Hi all! A while back I posted that I have been getting sick since last November with one thing or another. After I finally got my fathers affairs in order I took time for myself. It turns out that I have been hosting a nasty Staph aurius infection in my sinuses and elsewhere.
It is not technically MRSA, but it has become resistant against every oral antibiotic. We first tried Vancomycin. after a week, still had a feaver. Beginning the second week of the new combo of cubusin and Invanze.
I am seeing an infectious disease doc. I finally called and left a message for my neuro about it yesterday. (He was in another town yesterday.) I am on Gilenya, and I know that the protocol is to take me off of it until the infection is gone. The infectious disease doc does not want to stop it because current condition + relapse would be awful.
I have had more blood testing and such than I can count in the last few weeks, but not enough answers yet. It looks like not only is my autoimmune system (MS) broken, so is my immune (IgG, IgA and several others).
I am worn out, beginning to get depressed, (having all of my childhood junk from my dad's house thrown in), and no end in sight.
