorrow. Planning on working from home, but that depends on the effects of the narcotics. Didn't see the bottle, but my brother was quite impressed...

    Although it has been stated on this site (without references) that someone is unable to publish studies that are contrary to current thinking, this is not true. No, I can't prove this, but it's the business I'm in, and I know it. There are hundreds of peer reviewed journals. Anyone can publish anything. Period. There are also internet "journals" that...

    I'm home! Cat's are thrilled. They shot my knee up with pain killers, so, for the moment, life is grand

    Not too late. Heading out in about 15 minutes. A bunch of hospitals here are all within 5 blocks of each other, including the one where I work, so I'll be walking to my knee surgery

    You can't know if anyone's information is fact based, or made up on the spot. If a site, however, lists its sources, you at least have the opportunity to investigate further, and form an opinion based on multiple sources. Since it's what I do, I actually trace back information to the original studies, look at the results, and decide if I draw the same...

    You may find that feeling well is such a pleasant experience that you have no interest in ever eating gluten again.

    hmm. I question the doc, make sure s/he thinks it's really necessary. I read the company provided literature on the web. Search for adverse reactions from other users. Only if I am completely convinced that it's the right choice will I go buy it. There ain't nothin going into my body that doesn't need to.

    hmm, goo vibes. I guess I could use a little more goo in my knee. Might make it feel better. The whole experience is expected to last less than 2 hours, from showing my face at the door, to showing my heiny to the door as I leave.

    Well, I certainly wouldn't argue that point. Anyone that wants to sell you something takes great pains to make it look good. I think that you should use a company's literature for what something is supposed to do, but then look at many different sources to find out what else it does. I also consider that people are more likely to speak up when they...

    Pretty minor. Torn cartilage and loose bits. I was told to stay off my my feet for 48 hours, then back to work. Didn't even tell my boss I won't be in tomorrow. He'll never notice

    I'm so excited? relieved? apathetic? My knee surgery is today. Can't wait to be able to straighten my leg again

    You can always ask them for it. In fact, I hope you do. It benefits everyone to know that people are posting something they've researched, as opposed to something they've heard.

    I'm sorry that this was your experience, and I applaud you for taking you time and energy to spread what you've learned. All I ask is that you list your sources so that you've given others a place to start their own research.
  16. Jestgar
    None of these list their references. It's perfectly fine to cite them as your source, but my personal response to looking at them is 'these are crap'. It colors how much validity I would give your statements.

    Rule number 2: # Do not promote your own business, Web site or products--even if they offer free services. The proper place to post your Web site, business or other services is in your profile, not in your signature block or in posts. Non self-promotional links are fine.

    I am so sorry. I don't know how this got missed.
