Guest guest Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi a: When I use water and a little bleach, I also add soap. Then I soak in as hot water as I can tolerate. Yes, alcohol sure does burn. I hope they find the cause of your infection, and treat it accordingly. Are you still taking anti-biotics? I know some infections are hard to clear up, especially on the feet. I hope you can rest often, and stay off your feet. That is what I am doing today. I am very tired, and my feet and ankles are hurting. Take care, and I hope your infection is gone soon. Hugs, Barbara > > Hi Barbara......thank you.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Sounds like the sausage digit that brought me to a podiatrist who asked " so, how long have you had psoriasis? " I told him I didn't have psoriasis and he answered " you must, because you have psoriatic arthritis! " That took me to a rheumatologist who confirmed the diagnosis and has been treating me for over a dozen years. We're not doctors here, and I can't say what it is, but it sure sounds like sausage digit to me - RA North Jersey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 hi, I was wondering if you ever had the skin disorder? I was told by the first rheumy I had PsA and now the second one said I don't cause I don't have psoriasis. I have dry flaky patches on my head and by my mouth. I don't have the skin bad at all just the pain. thanks for any help. Sue Kaminsky <skaykam48@...> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
