DIZZI - pleased to read you are back home and nice to see you posting again, I hope that your leg continues to improve, you take care <3 <3 <3

Thanks for posting. Must have been hard. :-D :-D <3 Did you see post from Rollo about a cellulitis drug. Sounded good - started with Fu (honestly) :-) ;-)

Welcome back, Dizzi.

You have been sorely (no pun intended) missed

Confound the experts and make a complete recovery :-D

Sincere Regards,

Allan

It was "great dollops of Fucibert cream" that Rollo suggested. Not little tubes - but dollops.

:-D

Welcome back Dizzi <3

Welcome back Dizzi, you sure are a great fighter. You can do it yet again. take it easy and enjoy being home and let the medication work. good to see you back <3

Welcome back DIZZI, once again you seem to have been through the wringer, I hope you will soon be feeling better.

With regards to Fucibert cream, following my husbands death my eczema went haywire. I saw the consultant at the hospital who prescribed a short course of this cream. It is my understanding that this can only be on prescription and long term use is not recommended.

What is it used for?

Eczema or dermatitis that is also infected with bacteria sensitive to fusidic acid.

Fucibet cream should be applied thinly to the affected areas of skin once or twice a day, as directed and instructed as this may cause the thinning of the skin and cause it to become over-sensitive or allergic to the medicine.


Take care DIZZI <3

Lovely to see you posting Dizzi ,seeing you special hugs <3 <3

Welcome home Dizzi, but please be a good girl and take great care of yourself. Don't get impatient and try to rest as much as possible. If you fancy a bacon sandwich, get OH to make it. Spring is here and we all want you well again and able to get outside and enjoy the sunshine, which you love and always does you good. Then, when you're better, you'll be able to get down to Hastings and I can come over to see you (if you'd like me to!) :-D

John - I'm sure the medics will decide whether Dizzi is prescribed Fucibet cream. I am using that at the moment, but for a comparably minor skin problem. Dizzi's is far more serious.

welcome back Dizzi - so lovely to see you posting again - we have all been thinking of you and wishing you well - let's hope they take extra special care of you cos you're worth it <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

so glad you have been released from hospital

it is a great feeling to be home

take care

Nice to see you're home...nothing like your own bed.sure in home surroundings you will get better quicker.

HI,
I WAS IN A SEVEN BAY WARD AND THE YOUNGEST AND ONLY ONE THAT COULD TALK,IT WAS AWFUL ONE SCREAMED ALL NIGHT,ANOTHER OF NINETY YEARS OLD STRIPPED OFF EVERY TIME SHE COULD SHE WOULD GRAB YOU AND SCRATCH OR PINCHED AND BOY COULD SHE KICK.
BUT IMAGINE ON NIGHT SHIFT ONE NURSE TO
EACH BAY ALL READY FOR BED AT 8;PM,CHANGE SHIFT AND THEY WAKE UP,,
HOW THE FEW ON THIS WARD MANAGED I DONT KNOW BUT HONEST MORE NIGHTS IN THERE I WOULD BE AS BAD AS THEM NO ONE TO SPEAKE TO
ALL DAY OR NIGHT I WAS LOOSEING THE ART OF TALKING WITH NOBODY ABLE TO SPEAK

It is quite flattering that posters feel free to criticise my mention of Fucibert cream.

I was simply passing on some advice from another poster, which nobody had commented on. Poor chap was totally ignored. Perhaps purposely, I don't know.

Possibly it was bad advice. But I am sure he has some knowledge personally of huge dollops of Fucibert applied. He claimed it had worked really well and was trying to be helpful.

And probably a lot of treatments are wrongly administered or not even administered at all for NHS budgeting reasons. So I think we need to have open minds on treatments. Anyway, leeches are.........

so glad you back Dizzi
and hope your on the mend real soon :-D :-D

Well it's just good that you are home, now just do as they say & your be ok sooner rather then later. Talk soon. All the best to you.

Welcome back Dizzi. You have been missed and it's happy news to hear you are back home after another painful hospital admission. Take it easy and be a good girl.
Massive HUGE hugs. xxx

Don't flatter yourself John this was not a criticism of you or anyone else. I was just pointing our the facts that were given to me and the information on the leaflet accompanying the cream I was prescribed. As Wend rightly said DIZZi will be better advised by her medical team.

Glad to see you back Dizzi after such a rough ride.

Be good and do everything they say - don't want another stay in hospital.
