It is the one delightful day out of the year when we express our deepest googley-eyed feelings with boxes of chocolates, dozens of roses and a slap in the jaw with some sacrificial goat guts.

That's right, the foundation of Valentine's Day is said to have sprouted from Lupercalia, the Roman holiday of fertility and purification.

To make this long History Channel story short (and to spare most of Lupercalia's gruesome sacrificial goat details,) the names of every single Roman lady was thrown into a hat - after she was gently slapped with the aforementioned unmentionables - because they believed it brought fertility.

Each Roman bachelor then picked out a lady's name and the couple was paired together for an entire year, most of which resulted in marriage.

Study findings also show that Cymbalta did not adversely affect the progression of diabetes or many of the complications associated with the illness, such as damage to the nerves, kidneys and eyes.

The findings, published in the current issue of the Journal of Palliative Medicine, "suggest that with Cymbalta, clinicians can expect a similar level of quality of life without compromising safety or tolerability," explained Dr.

Tim Smith, a study author and clinical instructor of medicine at Washington University School of Medicine.

The 52-week study compared Cymbalta, a non-narcotic prescription medication for the management of diabetic nerve pain, to routine care, defined as therapies that the investigator and the patient believed permitted the optimal benefit to the patient, such as anticonvulsants an...
