Just got back from a wonderful week in Egypt -:). Nice to get SUN and Warmth - no blue hands there even able to walk around in a dress in the evening without a cardigan -
Would have thought my ulcer would have healed, but no, still not infected due to 2 weeks of antibiotics ........
Oh, didn't take long for fingers to go blue again once back here lol ......
oo how lovely for you anteater to have a nice holiday without layers and gloves ! hopefully your ulcer will be on its way, with a bit of the UK sun to follow its Egyptian booster ! It is also nice to know that you can feel 'warm' again hey ? x
Yes I know what you mean I always felt so much more like a normal person when we went on Sunny holidays Then 12 years ago the consultant told us the only real option was to move to a warmer climate (than the North West of UK) so we moved to the Malaga region of Spain. I know a complete move is not really an option for lots of people but for those people who can only spend a short break away from the pain and discomfort we set up holiday homes here where people can come and enjoy the sunshine, have a dip in a warm hot tub and the properties are heated incase the temperature drops
That sounds lovely! Can you give us contact numbers and the name of your holiday homes?
The properties are in Alhaurin el Grande and are called La Bellota and El Corcho - You can call on a UK number that diverts to Spain without cost to you 01244 312788 or email me on rentals@elrobleholidays.com - when you email or call mention healthunlocked
Oh how fantastic for you! I wonder if you have a 'South African' shop anywhere near to you? They stock a product called Zambuk and it's fantastic for healing ulcers and sores on the body. I use it for all kinds of things. My skin is very thin and tears at the smallest bump and I use Zambuk. it's a product made in S.A. Where do you live? Perhaps I can post some to you. There is a shop near to me. It's not expensive at all. Let me know!
Oh Nettie....that's a blast from the past. Didnt know ZAMBUK was still in production...my late father (b.1905 d.1972) swore by it when I was a child (also many years ago!!!) Was it green? and had a strong smell? or is my foggy memory playing tricks....again. Bee346
Yes, that'e the stuff! Wonderful! My Mother always used it and I got my daughter in S.A. to send me about 6 tins of it, it's come in so handy for all kinds of things. Gave some to my kids for their children's grazed knees, bee stings, you name it, it works!
Hi nettie,
My brother in law lives in SA so will ask him to get me some will definitely give it a try - actually I think we have a SA shop near us in chessington and I know of one in southfields near Wimbledon so will go and have a look there first x
There is another product I want to tell you about. I got it on prescription and it is amazing as well. It's called SORBSAN STERILE CALCIUM ALGINATE CAVITY WOUND DRESSING - I had a mole removed from my foot and it wouldn't heal and this worked quicker than anything else. It's actuall Seaweed Fibre - sort of looks like Shredded Wheat a bit :). You've got to have Waterproof platers over it and keep it dry. It causes the flesh to actually produce itself again, so it's really a great product. See if your GP will prescribe it for you. Hope your ulcer heals well.
