Guest guest Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Hi Everyone! First I want to Thank All of You for your prayers. We can sure use them. When Dad had his first Chemo treatment (March 30th), it resulted in Syndrome, which basically causes the following skin conditions: Blisters, Sloughing of the skin, Dry and Peeling skin, Red to Beet Red skin, and the worse a burning sensation in the skin. I will tell you all later, what I have done to counteract these conditions. Anyway, not only does this affect the outside of the body, but it affects the inside too, causing frequent urination from the inflammation of the skin, and even has affected Dad's swallowing. He can now only eat soft foods. It has weakened his limbs, so that even getting up is difficult. Forget about walking far, Dad has to use a wheel chair. It also causes sensitivities to meds, herbs, supplements, sunlight, ect. It's been pure torture for Dad. We see a new doctor today. A dermatologist that understands this condition. It is getting better, but this has happened twice before. We would think it's healing and the next day it would be right back out! I am not on the computer much these days. Taking care of Dad and doing his and my chores, takes about all of my time. I did put out ten tomato plants and some cabbage, but I just don't have the time to mess with taking care of a full garden. Physically, I am doing better. Making sure I get my rest, supplements and eating right. Mentally and emotionally, I am doing a lot better. Did have to go back on my Prozac, though. Hurrah for Prozac! LOL! That's about it for now. Sorry I haven't replied to any emails, I just am not on the computer much these days. Lots of Love and Blessings, Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
