A question about : Breast Cancer Research

Breakthrough Generations (the UK Study of the Causes of Breast Cancer) are looking for 100,000 women (any female over the age of 18) to take part in a study of the causes of breast cancer. They require participants to complete a questionnaire and provide a blood sample. Every five years, a further questionnaire will be completed. From the information received, they hope to understand the causes of breast cancer better, and hopefully find a cure.

A question about : Know anyone under the age of 17 with diabetes?

Anyone under the age of 17 who is diabetic and uses accu-chek products to do blood tests can save calibration chips/test boxes to receive free videos/cds/dvds. It's also a great site for kids to use! You can get the full details from accu-chekteams.co.uk.

A question about : People with chronic illnesses

I am in the middle of another Lupus flare. I am in a lot of pain and find doing basic things, like taking a bath or going to the toilet, very difficult.

Not that many years ago I did a lot of hiking/walking and was an active member of a cycling team, I would love to be well enough to get back on a bike. At the moment I'm overweight due to steroids and have a hard time finding the motivation to get out of bed. I force myself because I refuse to give in, I have a family to look after and also need to work when possible.

A question about : NHS waiting times for children?

Does anybody know the guidlines for waiting times to see a consultant for children?

A question about : Shingles

This quite bizarre. Exactly one year ago I developed Shingles and again this year it has cropped up (in the same week). Maybe I'm allergic to February or something! Has anybody else had it twice?

A question about : Stye (On the Eyelid)

Does anyone know how to get rid of a Stye? I've got one this morning, and its really sore. I am going into hospital on Friday for an op, and its probably come up because I am nervous and not sleeping well (well thats what my mum would say!!)

Any advice?

Thanks Frizz

A question about : Sore arm

Hello folks,

I am presently doing various exercises under guidance for painful shoulder/arm. May be RSI may be my bad posture. Its minor and probably my own fault so I'm not complaining. However can anyone recommend a basic speech to text programme that I could use sometimes when I would normally use word.

Cheap as chips and can cope with my mumbles are the requirements

Thanks
