What's the difference between Methocarbamol and cyclobenzaprine?
- Posted:
- 17 Nov 2011 by pappy1958
- Topics:
- cyclobenzaprine, methocarbamol
Answers (1)
17 Nov 2011
Methocarbamol is a prescription muscle relaxant approved for relieving the pain associated with short-term, painful "musculoskeletal conditions," such as muscle spasms due to an injury. It should be used in combination with rest, physical therapy, and other treatments.
Cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride is a prescription muscle relaxant. It is meant to be used temporarily to treat muscle spasms due to injury or other muscle problems.
What med have you been prescribed? Maybe a doc who prescribed the meds could further elaborate, please seek medical advice.
Take care, best wishes!
I have been prescribed both Methocarbamol and cyclobenzaprine, but am still having severe muscle cramps and spasms. Great,,, what now?

Editor's Note: Shaun White, 16, pulled his bandana over his nose and, with a hearty "Aargh, Matey," won Snowboard Superpipe and Slopestyle at the '03 Winter X Games in January. This week, he's in Whistler to ride for the U.S. at the first Global Championships. Tucked between these snow events, Shaun entered his first pro skateboarding contest, finishing fourth in Vert at the Slam City Jam May 2-4 and qualifying for the X Games in Skateboard Vert.

Title: Arisaema triphyllum as an insect eater
Answered by: Damon Waitt
QUESTION:Is the Jack in the Pulpit an insect eater?
No, but it is pretty easy to see how the spathe (a large, cylindrical, hooded flower) of Arisaema triphyllum (Jack in the pulpit) (pictured right) could be confused with the pitcher of the insectivorous Sarracenia alata (yellow trumpets) (pictured left). Water collects in these "pitchers" and insects are trapped, decomposed, and partially absorbed by the plant.

About Me
https://www.facebook.com/dee.model.89 & Instagram @Ms_Dee89
My goal is to create different avenues of income, and I believe that ModelMayhem can be a key factor in acheiving my goal. I love the feeling of being in front of the camera and representing beautiful art.
I am open to doing different styles of modeling/acting/hosting, but I am NOT, at all, comfortable with anything provocative or involving nudity. NO NUDITY, OR IMPLIED! Please be respectful.
I am very friendly, outgoing, patient, easy to work with, and take direction well. I do like paying attention to detail, and am always bringing anything I can to make the shoot go easier for everyone. I am able to do my own makeup, and hair (if it's not too complex), but I am willing to work with others.
I take great care of my health, do not wear much makeup, and have clear skin & complexion.
Paying assignments will always take precedence over TFP, but I do want to build up my portfolio.
I do have many followers and friends on different social media accounts where I share any work I have done. I do credit the photographers, and their work. I can help build your online presence.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review my profile, and I know we can create some beautiful art together.
Have a beautiful day!

"The more things change," goes the well-worn maxim, "the more they remain the same."

What might not be so apparent, however, is that such calls to "wipe Israel off the map" constitute a serious crime under international law.

Half of the 20 tombstones in the Jewish cemetery of Swidin were broken March 1, according to Albert Stankowski of the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Warsaw. "This was done during the same time as the Claims Conference was visiting in Poland, and I have no doubt that the act against the cemetery was related," he said. Stankowksi was referring to a Claims Conference meeting last week with the government about compensation for Jewish property stolen by the Nazis and Communists.

On its face, it would surely be foolish to blame Daimler-Chrysler's extraordinary woes on the very dark history of Daimler-Benz. On its face, the combined company's deep decline is manifestly a function of bad economic judgments. After all, from the very start, the 1998 decision by Germany's Daimler-Benz to merge with Chrysler simply made no financial sense.

Now that Israel is again being pressured to follow a self-destructive "Road Map," a 23rd Arab state called Palestine is again in the process of being born. One serious but largely unforeseen effect of this grotesque birth (one in which only a gravedigger could wield the forceps) is greatly diminished "strategic depth" for Israel. Consequently there is a heightened probability of both conventional and unconventional war.

