First Day, OMS 1

Well as the saying goes "Thrown into the fire"; here is the basics of our first day. We had 2 biochem lectures and it was my groups biochem workshop day. Then lunch, followed by anatomy lecture and lab in the afternoon. After class SOMA had a BBQ and we played a bit of basketball. Now it is day 2 and we have lectures 3 and 4 in biochem, and OMM lecture/lab in the afternoon. It is college at a faster pace. . The feeling of the first day of school was like no other. Growing up I knew I was always going to go to high school, then college. Medical school has been my path because I dedicated my time and efforts to becoming a good canidate. This time starting school, I was anxious, and had a few butterflys the night before. As I start the first week, I now understand why schools seek out such high demands for admission. To prove to the student that you can go beyond your limits. To become a master in the field you must push yourself even further. If medical school is where you learn to become a physician, I started the frist time I over came an enourmous challenge, and I will finish when I retire. This profession never stops learning, or pushing to higher limits.

My name is Maria Mody and i would like to show you my personal experience with Soma.

I am 52 years old. Have been on Soma for 2 days now. This drug, at 350 mg/day, did relieve the spasms in back and shoulders quite well. It allowed me to sleep well also. But for me, the side effects are heavy duty, so I would only use if the spasms are cripplingly painful. I had NO weird side effects with Zanaflex, although that doesn't work as well, nor with 5mg of Valium, but that's a bad drug to come off of. So, Soma's good for spasms but can have some disturbing side effects. AND: don't abuse this drug! If you do you'll end up a vegetable, and ruin things for people who really need it for pain.

I have experienced some of these side effects-
Soma gave me a dry mouth, and made me feel paralyzed. It gave me a strange spaced-out feeling, and almost felt like it was causing my muscles to quiver. Also upset my stomach, gassy and then blocked.

I hope this information will be useful to others,
Maria Mody
