    'triamcinolone acetone' in previous post should be 'triamcinolone acetone.

    		 Triamcinolone

    The study makes pretty modest claims. Nodules by themselves are not a problem, so very few people would seek treatment before a band (contracture) has formed.

    It's sort of like zinc for colds - it's not supposed to do anything unless you take it before you're even sure you have a cold...

    Dr. Ketchum is giving my shots. If you inject them early, you can delay the spread and in a few cases the nodules never came back. One patient has been clear for 27 years past injection.
    I feel its worth a shot,, literally ha ha

    		 Cords


    Kurt,

    Do you have any cords, and if so, did you get injections for them?

    No, no cords yet. I was only diagnosed in october. I have one nodule under middle finger and a tiny one under the ring finger, which I can't actually feel after the first shot. The first shot acts as a "priming dose" says Dr. Ketchum.
    If you read the full article, it includes pictures before and after. It also mentions it is only usefull if no contracture has started. So if your cords are contracting I don't think your a candidate. I am willing to fax or mail the full article since you would have to pay 30$ on line for it. Just leave a contact email. Kurt

    Kurt,

    I'd like to take you up on your kind offer to send me the article. Please send it to: mm_lusk@yahoo.com.

    I have cords but no contracture yet - and I'd like to know if there's some way to stave it off before it starts.

    Thanks, MML
