I wish everyone would quit arguing and insulting and try and listen to others. the 6th grade is over, grow up and be civil.

THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE I DO AGREE EVERYONE OR ATLEAST MANY PEOPLE WITH SURGERYS GONE BADLY LIKE MYSELF JUST GET FRUSTRATED AND TEND TO BLAT OUT THINGS NOT APPROPRIATLY. I SEEM TO BE THE WORST OFFENDER OF LATE I KNOW I NEED TO STOP. I DO FEEL FOR EVERYONE. THIS DISASE IS JUST SO HIDEIOS AND CAN CHANGE THINGS QUICKLY BEFORE ATLEAST I REALLY SAW IT COMEING. I PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO SUE ANYONE I JUST WISH DOCTORS WHO CAN'T HELP WOULD JUST NOT TRY. I'D EVEN BE HAPPY IF SOMEONE SAID OOPS! IT GOT OVER THEYRE HEAD.
AGAIN THANKS AND YOU'R RIGHT I AM GETTING A BIT TO ANXIOUS SOMETIMES JUST LISTENING TO A CALM PERSON IS HELPFUL.

Hi Again,

Yes I'm feeling better not much better with this keyboard, hard to believe five years ago I too a course in keyboarding. I have my right hand in a cast at the moment. Ihad skin grafting done a week ago friday. I am 50 sounds kind of old but I'm not feeling like I should feel as useless as I have been in the last one and half years.

I have been treated for arthritiis for atleast ten years having a mild contacture in right ring finger. I don't have arthritis but dupuytrens bi-lateral and my right foot opened the flood gates. I had a small noduele removed in my arch, it will be three years this Nov.

To cut through the chase my system went wild and my fingers pinky and ring went south almost right away my foot didn't heal now ave 7 noduels quite painful. 3 hand surgeries later I'm on dissability feeling like I wish I never had health insurance.

To cut through my being long winded my two brothers have it one is dead at 43, two years ago this June I nver knew he ad it I thought he kept injuring himself while drinking working on cars. The other brother is left handed and isn't talkig or dealing with it he is one year older than myself. Also found out my father had it with sucessful surgery 30 years ago. We wern't close at all, I wish I had looked into the internet before jumping into surgerys. My deceased brother lost two of his fingers to this disease. I'm so far that I know the only female in the family to have it I am the oldest sister I hope no-one else gets this.

Please tell me of you'r situation I know you must have stories I havn't heard and I would be honored if you don't mind sharing with me. I don't want to be intrusive I am concerned and you seem to be a genuine nice person, in spite of my not so nice lift off onto this site.

Sincerly,
Linda

Hi again so sorry you can't post under you'r prefered name. I guess I understand but it is sad a troll as you put it and I have noticed others complain of the same. That seems weird no wonder NO Name was upset. I'm still not sure they are not one and the same I just can't understnd stealing names when people all have similiar problems.
I did hear of the trials for Colliganaze (sp) sorry but it looks to be for mine and others children. I just don't think our country has dupuytrens as a priority not yet or maybe not for a long while.
I would like to ask what you or anyone might know about skin grafts. I was so scarred I just trusted another doctor to do that as I lost all the skin due to severe scarring. the last doctor very nice and all said he could help. I was left with no use of my hand. My new dotor from Boston seems genine and I will be happy with just a release in my palm. The feeling was like a hand full of cazy glue and razor blades. I know that sounds awful but that is what I think it would feel like.
Hope someone or you might have an idea I am beyond the NA thing, atleast for my right hand maybe the left as it is not touched.
Again thanks Tinkerbell (that is a cute name)
Linda
