It can look almost identical on the surface. But if you were to take a magnify glass and zoom in on the individual moments of your day, you may be surprised by what you find. Within those 24 hours, there are mini lessons, opportunities to choose differently and open doors toward self-growth. The problem is we’re usually too busy to notice them. Take today, for example. There was the lady who blatantly and unashamedly pushed me out of the grocery line. I could have chosen to say something. But I didn’t. I was also late for an appointment. I could have carried the guilt I felt throughout the rest of my day. But I didn’t do that either. And there was that darn migraine. The headache that I’ve had since high school-the type that makes...

Free Full Text from Journal Watch Investigational Telcagepant Effective in Migraine (Medical News Today) In an industry-sponsored phase III study, 300 mg of telcagepant was as effective as five mg of zolmitriptan (Zomig), according to Tony Ho, M.D., of Merck Research Laboratories, and colleagues. Both were more effective than either placebo or a 150-mg dose of telcagepant, Dr. Ho and colleagues said online in The Lancet. Triptans such as zolmitriptan are currently viewed as the standard of care for acute migraine, but are associated with side effects such as dizziness, paresthesia, throat tightness, and chest discomfort. Because they also cause vasoconstriction, the trip...

That section also has a great series of v... HealthSkills Weblog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1813109 Mon, 22 Sep 2008 08:48:48 +0100 1813109
