Update on my Reishi mushroom extract experience: The minimum recommended daily dose (which I had been taking for several weeks) seemed to maintain the condition of my Dupuytren`s (and Garrod`s) rather than improve it. I have reverted to taking the maximum dose, and significant progress appears to have been resumed.
Wishing you a joyful Christmas, and a healthy and happy New Year.

Hi drewski,

welcome to our forum! You can find a lot of experience and support here and additional info on the web site. We have a special board for the foot disease which usually goes under the name of "Ledderhose disease". Maybe you will get the most responses if you post your questions there http://www.dupuytren-online.info/Forum_E...se/index-1.html. It might also be worth reading those posts.

Many people with Dupuytren's also suffer from Ledderhose but some people suffer from Ledderhose without any signs of Dupuytren's (well at least initially). You can find information on Ledderhose and its treatment on this web site: sin the above menu elect "Disease" and then "Ledderhose Disease". Surgery is an option but it might require long recovery and, worse, the disease might come back quickly.
