Guest guest Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 Hi Jody. Sounds like you are on the road to recovery. I am not in a wheelchair but I walk with two canes and have a brace on my right leg. I started LDN June 6th. Sometimes I catch my right leg bending at the knee when I am walking, just like a real leg. I usually walk very rigid and don't bend my knee. Could be the LDN, or diet or physical therapy or a combination of all of it. I don't care what it is, I am not stoping any of it. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Great Becky!! Wondered how you been doing. So what type of salve are you using? Was this 1st or 2nd degree burns? If it has been 2 weeks you can leave uncovered... I would still use a healing salve on it... I'll wait to hear what you're using. A comfrey based salve would be good. Suzi doodle bug <doodlebugboodles@...> wrote: Hey all, I'm still alive. Hey Suzanne I finally moved out! I'm back in college at 30 finishing my el ed degree. (I'm nuts!) So to the question. Two Wednesdays ago burnt his arm pretty bad on pot. (Can you believe he is 8 now?) I have kept it covered w/ salve and it's healing very well considering. The old skin is drying and flaking off now and he is breaking out from the bandages.. When do I stop covering it? And do I keep doing a first aid salve or do I need to switch to something else?

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 It's an a recipe I got from another group. It has olive oil infused with arnica, comphery, calandula, and marshmellow root combine with tea tree and peppermint oils. I need to make another batch here soon. It was a second degree burn, possibly the deeper variety, but he did have pain, so I don't know, lol. Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
