Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hi Joan, I'm glad to hear that Neal is getting better, again. Do you think his dermatologist would be willing to discuss his protocol with another physician? I haven't been to a doctor in a long time, but probably should give it a try. It feels like my nerve endings are frayed. I can't drive to Houston very easily, however, maybe some of the other people on this site could drive their RVs to Houston, and get treated by your understanding and knowledgeable derm. Aloha myrtle > > Thanks for encouragement M. Neal is getting better and we went to his derm tues and got refills for stromectol, but don't think he will need much longer. The doctor did explain to us that it was important for Neal to take the medication that heals damaged nerve endings (in his case " Gabapentin 300mg) because he said if left untreated nerve endings can actually build up a kind of callous that has to be surgically removed in some cases. That is the first time he ever told us that so Neal is taking 1 every night now. Doctor explained that when your nerve endings get irritated you feel everything as if it was something alien to you - even the normal skin bugs everyone has and are supposed to have. I guess it makes sense in a weird sort of way. > I think you are smart to get into something small and portable like a small RV. We used to have one for traveling and it was not bad at all. Should be much easier to de-contaminate also. > I do hope this new year will bring forth a wealth of information that will help all our group to get their lives back totally, > Bye for now. Joan > > > P.S. If anyone in the Houston, Tx area wants to check out our dermatologist just let me know and I will give you his info. I cleared it with him, but he will NOT treat you by phone, so be prepared to see him every 2-3 weeks for the first part, and he is not real expensive either. > He will not treat you as delusional and has treated other people besides Neal for mites. > > Joan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
