  2. grave yard shift

    I worked midnights for 2 years...worst thing I ever did! There have been studies linking shorter life spans, carb craving, etc with working graveyards. I wouldn't be worried with working out before you go to work or after you get home so much as just working out whenever works best for you. I...

The statins (Lipitor, Crestor, Zocor, etc), work by blocking cholestrol production in the liver. The more...

  9. Afrin

    Most pharmacists will say to stay off of Afrin for at least 7 days before restarting it. Keep in mind that if you use oral decongestants, those too can lead to rebound congestion. Most people use Afrin for 3 days, then saline for another week, and alternate if they need to!
