itching and a note about reversals   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1875 of 4278 |
don't scratch! It sounds like a bit of the yeasties to me, because of
the warm moist environment we all tend to get them. If you aren't
allergic to the appliance then I think this may be the culprit. Air is
good, but not always practical (ie usually messy). There are ointments
but many of them make it hard for your appliance to stick, and requires
a good technique to layer cream and skin prep and spray adhesive. God
luck with this!

reversals - if you still have your colon, or most of it, you should do
fine. Onceit has healed there should be no problem reconnecting it. I
am not sure why you had the ileo, but if your colon is healthy now
there is no reason not to get back to normal. Good Luck with this, I
wish I could be you!

Warmest blessings
