You really can't legally be offering prescription drugs. It's dangerous and against the law.
So ... no!

Someone offered and old shower sleeve on board-I took up the offer in a pm and they mailed it to me. free
likewise there was someone looking for a book about Healing Lyme, so we pm'd and I sent her the book. free
ps- we have moved several times since-if I can find th sleeve I will send it to you. but don't stay out of the shower waiting-cause I have no idea where it is now.

The hubby just uses a plastic bag from the grocery (the small clear kind from the vegetable section) open at both ends and secured above and below with a rubber band.
He has used this system for over a year with no problems whatsoever. The showers are fairly short, of course, to avoid problems with the rubber bands.

We had a discussion about protection of IV ports a couple of years ago on CaliforniaLyme. Here's what someone said:
When doing a sauna, it is best not to use a PICC protector, as that will trap additional sweat near the PICC dressing. If you are doing a sauna twice a week, it is probably best to schedule a dressing change immediately after each sauna, especially if you have any redness under the dressing.
Personally, I have taken many infrared saunas in a sauna bag and never had a problem with a loose dressing or increased redness under the dressing. I have also taken a few regular saunas without any difficulty. There are also clear occlusive dressings that work well when someone has excessive sweating. OpSite IV 3000 is one such dressing designed to cover all types of central lines (PICC's, Hickman's, and Ports), which will remain adhered to the skin even if there is excessive sweating. There are many different OpSite products, so you must be specific if you want/need to try this product. Your nurse may also be able to make suggestions if you decide to add the Infrared Sauna to your health regime.

I'm checking out the web sites and trying hard not to shower too long. Showering is where I have the problem...
I have an infrared sauna daily, and find wrapping the arm w/a hand towel soaks up the sweat without any problem. The insertion site has a plastic covering that I am changing every other day because of leaking body fluids- not sweat. I am changing the gauze outside the plastic covering 3-4X a day. This is getting better...
Even with all these hassels, I am seeing improvement w/headaches and aches & pains
