I live in Texas and one of the issues that you hear the most about is elder care. It is very difficult to find doctors that treat Alzheimer's, Dementia and Arthritis. You have to make appointments months ahead if the doctors will even accept you. My mom has Dementia and it has be very hard to find doctors for her.

I live in East Texas, and I was a nurse before meth addiction took over my life. In the meth world people get sores all the time. Some are misses "injecting meth and missing the vein" I never injected but did get these "boils" on my skin.

I was still working in the hosp while using. And saw people all the time with "spider bites" but as an addict i knew what it was. I have always wanted to know why meth causes these sores.

I am clean now but I use to have a serious meth addiction, I got these sores and so did everyone around me in the drug world.

let me know if you chose this and what you learn
