My grandmother is suffering from skin disease. Trying to help her find a product she could use to relieve her pain and arthritis, I finally had enough. Nothing seems to work. The worst pain you could ever feel is watching a family memberyou love suffer while you stand by helpless to do anything about it. Sometimes just the simple act of sitting drove her to tears. So seeing them suffer when they should be enjoying life was very hard to bear. I had enough. I just had to do something about it. Out of frustration, I researched through countless booksand the Internettrying to find out as much information as I could about... I came across this:
Celestone is a corticosteroid. It reduces swelling. Celestone is used for many conditions, among them: allergic reactions, skin diseases (psoriasis, hives), breathing problems; certain cancers, blood disorders, and eye problems; arthritis, digestive problems, and for hormone replacement.
As any corticosteroid, that one is anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic. It shouldn't be used for long periods of time. Max 2 weeks. It doesn't treat the cause, but just treats the symptoms.
In fact, you should get your grandmother checked at your doctor or in a hospital. A doctor is required to diagnose your grandma's problem (i.e. what's the cause of that?), and choose a proper cure.
