With this relief I welcome the smell LOL I dont care!!! awesome!
I am now about 2-3 weeks back on Turmeric in a capsule of 750 mg twice a day that also has cherry, black pepper, ginger) 2 a day and I'm really seeing tremendous difference, although it does get worse before it gets better because I had 3 weeks of constant draining, bleeding from my perineum/perirectal area and broke down and bought myself disposable pull-ups to wear :( So now I'm seeing tremendous improvement as turmeric takes about 6 weeks to really get into your system and start working. I've actuallyhad periods of remission on turmeric but I ran out and had to get off it due to finances. I'm going to try like hell to avoid that in the future as I need remission!! I'm also taking 50 mg zinc gluconate daily. What has happned is my skin is starting to heal but with scars that make it really uncomfortable, like my skin feels very tight down there. So I'll update on the Emuaid as after applying it about 20 minutes ago, it is very soothing to my raging and aggravated skin. I've been experiencing a lot of itching lately and I know that is from the healing and I believe the Emuaid will help that as well. The odor of Emuaid does not turn me off..it's the tea tree oil...which alone is a wonderful thing in itself. It smells a little like turpentine but it's really not a bad smell to me.

So far the itch relief has been a constant with the Eumaid.
It has not, as yet, opened any areas to drain (applying twice a day..thinking of going up to three) and one area that was opened actually closed up and began to refill with "junk".
The open wound on the inside of my leg (upper thigh area) is slowly healing. Actually it is healing faster than other open areas that I have chosen to not put the Eumaid on. So I am grateful for that.
Steph, how often are you applying the Eumaid, and are you covering those areas or leaving them uncovered??
Will post more updates as they come.

I just finished my first Emuaid Trial Research Evaluation. It's been two weeks and I've used it every day. The first week I only used it twice a day a little dab here and there with no results. The second week I increased to four times a day and applied much more with better results. It seems to be a nice mixture of ingrediants that we've used seperately. Not to heavy for a topical. To soon to call after only two weeks, everything helps for a while. Looking for something lto help us ong-term. Happy for Emuaids' willingness to try and help us and hope they will be able to. More later. Prayers to everyone.
