Anna Nicole Smith, The Investigation

[pnz1]

IMO, I thought he was being evasive (for lack of a better word). He didn't want to answer, didn't know, wasn't a doctor, etc. etc. Isn't this the part of the testimony where he just stood up and wanted to talk to his lawyer? I didn't know you could even act that way as a witness?

Wecht said that, too - but Perper has already refuted it.

What are Topamax's FDA Approved Uses:

Topamax is used by itself or with other meds to treat a variety of forms of epilepsy. These include:

Simple partial seizures - you're still awake (more or less), with symptoms such as one or two limbs spazzing out or wacky visual or other sensory distortions. Think Alice in Wonderland, as Lewis Carroll must have had some serious temporal lobe issues. The fist link will take you to a better explanation. For a really detailed explanation of what a simple partial seizure is, click here.

Complex partial seziures - the people around you think you're just acting out to get attention. In reality you have no control over what's happening. Again, click there for the basics, click here for what neurologists think about this type of seizure.

Generalized tonic-clonic - the classic definition of a seizure, when you're completely flopping all over the place like a fish out of water. For the neurologist's view, click here.

Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. If your child has this, my heart goes out to you. If you don't know what it is, consider yourself fortunate. See also Keppra, which has tested well for Lennox-Gastaut.

Topamax is also approved to treat migraines. And please, people, a migraine isn't a really bad headache. If you aren't brought to the ground by the nausea, the sensitivity to light and sound, and the jackhammers that have taken up residence in your head for at least a couple of hours, you don't have a freaking migraine.

What are the Off-Label Uses of Topamax:

Topamax is also used for:

Adjunctive treatment for adults with Bipolar Disorder
and Adjunctive treatment of children and adolescents with Bipolar Disorder. so when used with other meds it tests well.
In Monotherapy for Bipolar Disorder, and another study here it's not that great used by itself for random bipolar patients, but more about that in the comments section.
Cluster headaches. Although from that study and some case histories it looks like you want to try the standard treatments first. Topamax will do its usual thing of working great for half the people and really messing up the other half.
Eating Disorders. See also the abstracts for these two more recent studies here and here, both of which confirm the first.
Vanity Dieting, a.k.a. Topamax for weight loss when you're not mentally interesting, where it failed utterly in the two clinical trials for dieting and it continues to mess people up to use it for dieting purposes.
Fibromyalgia - anecdotal evidence only. I don't have enough to tell you one way or the other.
Depression (when used for obesity).
PTSD.
Alcoholism.
Sleep Disorders, including combined sleep-eating disorders.
Autism, mostly anecdotal evidence only, including mine, and usually dealing with sensory integration. So don't force it down your kids' throats. It's an adult thing. Either it helps deal with sensory integration or it doesn't.
Healing old external scars (such as from self-injury). Mixed reports from anecdotal evidence, but mostly positive.

I've seen a few on TMZ as well. I think the ones on TMZ are just posting just to stir the pot. They are also very Anti Virgie and iffy on Larry. Even if he didn't kill ANS and DS he is still a pretty pathetic guy and I don't see how anyone could be rooting for him.

[sarasota]

Perhaps it depends on whether they are defense attorneys or prosecutors.

[Southerngl]

>>>"It's all about the $$$$$"
I think O'Quinn wants the $$$$$$$.>>>

Yes, he's convinced Virgie that SHE should get the baby. SHE lost a daughter. SHE lost a grandson, SHE deserves that little baby.

"Oh and by the way, I can handle that estate settlement if you'd like Miss. Virgie."

[Southerngl]

>>>That whole diatribe from O'Quinn calling DL's father (whoever he is) nothing but a "sperm donar" should make it clear that he and Virgie are also in it for the money.>>>

Did he call that baby's father a 'sperm donor'???

Well I'll be. After all this time of defending that money grubbing hussy!!! Looks like Anna was right. Sheesh!

[Sacajaweau]

A little off-track BUT: If the "I Hate Mommy" video never aired, what people say about Virgie would likely be TOTALLY different, especially since she raised Daniel from the age of 3 mos. to 6 years old.

You know....through those years where we are all saying: "I can't wait until he/she goes to school." Of course, we stand there and cry when they do go off but it passes REAL QUICK. :-)

[Sacajaweau]

Despite everything we hear, I don't think that Tex came out of the woodwork. I think the Trumpster made a call.

If you point me in the direction of video clips of HKS testimony, I will work on transcribing.

Many of them are females...

The way I see it they can take the drug enabler, squatter, baby stealer, bum, home with them. I wonder how long he would last before some of these gals would wake up?

Personally I like tall dark haired men, but Stern is just creepy looking and has the presence of a boring rock.

Larry is sweet and I bet he is funny. I think he has a good soul and that is what attracted me to him first (not his looks). He kinda grows on you and he is not bad looking - but I think he is a whole package and that is what make him easily likable to a female. I know he made one cute little baby and I think she takes after him more than she does her mother.

I hope he finds a nice girl who would make a good wife and mother for his little pumpkin. But I sure hope he does not get a big head over all the media attention.

THUD... LOL

[Arizona Carolyn]

I noticed those comments and found them very strange as well.

[stlnative]

Was it you that started the THUD thing?
If it was someone else who was it?

Put a baby diaper on him... just cut a hole for the tail.. I have one dog that has potty training issues and as a result pretty much lives in a diaper.... doesn't bother her in the least and saves a lot of stress for all.

[Rte66]

No can do - since I can't click them, I ignore them. Sorry.

I am about to do that to my little female 10 pound dog.
I will take her outside and she pees a little here and little there. She is more worried about checking everything out instead of peeing. Then I will bring her in and 10 or 20 minutes later she pees on the tiled floors (never the carpet).

She gets crated at night and will not pee her crate, so I know she can hold it and I take her outside as soon as I remove her from the crate. I walk her for 20 minutes to 30 minutes.

She was a rescue dog and I adopted her when she was 5 months old but she was in a crate mostly during those 5 months.
She has sweatshirts, coats, t-shirts, etc to keep her warm while we are outside in cool and cold weather. She loves to wear her sweatshirts and gets pissed off if you take them off. (shorthaired little 10 pounder who has to have clothing to keep her warm. I cannot stand to see a dog shiver)

Anyhow she is about to be diapered as I have to take her out about every hour for about 10 minutes and still she pisses in the house sometimes.

Celebrities dissing their parents and cutting them off...lol. I think often time it is fueled by ego. Look at Angelina Jolie. Her dad was good enough to star with her in Tomb Raider but she starts acting batty and he says something about it and then all of a sudden she's whining about how he cheated on her mother and she cuts him out. Pot Meet Kettle. Demi Moore did the same with her mother and also Jennifer Aniston.

OT...Has anyone seen the commercials for Til Death Do Us Part hosted by John Waters on Court TV??
