Many of you spend a great deal of time online researching information, gathering support from your online friends, and attending chats. The Internet is a life support system for so many caregivers.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time I am amazed at the results that so many of you have expressed to me that you haven&#8217;t even left AOL to go out and venture all that is offered. The expanse of caregiving information as well as diseases and illnesses etc&#8230;.multiplies online on a daily basis and I strongly urge you to take a risk to venture out and explore some more, rather than being confined on AOL or any other service provider..<\/p>\n<p>Many of you research BetterHealth on AOL but did you know that BetterHealth, now known as AllHealth has a wonderful site on the web at IVILLAGE.COM? The address is http:\/\/www.allhealth.com. Please check it out some time.<\/p>\n<p>Many people have asked me why I supply so many links at the EMPOWERING CAREGIVERS SITE. My answer is that caregivers need to get information, facts and much more quickly. They don&#8217;t have the time to surf the net&#8230;If I can provide them with powerful links to get their needs met, I will do it. I am not afraid of losing the traffic. I want to provide as much as I can to you all in your time of need.<\/p>\n<p>More and more sites online are caregiver related with much support, through databases, resources, articles and so much more.<\/p>\n<p>Please take a risk and venture out to see all that is available to you. You may be quite surprised. If you feel that you don&#8217;t have enough knowledge to explore, there are tutorials on AOL that can assist you. Most of the Internet is quite user friendly after you learn a few basic skills. Good explorations to you. ~<\/p>\n<p>Gail R.
