    Ideas

    I have read that people use udder cream or bag balm on feet and hands.  Wear cotton socks to bed, and cotton gloves on hands at night. (After applying the lotion).  Some people have used lanolin.  If you visit the smartpatients website there will be more ideas.  Henna has been suggested.  A certain brand of sock also.  Best wishes for feeling better.

    Sorry about the blisters.  If

    Sorry about the blisters.  If he is taking 800 mgs you might want to ask the doc to decrease it, it works even at a dose of 200, mgs for some people.  Speak to the doc.    Past experience shows when blisters happen, the dose is too much for the body at times.  Hugs.
