My Medication

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Hi everyone , i wanted to let everyone know what meds i’m on as it may differ from what other sufferers are on.

  • Prednisolone (2.5 mg tablets) x 3 per day
  • Lazaprazole (15 mg tablet) x 1 per day
  • Calcichew (2 tablets per day)

I have been on higher doses of prednisolone but as my breathing has levelled out over the months/years they have slowly reduced the doseges, i guess to get to a minimum. They do not like to have you on steroids for long periods of time. Which is why they wanted to put me on azathioprine
, which had implacations for child production.

Raynauds Dry Cracked Hands possible solution?

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

Hi there everyone again.

I suffer from severe cracked dry hands with my raynauds, I have found that over the festive gap I used a cream my doctor gave me (i will post the name later) to first cream my hands then put the cream in the fingers of rubber latex gloves and wear them for a good couple of hours in the evening. This allows me to get on with stuff and the cream doesnt come off my hands. I did this every night for about a week and it appears to work very well. I did them run out of gloves and it quickly went back to cracked again. I now have bought some more and I will continue this, and post my further results here.

Keep well all…
