the cream is called vaniqua, i asked my doctor for it, they dont really like prescribing it as it cost about 100 for a tiny tube, it took me 7 years to get it! it works ok, it slows the growth down but doesnt stop the spread of it.

My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
