Well huh..



The dermatologist was surprised by how much the ulcer has healed over the last month. It all looks the same to me but there seems to have been some real progress. The increase in the Prednisone might be the reason. Its slow going. The only thing I'm doing different lately is soaking my leg in the tub for about 30min a few times a week. I have spent so much time avoiding water and contact in general on the ulcer It's kinda' odd having it submerged in water. It feels good, no pain. I just drizzle on some Hibiclens and read while my leg soaks. The goal is to just help clean up the ulcer in general. I am always making the effort to keep things clean and dry.

My apt bathroom is too small for a Jacuzzi bath but it would be great in a situation like this.

Adjustments

I have been taking a higher amount of Pednisone the last few weeks. After a few days of 30mg/day its obvious that this dosage is insufficient. The front of my leg is unchanged. The back however has various developments, arrested only by a dose of prednisone.

In the shower I make an effort to keep my leg clean with hibiclens. Great stuff but it stains! Things look really bad after I shower which seems odd but, it is what it is.