Video: Local experts talking Knicks, Bulls previews
Dec 23, 2011, 8:07 AM EDT
There was some great NBA talk on NBC's SportsTalk Thursday (and not just myself and Chris Sheridan making predictions), there were previews for the Bulls and Knicks from experts on the squads (and both friends of this humble blog, which is nice).
First, for the Derrick Rose and the Bulls, it was Aggrey Sam of CSNChicago.com breaking it down.
Then for Carmelo Anthony's Knicks it was UC Davis' own Howard Beck of the New York Times.

Before Shop-Eat-Surf, there were two sites I paid for premium content on. One is Surfline, the other is the Wall Street Journal. One is about all things surf, the other, the best business content site in the world. Shop-eat-surf is the intersection of those two worlds. Shop-Eat-Surf provides everything from coverage of events, people, brands and trends. However, beyond the Executive Edition "wall" is more meaty analysis and interpretation of financial statements, business models and brand philosophies; why certain brands and companies are succeeding, where others aren't. The Executive Edition is a must have read if the business of surf and action sports are on your radar screen.- By Jeff Berg, Co-owner, Surfline
I'm an avid reader of Shop-Eat-Surf because it's really the only online newsletter that I have found that is not only industry related, but also because it's not so "guy-centric." I find that a lot of the information I read on the site pertains to my business (as a swimwear designer) and keeps me up to date on what other companies and other women in the industry in general are doing which is not only inspiring but also helps me gauge the future direction of my business as well.
I feel privileged to read the Executive Edition because I know I am getting insider industry information before it hits the mainstream media channels. And it's always good to know what my friends are up to in the industry.- By Monica Wise, Founder, L*Space

Plus photos from Crossroads.
Down at Crossroads, I checked in with Jamie Thomas on Thursday to see how he thought the first event in conjunction with ASR went.
He said the vibe had been very positive, and that Wednesday had been particularly busy.
Having the event outdoors, with fewer rules and the ability to skate around, was really important, he said.
He said it was great to have a show that is organic and raw and outside so people feel free and comfortable, instead of trying to "bottle and package it into a contrived setting in a convention center," Jamie said.
Jamie said it was also great to be surrounded by peers – just skateboarders.
ASR flew out a group of core skate shops that usually wouldn't be able to afford to make it to the show, and even sent limos to the airport to pick them up, he said.
ASR was great to work with – easy and supportive, Jamie said, a real switch from how skateboarding was treated long ago.
"I think ASR felt for a long time that skateboarding needed ASR more than ASR needed skateboarding," he said.
Now, ASR has made an honest effort to see how skateboarding and ASR can work together, he said.
"Andy (Tompkins) and his crew have been great," Jamie said.
I did hear from a few cross-over retailers that carry skate and surf brands that they didn't particularly like having to leave the Convention Center and walk down the street to see skate brands because of time constraints.
So I asked Jamie if he would ever bring Crossroads back inside the building.
Personally, he said he's not into going back inside but he wants what is best for the skateboard industry and will consider other ideas if they make sense for the industry as a whole.
"But this is a nice solution," Jamie said. "It's a stone throw away … and skateboarding wants its own thing. It doesn't want to be packaged into a surf, extreme action sports show."

Eight of TV's toughest interrogators
by Allison Waldman, posted Aug 26th 2009 10:00AM
The fine art of interrogation may seem lost thanks to suspects lawyering up and the Miranda warning. Whatever happened to the days when a snarling cop could throw a perp against a brick wall to get him to squeal? Or a sly questioner could finagle a confession by laying on a guilt trip? Still, there are some very clever, brilliant interrogators plying their trade on these days. In fact, when you look at these eight interrogators, you'll probably agree that they know just how to get to the truth. Here are the eight top interrogators on TV today:
8. Captain James Brass, CSI
Brass is the most "old school" of all these interrogators. He's like Andy Sipowicz from NYPD Blue, only without the violence. Brass talks to suspects with a modicum of respect, but a healthy cynicism. He's seen it all and knows the truth is in there somewhere. He asks questions and waits for them to trip themselves up. When they do, he has them write it down. Despite the laconic attitude, Brass has the brass to get the job done.

