High triglyceride levels
Sunday, October 26th, 2008Hydrocodone addiction
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008I have a daughter who is addicted to Vicoden. She has been taking 10 a day for almost 9 years. I’ve begged her to go to a rehab center but she won’t go. Can this damage her brain or any of her other body organs.
Any and all replies would be appreciated.

Do you have Fibromyalgia? Do you know someone that does? If you have been diagnosed with Fibro or know someone who has, you will say YES, Fibromyalgia is real!
So, why are there differences of opinion on the validity of this condition? Could it be because more woman [...]
