Hello everyone. As some of you may know, I've had a Dupuytren's web page posted here: http://www.wstagner.com/
since April of 2001. I don't visit this forum very often and I rely on those who do to keep me updated.
If my web page info is not current, it is of little value, especially if there are now more Paris-trained NA practitioners here in the USA. I'd especially like to be contacted by any new practicing doctors so that I can give them a link from my page.

However, if that's unnessary because everyone follows this forum, I'll probably disable my pages at the end of March or April 2005.

Hi Walt:

You can keep your web site updated and add names of hand
surgeons now doing NA.

I keep my page up just because I feel the more Web Sites the better the chance we can help someone with DC.

Links to Dr Eaton.s and others might help someone avoid painful surgery, splints and physical therapy.

Hi Walt,

I agree with Randy. You are an independent website and if this one ever got closed, DC sufferers would be in the dark with respect to personal testimonies....etc.

Plus...you are a forefather to the NA momement and it's nice to know you are still around, even if you are not active on this site anymore.

Walt, thank you, thank you and thank you. Your site introduced me to NA after my internist diagnosed DD/DC and
provided a referral to a plastic surgeon. On my own I
consulted a Hand Surgeon at Mass. General Hosp. who suggested Biospecifics Coallegenase treatment. My internet
searchs led me to your site and later Biospecifics. The
Badois site was most instrumental in leading me to (IMO)
appropriate treatment (NA.) The options have expanded and
more treatment is available even as "collagenase" seems
less specific to DD/DC.
I would not have found the "list" and treatment by the
Lariboisiere Group (specifically, Dr. Badois) were it not
for you site and contribution(s.) Again, thank you.
Bottom line: the Badois site is permanently "down." The
Biospecific site is "short-lived" because it is a collagenase site. Where else might one turn if your site
disappears? If finances are involved, then fold. If there is a nominal cost of maintenance involved, then persist.
Solicit some donations and judge for yourself whether the
site deserves maintainence. I can assure you that no comparable porthole exists for NA information.
Finally; I second Randy's kudos. You have been a Godsend
to people who lacked informaation about options when faced
with a serious and little understood malady.
My hat is off to you whatever you decide to do. Thanks.
