He is a diabetic and I finally convinced him to go to the doctor because he could not turn his head it was so bad. The doctor gave him an antibiotic and he is taking this. How do I know when to take him to the hospital? He has not been running a high fever and he keeps putting heat back there. But his neck and back of his head is stiff and hard about the size of a golf ball! It is so scary to me. If he runs fever should I take him?It is hard getting him to the doctor! He does not want to go!

I am a volunteer at an aged care facility, i have only just started so i need as much guidance as possible. i work with about 6 to ten residents, who do not spend much time together, i think its mainly due to personality differences. most have mild signs of dementure, and nearly all of them appear to be bored out of their mind. They hardly even talk, even though they can. I was also dissapointed with the very small amount of resources i had at my disposal. I have gathered a few art supplies to take with me next time, but i would greatly appreciate and ideas or suggestions on activities etc. that i could try, or ideas on where to look for information

I received an email saying that covering your head with a blanket or a comforter while sleeping affects your brain function.

Im a bit alarmed with the email I got. The email also says that "no breakfast" affects your brain function too.

I cannot sleep without covering my head with a blanket. I do not eat breakfast as well.

Can these affect the function of my brain?

Which readily available supplement is best for weight gain... taking in price, gain success, and healthy-ness

I'm not a body-builder. Just a moderate exerciser who is willing to do a little bit extra to build upon my slender frame.

Before when it used to be infected, i used to take antibiotics until they were no longer effective. I switched to forever living aloe activator which i drip directly into my nostrils whenever i feel my sinus acting up or starting to be infected. Although it would seldom be seriously infected the last 2 years since i used the aloe activator, the pressure around my eyeballs gives me headaches. I am 54 yrs old, i don't smoke, i am physically fit thru jogging, working out and careful food intake. What should i do to to prevent my sinuses from being infected? is there a way to strengthen my body to be able to resist infection? Our house has a minimum of dust and i dont work or jog in a dusty environment. I would appreciate all the advice i can get.
