Generally, information for the senses is routed through a thalamus. If a person suddenly lost the ability to detect odors, why would it be safe to assume this had nothing directly to do with the thalamus?

I take 3 x 100mg MS Contin per day plus 8 Panadene Forte per day for lower back pain and Peripheral Neuropathy. I also take 3 Hypnodorm at night for sleep.
I have become tolerant of this medication mix and would like to know if anyone has any ideas for alternative medication.
I have already been down the Epilim Nurontin and others path to no avail.
Please help.

I know the doctors cut the umbilical cord at birth and the rest dries as falls off and you are left with an "innie" or "outie" button.
My question is: Is it really (as in very) closed?
I'm looking at mine and wondering if there is a slight opening at all.
Pressing on it, I hear a slight gas sound (I have a small hernia from a heaving incident) and deep down in it (I have an "innie") there seems to be a scaring. Even if I scrub it in the shower, pretty much clearing this "scaring" it comes back very soon. I'm not sure if everyone has this scaring due to this perpetual "injury" so to say. (And yes I'm sure it's a scaring, not some kind of discharge)

I hope someone can shed some light, try to address my actual question please - closure and the scarring
THANKS!

My multi-vitamin has about 100 or more percent of the recommended daily dose for each mineral and vitamin. If I get extra vitamins and minerals from my meals and from this vegetarian protein shake I take, will I be getting too much vitamins/minerals? Could I overdose?

For instance, my multi has 35 mg, 175% of Niacin; my shake has 20 mg, 100%. In addition to that, I will probably be getting some extra niacin from the foods I eat. Am I getting too much?

Would it be safe to take my multi along with my two veggie shakes daily?

If you do not understand my question, please ask in your answer, as I will check back to answer anybody's questions.

Please tell me the source of your information- whether it is from google or you are a healthcare professional.

What are some good ways to incorporate calcium into our diets? How would you advise someone with lactose intolerance?.... i.e., what foods could they eat to get the recommended amounts of calcium? What other nutrients are important in bone health?

If I become a doctor, I will definitely work for Doctors Without Borders. However, the pay is minimal and by doing it for many years I will sacrifice the chance to start and help raise a family earlier in my life (since I will be eligible for DWB after I'm 31). Therefore, as much as I would love to, I cannot do it for the rest of my life. What other things can I do besides Doctors Without Borders that will help people who really need medical help? Thanks!!

everything went well
but until about 5 mins after the lady inserted the needle in to my vein, and there was about half pint up, the blood stopped flowing, and instead, the blood went back to my vein and caused it to swell up
and that lady had to take the needle out
what happened?
i'm an athlete, i'm healthy, my vein is big, though.
and she said she likes my vein :DDD
