Re: [QUAD-L] Bed Sores

[Lori Michaelson]

Hi Steph,   Ya.... I see that advertised with the blue cartoon guy hero.  http://www.elidel.com/index.jsp  It's for treating mild to moderate exczema.   I've had exzema since childhood (had it BAD ages 3-7) but grew out of it for the most part.  When my spot looks a certain way my husband puts on my "prescription" cortisone cream for exzema.   A wife of a quad on the SCIC list swears by PROSHIELD on the skin.  I have not heard of IT or tried IT yet.  She said:   " I have to say that I swear by this ointment. My husband has been a quad for almost 2 yrs now, and I have to say that in that time he has sat up in his chair for may hours at a time and when in bed he HATES to be turned off of his back, and he has NEVER had a pressure sore on his back and very few, small sores on his Butt. This is the best ointment that I have ever used on him."   Thanks anyway!  :-)   Lori   -------Original Message-------   From: S.
