Just to add to my woes i now have phlebitis,but at the moment it is not too bad so the dr says. At night it is itchy,hot and inflamed and very very sore. She has given me naproxan to take when i need it. Hope everybody is as well as you all can be. Hugs for all.xxxx

PS,another photo of me in my pink dress.xxxx

Sylvie, you're certainly in the wars at the moment. I had phlebitis about 5 years ago and it was really painful, but it eased slowly with plenty of leg elevation and an electric warming pad.

Hope you get some relief soon

Love Babs x

My dad has had phlebitis for yrs. He has to keep putting cream on it so the skin doesn't dry out. You have to be careful that it doesn't ulcerate, as that can be for painful. I have an area of skin that is a funny Chriscolour and the GP makes sure that its not hot and that i dont scratch it.

Hope you soon get over it sending hugs. It would help you to have a bit of good luck. XXX

I love your pics. You are assailed by symptoms on all sides, but still manage to be so full of life and fun. Hope your phlebitis settles soon. Xx
