Studies show at least 80 percent of women have cellulite. It's just a fancy name for lumps of fat that push against tissue under the skin, but most women say there's nothing fancy about having it.

HOUSTON (FOX 26) -
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is a debilitating condition that follows a terrifying event.
It's certainly a problem for our war veterans, but it can result from any type of traumatic event.
Baylor College of Medicine hopes that any woman with PTSD will come forward for a unique study. They've developed the first drug ever made specifically for the problem.
Before now, only anti-psychotic or anti-depressant drugs were available.
"It's a 6-week placebo-controlled trial, meaning half will get a placebo and others will get the drug we're testing. The drug itself is called a CRF-antagonist. CRF is a peptide in the brain that is associated with stress."
Doctors will perform tests, like an M-R-I and saliva samples, to look at stress hormones.
If you'd like to be part of the study, we have a link on our web site on how to get involved.
