When I had a large skin graft a few years ago the nurse used silver to cleanse around it

Sounds like that might have been Colloidal Silver, ruthio?
They put it into some bandages and plasters now I believe.
See below:



"Colloidal silver is not only a powerful bacteria-fighting agent. Several studies have revealed that colloidal silver is also a great antiseptic that works to heal cuts, abrasions, and wounds. It helps the skin develop its healthiest form without destroying tissue cells."

Yeah Mupsy, that's the one!
Fascinating.
This was at Salisbury, they're clever clogs there, it's where all the brilliant skin work was done on burns victims during the war.

Another trip to the hospital tomorrow .



Muddy, maybe you could be a bit more insistant do you think? Or ask to see somebody else and get a second opinion, if it isnt even beginning to show signs of improvements when you go tomorrow.

I think the idea someone suggested (was it ruthio?) about swabbing the infection to make certain you're having the right antibiotic makes sense.

What does hubby say about it?

Apologies, I haven't read through the prev 6 pages of replies.

CoCodamol IS very addictive. FIL was on them and it then just became a way of life. He was never without them, couldn't exist without them, made all manner of excuses why he needed them. Nothing to do with pain.

Just don't go there imho.

Use natural pain relief cures.

Re: Co codamol

Gosh Muddy, your hand sounds really painful.

Can't add anything to the thread re your question about co-codamol, as I've never taken it. Just wanted to commiserate about your hand and hope it clears up asap.

Re: Co codamol

U J, you are so true, co-codomol is a killer, it has caused me so much pain and illness to boot, I won't go in to details but believe me folks don't go near it.

So why have l been taking Kapake, as and when l need them, for over ten years and have never felt any addiction or been constipated?
I sleep really well, naturally, never dependant on anything to help me.
I suppose, it’s because we are all different?

Oh please do go into details as I am most interested how 8 Co-Codomal per day 8mg/500mg are a killer and strongly addictive. A person cannot take more as they would exceed the Paracetamol daily limit of 4000mg which could cause irreparable damage to the liver. Further that small level of Codeine 8x8mg which is 64mg is very small and in no way compares to current prescribed psychotic drugs for depression, joint and nerve pain including benzodiazepines which cause physical changes to the brain and cause a far more serious dependency.
