Guest guest Posted March 3, 2002 Report Share Posted March 3, 2002 Hi: Good luck with your appt with Dr. Blecher next week. Please let us know how it goes. I'm not familiar with the price of his bands, I'm sure one of our other UK members will give you more details on that. Many of our members worry about their child's eczema while wearing a band/helmet. But really, most of the time, the band does not affect the child's eczema at all.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2002 Report Share Posted March 3, 2002 I'm so glad that you were able to get an appointment with Dr. Blecher so soon. I hope you will let us know how it goes. I'm not sure about costs. They range greatly here in the US from $700 to over $3,000. (not sure how that translates in pounds) Best wishes!
