Re: RT in Colorado?
Hi susie. I would be interested to see if iodide, DMSO and vit.E are effective for your DD as I have read about this natural treatment . How are you going to apply it?

Wouldn't put much hope in these treatments. The y might help for other diseases but not likely for Dupuytren's. You might have a look at also at http://www.dupuytren-online.info/dupuytren_anecdotal.html

susie: Hi Tracy, Thank you so much for your kind message. I really needed it today. My appointment with Dr K is on Friday 08/29. I'll update you after my visit with him. I am a massage therapist and esthetician and have been in this profession for many years with a busy practice. Lots of heavy hand use, but who knows if that is a factor. If this progresses, as it seems to be doing at a rapid rate, it will impact my life, but it will also shorten my career. I know there are so many things to be grateful for in this life, but this diagnosis has me working hard to keep a good attitude, lately. I will be thinking of you and always appreciate your thoughtful messages. Glad we share this great and beautiful Colorado, too! Susie
Good luck with your treatment, whatever path you choose. Hopefully, RT can arrest your DP without surgery.
The scientific research on hand use effects on DP development is mixed and even contradictory. The prior thinking tied DP to hand use and traumas, but more recent studies find the link of hand use so weak as to be inconclusive.
What is known is that untreated DP can certainly interfere with hand use, which I can imagine is potentially career ending for you. It has certainly limited my father's use of one hand which was treated unsuccessfully with multiple surgeries.
Again, good luck.
Kevin
