    OMG I'm SO EXCITED! THERE IS HOPE YET:

    Science: Viagra can relieve menstrual cramps - Salon.com

    I suffer from severe primary dysmenorrhea, and have forever, to the point that I got a Mirena on the off-chance I would have the convenient side effect of not getting a period; I don't have 2-3 days to be out of commission every month. The only bad part is now I get a horrible mittelschmerz (ovulation pain) instead. Before the Mirena, I'd tried lots of different things--prescription naproxen, birth control of different kinds, and other painkillers, as well as a variety of herbal remedies. Some helped more than others, but none was a magic bullet that ended my pain. My hope is that they will continue to study Viagra as a treatment. This study was very small; future studies should be bigger.

    So far they aren't claiming anyone other than the shooter has been killed, though some are saying the shooter killed themselves. Live coverage on ABC is just reporting the two wounded plus the shooter dead.

    NBC news is claiming one student wounded and the shooter dead, from a self inflected gun shot.

    Makes my heart very heavy.....

    To start. We lurch from tragedy to tragedy. Each time we hang our heads in collective sorrow, our leaders spout the same platitudes, we bury the dead. And then we wait for the next tragedy and the cycle begins all over again....
