I've recently been diagnosed with degenerative spine disease. I was diagnosed to have three bulging discs in my lower spine (lumbar.) I've since herniated one or more discs over the past week and my Doctor took me off Vicodin and put me on Morphine. Needless to say the pain has significantly decreased, and the side effects are mild. The spine specialist suggested surgery only as a last resort. She said it might not help at all and could possibly make it worse. The question is, should I have the triple disc replacement or should I remain as I am. Slowly but most definitely becoming hooked on the Morphine for an indefinite amount of time?

I started using a new conditioner about a month ago - but not all the time and it still happens. They look like bug bites but they are too small to be mosquitos - I know they are not bedbugs because my boyfriend does not have them either. Any ideas on why this happens - they are so itchy!

He has been diagnosed with acute kidney failure. He has cut back to 7 oz. of protein a day. He eats apples and carrots for snacks. He is limited on carbohydrates, of course. He is losing weight in an effort to keep his kidneys as healthy as possible. Glucerna has both protein and sodium. Is their something else?

As a young successful woman classified with it, I’m pretty insulted at the level of ignorance and false ideas people have of Aspergers. Ignorant and bigoted “neurotypical” folks such as yourselves are failing to acknowledge that this so called disorder has more good symptoms then bad including high intelligence. Albert Einstein and Sir Isaac Newton both had Asperger’s syndrome. My great uncle and great grandfather had Asperger’s- one was a doctor and the other was an inventor! Did it ever occur to you that maybe one of the main factors hindering our social shortcomings is that our above normal intelligence alienates ourselves from commoners? Growing up, I didn’t have many friends, not because I couldn’t, but because I didn’t want to. It’s not like people didn’t offer to my friend. It was a choice. I didn’t want friends because I was bored by their idiotic activities, whereas I was interested in activities that involved deeper thinking. Years later when I changed my mind and adjusted my attitudes, I decided I wanted friends. It was a big struggle at first, not so much because of the innate factors of Asperger’s syndrome, but because of my lack of social experience. I had a lot of catching up to do. However, my social skills gradually developed with time, and now I could say my social skills are relatively high functioning. And while I have friends now, I still enjoy plenty of peaceful “alone” time, since I’m a naturally solitary person; because that’s what we Aspies are- solitary intellectuals. And I enjoy being this way. Different is not inferior. Not wanting to be conformist sheep doesn’t make us weird. How is that Aspergers is considered a neurological disorder but homosexuality isn’t? How about instead, looking at real problems like Alzheimer’s, cancer, and the breakdown of the American family?( In case you need common reference, Lisa Simpson is a classic example of an Aspie).

Does anyone else here have Synesthesia? It's so hard to find people that can relate to my odd view of the world...
If so, what types do you have? I have...
Color->Sound
Movement->Sound (the kind of movement that doesn't produce sound, like hair moving in the wind.)
Color->Taste
Color->Pain
Touch->Color
Color->Emotion
Color->Personality
Color->Age
Color->Gender

For all of you skeptics that think I'm crazy... just so you know I have never done any dru.gs.

I was talking to my son earlier and all of a sudden my speech got jumbled and I couldn't remember simple words for things. I would be trying to say one thing and another would come it. It only lasted about 10 minutes, but it scared me to death. Any ideas as to what would cause that?
