Hi,
Another person sent me the following additional information about his
experiences with clobetasol propionate and a suggestion of where to buy it.
"I am a DH with much of the usual symptoms over the years prior to Dx by
biopsy. The easiest symptom alleviation may well be from oil of tea tree
10 drops in 1 Oz of olive oil. Applied every 12 hours brings much relief
for me. The IgA needs 18 - 24 months to leave the system. The state of the
art Rx for this IgA reaction is OLUX foam, 0.05% (clobetasol propionate).
The locally available (USA) version of this med is US$95 per 100 GM of
foaming wonder. As a DH patient 4 months' post Dx, I have small need of
the foam, but the relief from my own immune system's IgA is priceless.
Evidently I have some 18 - 20 months more of Gluten free living to go
before I stop going slowly insane from my reaction.
Because I work in the high tech (and high turmoil) sector, I have been
without employment, health insurance and income of some months. I found an
alternative to deciding whether to feed my family or stop itching on the web
at www.skinmed.com and I thought I might pass it on through this
organization. The postage paid rate for the same 100 GM of clobetasol
propionate from them is US$25. With bulk orders you can get more for less.
I have no financial interest or association with this company.
The tea tree oil emulsion only lets me bridge 4-5 days without the
cortisteorid, and my fingers are numb/tingelling a group now."
Have a great day,
Amy
