hey, well, I think I have this right, I'm just making sure.

Mr. Silvia's sister had a child with Wiskott - Aldrich Syndrome. Mr. Silvia does not have it. Mrs. Silvia has no history of the disorder in her family.

WAS is sex linked recessive and so only males have it but females can be carriers.

Is it possible for Mr. and Mrs. Silvia to have a child with WAS?

Okay those of you have have read my hundreds of questions I finally went to the doctor today for my follow up to my positive tests for PCOS...The doctor went ahead and gave me meds today...he put me on Fortamet instead of metformin...He said it's extended release to help me with the neg side affects...has anyone else took this or switched from metformin to fortamet....I do have regular periods but we are unsure if i'm ovulating or not. So along with the meds I am going to start ovulating tests....the main thing with the fortamet was for my weight...hoping it will help me loose weight and slow the growth of my facial hair....If anyone has any stories or ideas please let me know....thanks

I've developed a big tolerance to Temazepam (Restoril.) My doctor won't give me a larger dose saying it's dangerous. I have no argument with him.

But can I get back to normal if I don't take any for a long time?

And what about opiates.

I have a friend who claimed that he/she overdosed on sleeping pills. So I am trying to see if your story is accurate by getting as much info as I can. Thanks.

Please pray for my friend.

I will pick Best Answer probably tonight! But if not, tomorrow for sure!

My view is that organs start decomposing as soon as heart and brain functions cease.

Do you have experience with lenses that help to correct color blindness? I have been able to find very little information about these types of lenses.

I'm interested in knowing how well they work. (Does the wearer see a significant improvement in color distinction?)

Additionally, if you know of a brand name so I can do more research and find a doctor in my area that information would really be great!

Websites are also appreciated. I haven't had much luck googling.

Sometimes when I go snowboarding I accidentally do a "head-plant", whereby I fall head-over-heels (aka. head-over-feet). During this process I basically land on my head, but usually I only do this when I catch an edge in fairly soft and deep snow. I also wear a helmet, so the fall doesn't hurt too much. Immediatly after the "head-plant" I often "see stars". These are more like tiny, transparent lights that whizz around leaving little trails and are visible for perhaps up to a second before disappearing. They are a bit similar in appearance to the "floaters" inside your eyeballs which can be seen when you look at a bright, blank surface (eg. at the sky). I expect I am doing something which is hurting my brain before I see stars (don't try this at home kids), but I would like to understand what causes it.
