Author  Topic    BabyGrlTina USA 1 Posts Posted - 08/29/2011 :  10:16:49     Hello to All! My names Tina and I just found this site. I am currently on my 3rd day of tx with Efudex. I've searched the web high & low for pics of hands, legs & arms but have found none (however thanks to all who have posted pics of their faces!) If there's anyone out there with pics of limbs during tx, please email me! I am very curious to see what may happen. I'm currently nervous as hell & itching from head to toe from my last application. (Face/neck/arms/hands/legs & top of feet) After seeing these pics of peoples faces & reading the pain that eventually set in, I cant help but worry even more considering I am doing the "head-to-toe" treatment all at once. SCARY STUFF!!! Anyway, I'm going to make this first post short & come back to check frequently to see if anyone has replied before going into great detail. My heart & thoughts are with you all on your journey!!! And I look forward to all responses. Thanks so much! ~Tina~ p.s. My first evening of using Efudex was a little itchy but managable... Last night though was NOT good at all. I'm a bit irratated due to serious itching ALL night (which turned into mild discomfort)... I can't help but wonder if I'm reacting to this medicine a little earlier than most due to my having Lupus?!? Any advice is MUCH appreciated!

(treating so many large areas at once).... my experience is more with bloodroot paste moreso than efudex but I believe the pain will be similar if not the exact results. At any rate, found some efudex treatment protocols with photos for you; http://www.sannerud.com/people/efudex/ http://www.hybriddesign.net/efudex/efudex-photos-pictures-3.shtml Keep us updated and I wish you all the best & a speedy healing!    Topic
