About 5 years ago I developed an allergy to suncreams, I have tried so many, even hypo allergenic ones - is there an alternative I can use that protects against the sun whilst I am outside?

Anybody out there who is desperate to give up smoking? Have been smoking 20 a day for the last 13 years and am absolutely sick of it- the smell, my health and the cost. Dont feel like you want to go to a support group? Want to do it on line? Want to use nicotine replacement therapy? Could support one another on line. Could set a quit date and go from there. Also anybody that has quit, if you have got any tips for giving up it would be much appreciated

This past weekend, the daughter of my fiancee fell very ill and has been hospitalized. When she is released from the hospital in about three days, we expect the bills to exceed $10,000.00. My fiancee has no medical insurance (she can't afford it), and doesn't make much money to begin with.

Are there any charitable organizations, or government agencies that she can go to for financial assistance? I fear the wieght of the medical debt will be crushing to her, and I can only help so much myself. We currently live in Chicago.

I generally don't get headaches at all, but for about a month, I have had a constant, dull achey headache in the back of my head, and in the upper portion of my neck (in the back). Is this just a tension headache, or could it be serious? The pain is not intense, just annoying. I am also wondering if this could be related to putting a goose feather bed over my mattress? I am used to a more firm mattress.

I have noticed lately that two of my grandchildren are developing spoon shaped toenails. They seem to be getting the proper nutrition. Any ideas (serious ones please) as to why this is happening AND is there a way to reverse it so they can have more normal looking nails???

I recently have had a very sore back and neck combination that has lasted almost a week. I have "slept wrong" before and experienced similar pain, but never this bad or for this long. I feel it down my arm, up my neck, and right in the middle part of my upper back. What can this be and how can I make the pain less severe?

Several years ago I had arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn medial menicus. I've had several injuries to that knee, over the years, and have arthritis and have long suspected that a Baker's cyst has developed behind my knee. I had all the symtoms. The other day I tripped and fell, hitting the front, lower part of my bad knee on the floor. It was very sore and stiff and felt tight and warm to the touch for two days. Then, the pain subsided, the tightness went away and my knee feels better than it has in ages. I still have a little tenderness where I hit the floor but I'm thinking that the jolt bursted the Baker's cyst. I can now straighten my leg out, the tightness/pressure is gone and the puffiness and ache around my knee has subsided considerably. I can't believe how much better my knee feels, it's amazing. My question is...if I did indeed burst a cyst, will it come back? Anything I can do to prevent it from coming back?

I do not have health insurance. I saw on Discovery Health that you could use leeches and a sewing kit to put them back on. I have the bleeding under control. I have a sewing kit in the attic. Where is a good place to catch leeches. Should I look under rocks and in the basement?