Affleck movie sounds a lot like Skills Like This
Look out, buddy -- the dude from Good Will Hunting is stealing your movie!
The entertainment broadsheets have been a-twitter this week with news about The Town, the new crime thriller to be directed by and starring Ben Affleck. The film, based on Chuck Hogan's 2004 novel Prince of Thieves and also starring Mad Men's Jon Hamm and Frost/Nixon's Rebecca Hall, is all about a Boston bank robber, played by Affleck, who falls in love with the teller of a bank he held up.
Hey, wait a minute -- haven't we already seen this film?
Yes, the storyline does sound pretty similar to that of Skills Like This, the indie caper comedy directed by Denver-boy-done-good Monty Miranda that came out this spring and focused on a bank robber who falls in love with the teller of a bank he held up.
Then again, there are some big differences. Boston, for example, is nothing like Denver, since the former is overrun with Dunkin' Donuts and assholes and people there have a strange tendency to use straws when they drink soda out of cans. Also, while Affleck may be a man of many talents (or so we've been told), we're pretty darn sure he won't be able to pull off the mythic Jewfro sported by Skills star Spencer Berger in Miranda's flick.
That's right, Affleck, I said it. How ya like them apples?!

Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
David Poort | 15 Sep 2011 08:42 GMT | Health, US & Canada, Libya, United States
Little of the sprawling complex of Tripoli Central Hospital reminds its visitors of the hardships that took place there during the final months of Muammar Gaddafi's regime.
As staff members slowly return to their normal routines, hair-raising stories are emerging of what the doctors of the hospital have endured since the start of Libya's uprising in February.
Shortly after the first demonstrations in Tripoli were brutally dispersed by Gaddafi's army, the hospital was taken over by government troops, forcing doctors to report patients who came in with bullet wounds, doctors told Al Jazeera.
Many patients suspected of being anti-Gaddafi were taken away and have not been found since.
Evading the terror in the hospital corridors, a group of doctors affiliated with the hospital were said to have set up a network of secret field clinics throughout Tripoli, away from the eyes of security forces.
Private homes, schools and other buildings were converted into makeshift operating theatres, supplied with medical equipment that the doctors smuggled out of the hospital's storage rooms.
It was, according to the doctors, a dangerous undertaking, as stealing equipment from the hospital was sanctioned by severe punishment if discovered.
"We were undercover doctors," Noureddine Hassan Aribi, a vascular surgeon who was recently appointed as the hospital's director, recalls when asked about the days when it all started.
"It was a nightmare. There were horrible injuries. My colleagues and I treated many people in houses in the neighbourhood of this hospital. If the wounds were too complicated, we'd take them to a private clinic. We removed bullets and stabilised fractures, using primitive tools such a planks of wood and pieces of metal.
"We created 24 secret field hospitals all over Tripoli. Some of the doctors were caught by Gaddafi's forces and were taken to prison. At least one of them was killed and another one is still missing," doctor Aribi told Al Jazeera.
Gaddafi's adopted daughter
All the while life at the hospital had to continue as normally as possible, so as not to raise suspicions. That task was made all the more difficult by the presence of one particular surgeon in the hospital: Hana Gaddafi, the adopted daughter of the former Libyan leader.
Muammar Gaddafi once claimed that Hana had died in the 1986 US bombing of Tripoli. In fact, she finished medical school in Tripoli some years ago and recently started her second year as a general surgeon at the Central Hospital.
Her presence put extra pressure on the medical staff because none of the clandestine activities could be discussed in front of her.
"In the period before the uprising, Hana was doing a good job and she didn't bother anyone. But when the revolution started she showed the ugly face of the Gaddafi family. She started telling colleagues not to treat patients who were anti-Gaddafi, whom she called 'rats'," Aribi said.
During the last two days of Gaddafi's rule in August, the hospital was completely overrun by Gaddafi's troops, who demanded care for their wounded comrades. However, most of the doctors had agreed among each other to stay away from the hospital and only work in the neighbourhood's field hospitals.
After August 20, fighters of the National Transitional Council (NTC) who had taken over the city had taken a cardboard portrait of Gaddafi off the wall in the hospital and laid it on the entrance floor for people to tread on as a sign of disrespect for the former Libyan leader.
Some nurses refused to step on his portrait, which led to heated arguments with the NTC guards at the hospital entrance. Some nurses even left the hospital because of threats made over their perceived allegiance to the old regime.
"I too do not like to step on his portrait," Sahar, a fifth-year medical student and practitioner at the hospital, said. "I pity Gaddafi and I still feel compassion for him. The NTC cannot force me to do anything."
Normality returns
Today, a sense of normality has returned to the Tripoli Central Hospital.
The old pro-Gaddafi director disappeared shortly after the fall of the regime and was replaced by a board of five doctors, headed by Aribi.
There is adequate medical equipment and the supplies are reasonable, doctors told Al Jazeera. The only thing that still reminds visitors of the revolution are the hundreds of 'missing person photos taped to the corridor walls by desperate friends and family members.
Now that Gaddafi and his regime have gone, people visit the hospital to look for missing friends or family members in a grim database of photos of unidentified bodies that were taken to the morgue.
Many protesters, who were killed during the six-month crackdown, were secretly buried by family members without official procedures, for fear of retribution by the security forces.
As such, families of the deceased did not receive a death certificate that is needed to claim government compensation.
"Only now I dare to come here and tell the people at the morgue that I need a death certificate for my brother-in law," Abdullah Hassan, a teacher from Tripoli, said.
Hassan says his brother-in-law was shot dead by Gaddafi's troops during a demonstration in February and was buried in the garden of his own house.
According to Aribi, the Libyan healthcare system was in a constant state of crisis during the Gaddafi era.
"Gaddafi was anti-institution. That was his system, his philosophy. He thought that if he would destroy the institutions there would be no strong, organised opposition against his rule.
"A drastic change of mentality is needed from people who were conditioned to mistrust institutions and mistrust the government, as the whole system was built on corruption. People need to become aware that the new Libya will be for the Libyans, and not for Gaddafi," Aribi said.
Even so, Aribi is optimistic about the future of his country.
"We have the will, the knowledge and the skills to improve things. It just takes a lot of hard work."

