First of all, Roy sent me a couple of messages that I didn't respond to. Sorry about that, Bud. Haven't been feeling up to snuff lately. Went to the dermatologist Tuesday to get results of the second biopsy. He confirmed that it is LP. He took me off the Prednisone, gave me a shot of Kenelog & a prescription for Flagyl. Has anybody tried that? Also, he told me about a toothpaste called Squigle, which is supposed to help mouth ulcers. I ordered some. You can find out about it & get some at www.squigle.com. My wife got me some Herbalife Aloe Concentrate. You take 3 capfuls with water & its supposed to heal from the inside. She also got some Aloe Gel to put on the skin. I'm trying to find out if the concentrate will have a bad reaction to the Flagyl (or the other stuff I take). You're not supposed to use it with steroid creams. Anyway, here I am back on the roller coaster. Time to feed the dogs. Enjoy life! |
"When I first came to MDJ, I was in need of peer support in dealing with issues of my childhood abuse. I was moving away from the painful issues and trying to find an uplifting group of people to help me transition to a thriver in my life. I found that here. I also found a group of peers with Fibromyalgia and found the same uplifting experience there. My computer crashed and it was a while before I found my way back, this time with issues related to Parkinson's Disease. I had tried a few other support sites before reminding myself of MDJ. On those, I never got a reply. I finally found my way back here and again found very supportive, caring and inspiring people who made me feel like I was 'back home'. Indeed I am." (ThereseML)
