hi all, i wanna post a thread about ringworm - vile i know! in feb this year i caught ringworm, went to my dr and he told me that it was just a reaction to something. my family, nieces and nephews and even my cats caught it. dr still wouldnt treat me even after confirmed diagnoses for other family (not with my dr) and my cats treatment cost ?350. dr finally gave me antibiotics which didnt work. its now december and im still having attacks. i call them attacks as i had to find a natural way to deal with the ringworm.
now ringworm is just a fungal skin condition, not real worms, and i found that household vinegar rubbed into the open sores heals it although it stings like mad for a couple of seconds! however, my dr still wont diagnose it for me. i saw a programme a few weeks back which actually stated that it is a symptom of diabetes, esp in undiagnosed diabetics. apparently if someone has recurrent infection then they need to test for diabetes.
has anyone had it or got it and know that its connected with diabetes? in my mind its similar to thrush and thats a known symptom/side effect of the big d. so i thought this post might help someone else. its really embarrasing but the best advice i can offer is wash all bedding in disinfectant, underwear the same and dont share hand towels incase you either pass it on or catch it. does this help anybody?