With Gaddafi gone, many in Tripoli no longer have to hide their contempt for the toppled leader's eccentric manifesto.

After 42 years of Gaddafi's rule, Libya's new leaders are facing the task of rebuilding the country.

Ryan Adams
When the Xbox 360 hit stores last month and the system sold out within hours, a Berkeley business professor commented on the genius of Microsoft's marketing. "Shortages create a whole mystique of desirability," the prof said. Ryan Adams, take note. With the release of 29, Adams' third album this year (after the well-received duo of Cold Roses and Jacksonville City Nights), it's hard not to wonder about supply and demand. The album's not terrible (not great either), but damn, man, we just weren't ready. Make us want you tease us a little! This stripped-down collection of nine songs Adams has said represents each year of his 20s (shouldn't there be ten tracks?) would have seemed better had we had some breathing room after 2005's two previous offerings; then again, this is his only '05 disc without solid backing band the Cardinals, which factors into things too. The title track gets things off to a rough-and-ready start, and "Carolina Rain" is a classic alt-country story song, but most of the tracks are just too easy to skip over. The closing "Voices" tries to leave its mark, and it does manage to feel haunting, but only because it's about a ghost, not because it lingers long after the tale has been told and the disc's stopped spinning. For that, we need to care about what Adams is saying. And, really, all that we need is some space.

Rajon Rondo turns off free agents considering Celtics?
Jul 17, 2014, 9:45 AM EDT
Rajon Rondo has the ultimate support of Kevin Garnett.
But not everyone gets along with Rondo – and the list is apparently longer than just Ray Allen, whose feud with the Celtics point guard changed the Eastern Conference for years.
Replying to Jeff Clark of CelticsBlog, Jeff Goodman of ESPN reveals some illuminating information about how Rondo is viewed across the NBA.
Rondo can be prickly and hard-headed, which he admits. He once said of opponents, "We're not trying to be friends with anybody." I can definitely understand why the initial opinion of playing with him is unfavorable.
But if any free agents give it a second thought, the sentiment is ridiculous.
Rondo is a warrior on the court, fighting for every edge. So what he doesn't like his opponents? If you sign with the Celtics, you're his teammate now. He's absolutely someone you want on your side.
His pass-first style gives those around him easier scoring looks, and his defensive effectiveness also puts his teammates in position to excel on that end of the court. Rondo's game is extremely unselfish, which should turn on free agents.
Reading between the lines, maybe this is why Danny Ainge is so dogged in his pursuit of Kevin Love. When Love visited Boston – a transparent signal he's interested in the Celtics – he spoke briefly with Rondo. Perhaps Love is an exception who wants to play with Rondo. That would help explain the theory Ainge wants Love and Rondo or neither.
If Boston can't get Love, Rondo might be an impediment to other second stars.

