Iris,,

Thanks for telling us about the sugar for ulcers which is in the Daily Mail.

Just read the article and it's very interesting.

Dizzi,

Hope they let you try the sugar as by reading the article it works, I am going to show the article to my nurse and ask her if I can try it on my small ulcer.

THEY USE SILVER DRESSINGS BUT I HAVE FOUND IT UNBEARABLE
TO TOLERATE THE PAIN,THEY TRIED HONEY BUT IT WAS TOO WET,AS ITS ONLY CHANGED EVERY 3 TO 4 DAYS IT GETS VERY WET AND BOY DOSE IT SMELL ,
IT GETS VERY EMBARRASING

Also Marshmallow and Slippery Elm Balm from the health shops (it's like vaseline ) is marvellous for drawing out the bad stuff from ulcers / infections. :-)

dizzy, have they tried sugar or honey on your ulcers, there is a bit in the daily mail today about it . iris

glad things were not as bad as you feared <3 <3

Glad that you weren't admitted to hospital.
You will heal better at home...and in your own bed...than in hospital.
Do you have your legs raised a bit in bed to help with circulation?
Thinking of you.

Hello dizzy,

Hoping you feel a bit more happier after seeing the specialist and him suggesting a different treatment.
Take care,
