Cool email domains, free email server

I recently found a very cool site (www.mail.com) which is a free email server and allows you to choose from a variety of cool domains, such as

@lawyer.com
@myself.com
@london.com
@doctor.com

etc etc

So I created myself two (one for personal and one for work)

rockin.robyn@london.com (Not so original, I know, but thought @london.com was cool!)
and r.kemptonprosser@london.com

:) Happy days!

Anti Epileptic Drugs Cause for Child Birth Defects?

"A Sussex woman who claims her four children had birth defects because of the epilepsy drug epilim is to see her battle for compensation end."

A woman taking epilim, a prescribed anti-epileptic drug had one child at the age of 19, following an additional three children, before she became aware of the effects that the health promoting drug could have.

The mother of four opened up a case regarding belief that it was indeed the medication she was taking that had caused the difficulties and defects her children were born with, but the case has now been closed down due to a withdrawal of Legal Aid.

However the company who manufactures and distributes the drug throughout the UK, which 'calms down epilepsy', does not deny that the medication cannot cause problems such as birth defects, claiming that it has 'always provided appropriate precautions and warnings on the risks associated with possible side effects of the medicine'

Being epileptic myself I find this case quite appaulling that it was, quite obviously, not made clear enough by either the woman's Neurologist or the company, or perhaps even both, that the medicine could have such an adverse effect on something so important; children and birth.

Personally, I also believe that regardless of the company who manufactures the drug did not deny the effects it could have, they clearly did not advertise these effects well enough to their consumers....

Why would a woman taking medication that could cause problems to a growing foetus carry on taking the medication throughout her pregnancy? The answer is simple- She wouldn't.
