Hello...ok here is my latest issue - hopefully someone can offer some advice/help for me - I am sorry this is so long...
Several months ago my troubles started with my eyes...I had an eye infection I couldn't get rid of & my site has been very blurry ever since. I went to 2 specialists - finally I was told blepharitis. I was put on
Antibiotics for several months. I bought new makeup, and new pillows & pillow cases, and tried my best to keep things clean & not touch my eyes then anything else etc.
I tried to have yogurt and acidophilus as required as I didn't want a yeast infection down there. My eye infection still comes & goes, sometimes I can see better out of that eye than other days - it has good days & bad days but that's not my full issue.
In February my foot became infected - it started with the big toe. I had gone in & told them & I suggested a fungal infection in my nail bed but I was told things were fine with my foot & was sent home. A week later my toe was infected, it was wet, dripping, pussy, my skin was falling off, omg it was gross....I went back in emergency. I was put on 7 days of IV therapy and some oral
Antibiotics & creams. The cultures mainly stated both Strep & Staph bacterial infection, and they were concerned with partial fungal infection as well. They were worried about the infection going to the bone or blood stream. It seemed to clear up fine after a few weeks or so and things were okay - my foot looked kinda normal.
I bought NEW socks & shoes & did everything to keep my feet clean and dry.
Mid March, my foot started to blister on the top & had red bumps all over it, I went back in & was like help its back - again I was again told things were fine, its in my mind...several days later, same things massive infection again, puss, dripping, skin falling off - this time it spread to all my toes & the top of my foot - I was sent to a different hospital & put back on 7 days of IV therapy (different stronger meds then the first time) and then 2 weeks of oral
Antibiotics & creams.
It started to clear up, but wasn't fully cleared up, now its coming back again. This last time they stated the cultures were the same containing both staff and strep bacterias, as well as having athletes foot now they think on that one foot.
I am keeping my foot aired out as much as possible - keeping it clean, dry and applying my topical cream they gave me. I have a few days left on the penicillin but my foot is not fully better.
Due to being on Penicillin (different types) daily since October (OMG - that's 6 months!) I am tired of all this and now I have developed yeast infection, ear infection and I get some areas on my skin that gets itchy rashes.
It's like these infections and/or whatever are rotating in my body, one thing goes away & boom another comes up, sometimes like in March - I had all at once, uggg...so sore & itchy...I even asked the doctors about
parasites or fungal infections & they looked at me like I was crazy. I think I have a massive candida problem.
I think my body needs a rest from all the penicillin & IV meds. I don't want to lose my foot tho, that would suck. Right now its not pussy but my foot does ache & hurt a lot on the inside, that hasn't stopped since February - and its itchy as hell.
I am wanting to go to more natural methods in curing all this (well right now I just want it cured!).
I have been struggling for a few years with various health issues & depression.....I have however, quit smoking & pretty much quit drinking alcohol - I am working on quitting
Sugar & processed foods now - as well as my number one thing I would like to quit now is Gluten. My eventual aim is to be living a Raw diet & lifestyle - or close to it anyways if I can. I am thinking too of possibly doing some cleanses or fasts? Can a person do them with all this stuff going on?
Anyways, any suggestions about the foot or what I should do? I have tried tea tree oil & oil of oregano, they didn't seem to help but maybe I didn't try them long enough?
