    Anyone else had costochondritis??

    Hi Stephanie, It was a steroid shot, so it's not systemic. It's injected right into the site. I don't like oral steroids and frankly, they probably wouldn't help much with this condition. But the shot is awesome!!!!! Reduces the inflammation in 24 hours!! It does hurt but is well worth...

    Stop teaching kids to write in cursive?

    Seriously??? Doing away with cursive?? WHY? My boys are in 3rd grade and Kindergarten and were both taught to print using the standard middle dotted line and then progressed to cursive. I think it is developmentally important to learn to write. Printing is fine for informal things, but...

    H1N1 WARNING:I got the vaccine 4 weeks ago and I was just diagnosed with H1N1!!

    This is exactly what makes me furious about this forum anymore. Not so much what is said but the tone of it. I have worked in the hospital for many years, the last 15 were in the ER. In OUR state if you are an employee you MUST report to the ER if you have been exposed to a communicable...

    Man spends 18 yrs in prison for crime he didn't commit

    I am just curious how the Huffington post and it's liberal bias, being soft on crime, persuaded a Manhattan judge to make this decision??? Stumped by that?? And why aren't we grieving for a man who lost 18 years of his life unfairly?? Does a drug conviction make you an automatic life time...

    H1N1 vaccine

    We all had a MMR titer drawn and it was found that our antibodies were only present in very small amounts because we had the vaccine in the 1960's and this was over 20 years later. That is why we needed a booster shot. I agree that the media has been confusing people and "over hyping"...
