Followup: tissue infection

Not to be worrying you more, but have you ever been tested for high blood sugar? If it's not an MSRA, that can be a cause of slow healing wounds (especially of the feet) and cause other physical symptoms like fatigue too.

Big hug your way, HG6.

(Isn't that guy with the free hugs in Seattle?)

I hope you can find a way to see a doctor again. It seems like pretty necessary to me. Being in Canada, I feel malaise and anger every time I read reports here about how the costs of basic, required medical treatment (not frivolous stuff!!) and how it is handled by your insurance companies prevents you from receiving proper care, down in the US, and puts you in a situation where things can get worse. I find this totally absurd.

Good vibes your way. I hope you find your way around this soon.

I have indeed been checked for sugar levels. Everybody's always suprised when they're normal, since I have PCOS which frequently goes hand in hand with insulin resistance.

Good to hear that. Take care of your foot though and hopefully they'll keep you on the anitbioitics a little longer next time, since it seems like it almost worked before.

(((((HipGnosis6))))) I understand about it being a financial hardship, but it sounds as though you need to be seen again.

sending health and money vibes your way, HipG. I'm sickened also when I hear about how much it costs for basic medical attention, which you *need* right now.

I also, though, understand about the wondering where the physical problems end and the psychological stuff starts. I still have no answer on the possible gallbladder issue, and my next appointment, which will be with the GI specialist is Dec 12. I'm glad I don't have to pay out of pocket for all these tests and doc visits, but it sure is moving slowly. So, I too, am experiencing the fatigue that is not bad enough to miss work, but bad enough to not be able to do a whole much of anything other than work....

It sucks, but remember, as with all things, this too will pass.

Hugs and butterflies,

My DH had wound MRSA and yours sounds like his. He had a month of IV drip vancomysin (sp?) 2X day, 2 hours each time. He had a pic line inserted in the hospital so I could do it at home. Also sterile technique wound dressing, etc. It was quite an ordeal.

The 13th is a week from now. No way to get in earlier? I don't like the sound of this.
