After a few months of really no progress and for no reason, my ulcer has begun to shrink and 'dry out'. After changing my gauze, I could see some 'fluid loss' from the ulcer. It was slight but noticeable. Recently I have not seen any 'residue' on my gauze upon removal. Its stone dry. The only thing that I have done different recently is get some sun. I live a few blocks from Central Park (NYC) and I actually got a little 'sun burned', very rare for me. So, other than time under the sun and the drinking of Gatorade, my routine hasn't changed.
I am still taking 40mg of Prednisone every other day. And applying Neosporin and Ultravate to the ulcer.
