PG Assistance/Information Needed....

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

I wrote a month or so ago about my sister with PG. Someone suggested cortisone

injections into the wound. I passed the word along, my sister gave it a try,

and she

actually healed enough to get out of wound care, so a belated thank you for that

treatment info.

The problem is, she was out of wound care for only TWO weeks when it started to

open

again, and on top of that it cultured out psuedomonus (sp?). She tried the

injections

again, but they didn't help, and she is still taking the immune suppressant.

She has to

come of the immune suppressant in two weeks because she's had breast cancer and

her

oncologist is not willing to allow her to stay on it long term. This is the

same reason that

she can't be on prednisone for any length of time either.

Does anyone know of any other treatments to try? Has anyone tried alternative

treatments? Acupuncture, herbs, anything along that line? Poor thing, she is

SO

frustrated and fed up, she's been in wound care almost two years, three days a

week other

than a two week reprieve here and there. Has anyone found a way to get this

stuff cured

for awhile?

I know I sound kind of desperate, but my sister feels kind of that way.

Thank you in advance for any ideas.

Beah