Transgender woman dies after silicone injections
BY admin
July 13 2005 12:00 AM ET
A 45-year-old
transgender woman who received illegal silicone injections
at a party in a private home in San Diego has died after
nearly a month on life support, the county medical
examiner said on Monday. Patricio Gonzalez, who police
said received silicone injections to her hips,
buttocks, cheeks, and lips, died on Sunday. Gonzalez and at
least nine other people were injected at a so-called
pumping party on June 19, police said.
parties," where people seeking a more feminine
appearance have silicone injected into their bodies, have
been on the upswing in the past few years, experts
say. The silicone used at the parties is often
industrial-grade material, like floor sealant.
The Food and Drug
Administration banned direct injections of silicone in
1992, and the substance has been known to migrate within the
body and cause chronic, degenerative illnesses.
Gonzalez and
another transgender woman received more silicone than the
other party guests and suffered immediate respiratory
problems, prompting the Los Angeles-area woman who was
administering the silicone to flee, police said.
Police have issued an arrest warrant for Sammia
"Angelica" Gonzalez, 39, who was injecting the party guests
with silicone and is believed to have fled to Mexico.
The second
transgender woman, 30, was also comatose after the party.
There was no update on her condition from police on Monday.
Deaths stemming
from "pumping parties" are on the rise, with at least
five fatalities reported in Florida, Texas, and Georgia
since 2003. The illegal silicone injections are in
demand because it remains cheaper and easier than
plastic surgery, said Walter Bockting, the coordinator of
transgender health services at the University of Minnesota's
Program in Human Sexuality. Transgender women
often have humiliating experiences with traditional
surgery clinics, and surgeons often require a
psychological exam before they will consider treatment, he
"The greatest
danger is that people don't know what they're
getting," Bockting said. "People are very vulnerable because
of the self-esteem issues they suffer from, and they
are willing to risk long-term disaster to feel
A.J. Davis,
public policy director for the San Diego Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual, Transgender Community Center, said the center does
everything it can to discourage silicone injections.
"We talk to people about the dangers, and we provide
lots of information for nonsurgical alternatives," she
said. (Reuters)

Adopting CSR Standards 'Helps Companies Reduce Risk of Failure'
Companies aren't required by law to adhere to international corporate social responsibility standards. But according to Avril Cole, an attorney with Norton Rose Canada, adopting CSR standards could help companies with operations in emerging economies reduce their risk of failure, Corporate Underwriter reports.
CSR standards could give companies in emerging economies a competitive advantage, Cole said this week during a seminar in Toronto. CSR standards help companies assess the environmental and social impacts of their operations on local communities.
Cole said that international mining companies seem to be particularly active in adopting CSR. But companies in any industry can adopt them, she added.
Some 72 percent of companies now have formal corporate responsibility programs, up from 62 percent in 2010, according to the annual CR Best Practices Survey released in December by Corporate Responsibility Magazine. Despite the rise, the survey found mid-sized firms trail small and larger companies in the adoption of CSR programs.
Cole said that stakeholder engagement provides valuable intelligence about a company's political risks, and successful analysis of that information can effectively counterbalance the risks. Companies can build goodwill and avoid political issues that can threaten their business by working with local communities.
Even companies without direct operations in emerging economies can have an impact in those developing countries. Environmental sustainability is increasingly a key factor in supply-chain decisions, according to a Jones Lang LaSalle survey released Monday. In the survey, more than 70 percent of JLL procurement managers surveyed said they see the importance of green products and services. And yet only 13 percent were able to point to company programs that recognize vendors for improving their carbon footprint, energy efficiency or environmental performance.

A few small contact marks in the right obverse field and short pinscratches above Liberty's head account for the grade.
From the Hans Poetsch Collection. (PCGS# 11966)
