I want to volunteer some time to help with Alzheimer's. I don't mind working with actual patients, but ideally I would like my efforts to be closer related to the root, where the time I spend is productively helping to find a cure. Anyone have any ideas?

Anyone work with Alzheimer's patients and/or the disease?

Went camping and tripped over a rock, fell and dirt and muck got stuck deep under my thumbnail. I cut the nail down and got some out, but there is still some dirt stuck underneath. Do I need to make a doctor's appointment or is continual application of bactine/hydrogen peroxide, etc., good enough?

I feel that the majority of doctors today have a tendency to treat symptoms, instead of why the patient is having the symptoms. Is that why most people who have life threatening diseases, don't find out until it is too late to save them? Especially cancer.

I am 44 year old and am suffering from back ache for the last 8 years or so. I understand that there are some exercises which can relieve the back ache.

It would be great if you could also give the link of some great websites which contains the pictorial descriptions of exercises for back ache.

I had breast cancer in 2003 (invasive ductal carcenoma, two 2cm tumours) which was treated by the usual treatments of mastectomy and FEC chemo. The biopsy showed that a good margin had been removed.

Since the beginning of May I have had some discomfort in my elbow, but only when I move it in certain ways and the fatigue has returned. It is my understanding that if it gets to your bones there is no treatment other than pain killers. I have 2 questions. Can anyone tell me what bone cancer feels like, and how long would I have approx before I would have too much pain to do the things I want to do?
