    Brain Injury or Stress?
    All military personnel returning from Iraq are now being screened for concus-
    sion. Sounds like but one step in a medical evaluation — except it’s a bigger
  • •• Pick Up and Delivery Available •••
  • deal than it might first appear.
    A recent study of 2,525 infantry soldiers published in the New England Journal
    1020 County Road • 212 Center Alabama
    of Medicine concludes that those who suffered concussions (mild traumatic
    256-927-4827 or 770-560-3506
    brain injury) were more likely to develop post-traumatic stress disorder than
    those who hadn’t.
    Additionally, it’s the PTSD that causes a lot of the subsequent physical symp-
    toms, not the brain injury. Some doctors were initially skeptical. (As was I.)
    Returning soldiers often experience memory loss, sleep disturbances, head-
    aches and problems concentrating — all of which are symptoms of both
    traumatic stress and brain injury. The one key symptom was headache — more
    often aligned with brain injury than PTSD. Another key point is whether a
    soldier lost consciousness during a brain injury, such as during a blast. Forty
    percent of those who did also met the criteria for PTSD, especially when the
    The Western
    event was combined with altered mental state (confusion) immediately after-
    ward.

    While I was initially skeptical about the study, I’m not now. The research seems
    pretty solid. What worries me is that those who are in charge of determining a
    327 Woods Road
    soldier’s disability compensation might well take the easy way out: “Oh, you
    don’t have brain injury; it’s just PTSD, which we can fix. No money for you.”

    Don’t Let April 15 Pass You By
    (c) 2008 King Features Synd., Inc.
    By: Terry Simmons
    State Farm ® agent
    April 15 has long been considered a date to avoid. Visions of tax men coming for your money
    are common in many advertisements on television and in print.
    Wouldn’t it be nice if you could do something to lower your federal income tax burden instead
    of mailing a big check on April 15? With a traditional Individual Retirement Arrangement (IRA), you
    may be able to do just that.
    A contribution of the 2007 maximum of $4,000 prior to April 15, 2008 could reduce your taxable
    income, making your federal tax burden less for the year. If you were 50 or older by the end of
    2007, you can add a $1000 catch-up contribution to potentially reduce the tax burden even more.
    If you already have a traditional IRA, plan to make a contribution prior to the April 15 deadline.
    If not, talk to a financial professional as soon as possible to start one.
    There are restrictions governing who may contribute to a traditional IRA. If you don’t qualify,
    consider a Roth IRA. You won’t get the federal tax advantages now, but qualified withdrawals can
    be made free of federal income tax during your retirement years.
    Either way, having a plan for retirement is important. You owe it to yourself to make the best
    plan as soon as possible.

    and that calorie-conscious women are looking for small steps to help them curb
    their cravings between meals without sacrificing on taste,” says Lisa Dorfman,
    R.D.
    To satisfy midday munchies, Dorfman offers some simple snacking tips:
