Take It From Alonzo Mourning: Check Up On Your Kidneys
It s National Kidney Month and basketball star Alonzo Mourning is taking the opportunity to spread the word about a condition he has a personal connection to--chronic kidney disease. Chronic kidney disease is a condition where the kidneys do not function effectively and are unable to stimulate the bone marrow to produce enough red blood cells, help control blood pressure or rid the body of waste. More than 20 million Americans-or one in nine adults-are estimated to have chronic kidney disease and another 20 million are at increased risk. In 2000, Mourning was named National Basketball Association NBA Defensive Player of the Year and an Olympic gold medalist. That same year, Mourning began feeling unusually tired.

In fact, a separate AAE study showed that patients who have experienced root canal treatment are six times more likely to describe it as painless than those who haven t had the treatment. The expertise of endodontists, the dentists who specialize in root canal treatment, combined with anesthesia and advanced...

A few minutes turns into an hour and it s not just insomnia bothering you but you re becoming angry realizing that the loss of sleep you are feeling tonight will have an impact on how you feel tomorrow.
