You've not been filling your belly button with salt/dip so you can dip Carrot sticks etc in to save on the washing up!!! :biggrin1:

Not had it myself Dee but in seriousness, perhaps a sea salt rinse might help?

It is pretty easy to get a yeast infection in ye olde belly button. If it is a yeast infection keep an eye on your blood sugar. That was how i found out I was diabetic initially, yeast infection around the belly button. Itched like crazy.

[Sangye]

That's a good tip, Bob. :smile1:

Well with the Prednisone I know our blood sugar sometimes gets out of wack.

[Sangye]

Yes, and it predisposes us to developing diabetes (during pred use and later). Stinkin' pred. :glare:

My blood glucose readings and A1C levels have generally improved a great deal as i have tapered down to lower dosages of prednsione. I expect it will continue to improve with further prednisone decreases.
