Right so I noticed that my blog is now linked to on here: http://dupuytrens-society.org.uk/TreatmentL.html
Which is great and crazy at the same time, at least it means that my story should reach a few more people and maybe the forum as a place to talk for a few more people. So I thought I would investigate and see what else I could find and found that Google searches for the following words result in the blog coming up in the rank shown:
I also saw that someone had linked to the blog through a search with Ledderhose and weight as their search and the blog comes up 9th with this.
Ledderhose blog - 7th
Plantar Fibroma Blog - Forum is 6th and blog 9th
How to cope with Ledderhose or how to cope with plantar fibroma - 1st (wow)
Ledderhose & running trainers - 7th
Plantar Fibroma Support - Forum - 7th (disappointingly Ledderhose support does not yield the same result)
Christmas and Ledderhose - 3rd
Cali and Ledderhose - 10th (thank you Cali)
Plantar Fibroma Forum - 2nd & 3rd - interestingly the forum does not come up but the blog does in 8th place.
Plantar Fibroma Video - 4th place - another one that has actually been used to find the blog.
Another very likely search to be done is Plantar Fibroma Sportsman where the blog comes 2nd and 3rd.
Plantar Fibromatosis physio -2nd Interestingly this brings up the review I wrote on Dooyoo which is the same as one of my first posts on here. http://ledderhose.blogspot.com/2011/11/plantar-fibroma-real-pain-in-foot.html. This also comes 3rd if you search for plantar fibroma uk specialist
So as you can see there is a huge chance for people that need help with this disease to come across this blog, come across the forum and hopefully be able to find someone else with the disease even if we can't make the pain go away.

On my travels I also came across this
http://www.pfizer.co.uk/sites/uk/media/pressreleases/Pages/200PeformersCreateGiantHumanHandtoShowImpactofDUPUYTREN%E2%80%99SDISEASE.aspx
I know it is for the hand version (for lack of a better phrase) of the disease but it is good to see someone with a bit of backing trying to raise awareness.
Hi, thanks to your site, I came across the new site "itsinyourhands" through the link above.
ReplyDeleteI've had Dupuytrens for a good few years now but didn't do anything about it (I didn't even know there was a name for it!) until it became obvious it was gradually getting worse.
To be honest, I'm really not a pill-taker & always look for a natural alternative for an ailment. The thing is, a lady I know who works with herbs/oils etc, recommended I take a look at an enzyme called Serrapeptase.
I did & have been taking it for 5 months now with great results. The rope-like build-up on my left palm has broken up into pieces & getting softer! I reckon at the 12 month stage I might be rid of it.
I'm trying to spread the word - it's working for me, so why not other folks?
Many thanks
Pete
I am glad that the blog was able to help someone. I would be grateful if you would share your story on the forum associated to this blog as there might be some interested people there. Out of curiosity do you have any lumps in the arch of your feet?
ReplyDeleteAs for Serrapeptase, I would be reluctant to spend my money on something that is unproven as studies have not shown that this works and at best it has been described as a anti-inflammatory / pain killer and I am surprised to hear that it is resolving your Dupuytrens. Nice to hear that something is working for you though.
