This forum is responsible for me being able to make contact with so many others that were seeking some type of treatment for this painful and benign disease.  It was thru the courtesy of others sharing their experiences and their guidance that I was able to successfully be treated with low dose radiation therapy.  

As you will read further in my journey, I have successfully halted the disease in both feet at this time. I am pain free and my nodules are completely flat.  I have regained my life and almost all activities to their fullest.

I wanted to share with you DART's contact information so that you can now become part of this group as you follow my journey.  You will be able to ask questions with real people who have had this treatment and many of them had it years ago.  This forum is open to world wide members and has forum administrators from several countries.

Dupuytren's Disease, Dupuytren's Contracture and Ledderhose Disease

Very interesting article this week on Fibromyalgia and finding out where the pain source comes from.  It just brings up another reason why Dupuyren's may be so painful also.  Take a look at it when you have time. "Scientists have now revealed that the main source of pain stems from a most unlikely place- excess blood vessels in the hand."  http://healingbright.com/fibromyalgia-mystery-finally-solved/

NORD, National Organization for Rare Disease recognizes Dupuytren's and it's affiliated disease as a rare disease. http://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/dupuytrens-contracture/ While Dupuyren's disease or Ledderhose disease does not always cause contracture, Dupuytren's Contracture is a term used for the hands when they do contract.  NORD has chosen February 28, 2017 as Rare Disease Day( http://rarediseases.org/for-patients-and-families/connect-others/rare-disease-day/ )and on this day we can each share our story on their website and on our personal sites to make others aware of this disease.  Please share your story, our disease is not as rare as you think!  We have millions of people in the USA with this disease and we still do not have anyone in an active stage of testing for a cure.  The Dupuytren Foundation is trying to find 10,000 people to sign up for the Dups Study, but in 6 months they have only found 700.  So, sharing your story will help us get to those millions.  If you have not registered, please do: The Dup's Study link is:  http://dupuytrens.org/enroll-in-the-iddb/

Dupuytren's Disease In The News

RUSSIA CONFERENCE May 2016
First international conference in Russia, dedicated to the problems of Dupuytren's contracture treatment and treatment of other diseases of the hand, such as stenosing ligamentitis (Trigger finger, De Quervain tendinitis), tunnel syndromes etc.

It is a shame these Surgeons do not even mention Radiation Therapy as a treatment option.  With no cure, it would be BEST to have non-invasive treatment if possible before any surgery since trauma tends to put Dupuytren's or Ledderhose into an active state.  ARGGGGG!
