- Has anyone found any good hair products that are unscented? I have fly - away hair and am looking for a spray that is unscented. I checked and found a couple online but have never saw them in Canada.Carolyne

- My Dr gave me some samples of Daxas to try. She said they are expensive so wanted to test their value on me before perscribing them. Does anyone have any comments regarding them. Thanks in advance.
- I just found out that I can claim a disability amount on my income tax. I hope that other Canadians check out this deduction. I applied but have not heard if I qualify. I hope others will try and let me know if they qualify. We have earned it.
- I know that a lot of you re in a Pulmonary rehab program. I have just completed a program similar to it and made a discovery that was very exciting for me. I have been trying to use the bike but would poop out after only 2 - 3 minutes. Normally...
- What types of treatments do the pulmonary or respiratory therapies consist of? Are there things I can be doing on my own?
