Yeah, one of the VA docs suggested that awhile back and was going to look into it. They don’t provide it at the VA but thought our local community hospital might. He never brought it up again. I may have to suggest it to my new doc.

[editor-surveyor]

Speaking of silver, have you ever tried Silverlon bandages?

They are good for attacking infections, and are reuseable after washing.

[Jim Robinson]

I’ll look into it. Thanks

[Lazamataz]

Red, I’ve been doing so well with this, I am now under the A1C required for meds. I am never going to be CURED of type II, but I *am* putting it in remission. Thanks for your concerned thoughts....

[trisham]

I’ve bee sleeping for the better part of the past 48 hours or something like that...lol, trying to beat this horrid bronchitis. I pray I have.

***********************

I will pray for you, onyx. Bronchitis is not a fun illness. Hang in there, sweetheart.

[onyx]

I’ll go back to my doctor for my dang bronchitis, and I’ll copy your words, to see if he can tell me anything at all that can possibly be of help.

Pop all the pain pills you can possibly endure without damaging your very fine liver. Eating red beets and garlic helps keep the liver running nicely. Not sure about the natural sugar in the red beets for your diabetes. I try to eat a 1/2 can of red beets and 5 cloves of roasted garlic every day.

Prayers and more prayers for you, dearest Jim, while all of us search for another cure. There has to be one out there.

Lord, hear our prayers.

[Lazamataz]

Prayers for ya my brother. I hope things get better, and I am praying for that!

We'll get Olive Garden to deliver. I hear their breadsticks are AWESOME! :)

[onyx]

Thank you so much, dearest, sweet Trish.
I’m doing much better now that I have strong CIPRO.

[GOPJ]

Jim is in our prayers... Thanks for the update onyx.

[onyx]

Thank you so much for your prayers.
God bless.

[Jim Robinson]

Thank you very much. And I just happen to love red beets.

I think the wounds and skin problems are one thing, but the solution has to be to get blood flowing again and I think they usually do that via surgery. But the doc says I’m not a good candidate for surgery. They were even afraid my stump wouldn’t heal but it did. It was an above the knee amputation, so guess it was above the bad vein problem. They did put in stints a few years ago, but they didn’t help. I’ve also been taking some pills that are supposed to help the circulation, but haven’t seen any improvement. Also, the nitro treatments may have helped, but I developed a skin reaction to that after a year or so of daily treatments so they told me to stop. I’ll ask about that again.

Will be praying for you too, dearest onyx.

[onyx]

Great! I love red beets, too and also roasted garlic, although I can and do eat garlic once it's out of its hard outer clove.

OKay, thanks very much for elaborating more ... we are looking something to effect "more circulation!"

God bless you, Jim. Thank you so much for your prayers. I'll be A-OK. CIPRO will cure my present ailment. I wish your cure was so easy.

We must find one, in addition to prayer.
XOXOXO

[I_be_tc]

I will say an extra one for both of you tonite.

TC

[Duchess47]

Praying for you both, for healing.

[RedMDer]

That’s great about the A1C. Mine doesn’t match my blood sugar readings and it should reflect that. It is puzzling and doesn’t make sense.
My lowest sugar count is around 105 with meds and I’m doing well. I’ve always had high sugar and wasn’t diagnosed until the bar was lowered to 142 years ago.

[Jim Robinson]

Oops, accidentally used the wrong word Not emaciated it’s macerated. “Maceration is defined as the softening and breaking down of skin resulting from prolonged exposure to moisture.”

[Jane Long]

Thanks , dearest onyx, for the ping.

Prayers up for comfort and healing for our dear JimRob.
In Jesus' name.
Amen

[RedMDer]

Onyx and Jim,

Lyrica works well for me although it is expensive, about $200 a month with my insurance. It is a synthetic drug. Not based on Codine, Morphine, etc. (I think)
It works for both arthritis and diabetic nerve pain. Better then any other so far for me.
You both have my prayers for a healthy recovery.

[Jim Robinson]

Thank you very much, Marcella!!
