    If not responding to treatment her bottom might be fungal and need some cannestan.
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Yep mine had what looked like nappy rash and it was thrush :(
    Can you get her to the Dr's?
    Bepanthen is good stuff and normally works a treat.

    Sunnyday - what's the code to get free delivery at Body shop? My mum uses that cream and I could get some for her for mothers day. sorry being a bit thick I couldn't tell what the actual code was from your post.

    Edited to add: damn just had a look at the website and it's now out of stock grrr

    Afternoon everyone.

    Happy birthday MANCMILLIYMOLLY:beer:

    Hugs to everyone else whether you need them ore not.

    Went to the hospital this morning to see what damage I had done:o The cast was removed and the doctor said my arm had swelled inside it. No wonder it was hurting!! It was re xrayed and the bone has moved slightly :( They put a new cast on that fit's and I have to go back on Friday to be xrayed again. Doc hopes once the swelling goes down the bone might realine, if not it will be surgery. :(

    Ouch! Sandy. Poor you - sound like you're going through the mill a bit. Hope swelling goes down so you can avoid surgery.

    Hiya peeps:j:j
    Had another sleepless night, am going to the docs next week for help as I can't go on like this:(

    Sorry to hear that candygirl.

    I suffer terribly with insomnia, so can sympathise with your lack of sleep.

    Hopefully the Dr will be able to help :)

    Poor GD too. At least there are a few suggestions which may help. Hopefully it wont be anything like thrush and will heal up with a natural remedy :)

    :beer: Happy birthday MancMillyMolly. Hope you're having a lovely day.

    Sandy, my mum had to have an op on her wrist, when she broke it, as the bone wouldn't re-align. She had to have wires put in, to knit the bone back together :( The op itself was ok, but she did find it difficult afterwards. Hopefully, once the swelling goes down, you may not need to have an op yourself.

    How are you in yourself?

    Hope you're ok :)

    Sunnyday :T Thanks for that I'll check it out.

    Candygirl My Mum told me to paint a lightly beaten egg white onto DD's bottie when it was sore and leave her without a nappy for an hour or so (laid on a towel ;)) and it worked briliantly :) I would highly recommend it.
