Detailed Information on Mental Retardation
Mental retardation is usually present at birth or develops early in life.
Mental retardation is a developmental disability that is marked by lower-than-normal intelligence and limited daily living skills. People who are mentally retarded function at an intellectual level that is below average and have difficulties with learning. Approximately 2.5 to 3% of the total population is mentally retarded. In most cases, it is a lifelong condition. There is no connection between mental retardation and gender or race. Gene defects such as phenylketonuria (PKU) can cause mental retardation if not found and treated early, as can hypothyroidism.
Does Fibromyalgia Actually Exist?
Fibromyalgia is not one single condition with one underlying cause and therefore it is highly unlikely that any one treatment will work for even a small majority of fibromyalgia sufferers.
Fibromyalgia is not one single condition. It does not have just one underlying cause. Because of this it is extremely improbable that any one treatment approach will be successful for the majority of fibromyalgia sufferers, regardless of what the makers of Lyrica want you to think.
