A ton of bricks,

Well, the last ten months for me have been extremely hellish.
July, bit by a brown recluse and boil number one.
August, boil two through six.
September, bronchitis, treated not fixed,  boil seven through 10
October, still the bronchitis, boil 11 though 18
November, Pneumonia, ear infection, treated not fixed, boil 19 though 33 [kid you not, but by this time I'm a pro at lancing them myself]
December, same ear infection but moved into both ears,  panic attacks at least 5 times a day [previous condition, on .5mg on lorazepam and 10mg of celexa a day], boil 34 though 37
January, same ear infections, my gallbladder bursts [hospitalized for six days], after hospitalization, folliculitis over most of my body, poisoning from too many antibiotics.
February, same ear infections, mostly just recovery from January, can't sleep, anxiety, depression, boil 38 thought 45
March, same ear infections, ulcer in descending colon, wisdom teeth [:(] diagnosed with MRSA, random blackouts, too many boils to count
and
April, same ear infections, more boils, being tested for PCOS, thyroid, hormones, ect, found cyst in breast, currently feeling hot flashes, insomnia, depression, ect.

Over this time I've gained 70 pounds, lost all my friends to depression, been on more medications then my 76 year old grandmother and had to repeat school because I couldn't get out of bed in the morning.

I just want to know how I can be healthy as a horse, not ever a cold or flu in years then BAM this. What's wrong with me?

I do not smoke, I do not do drugs, I work out at least 4 times a week for 3 hours a day, I eat healthy, I get all my servings of fruit and veggies and drink at least 3L of water a day and I'm 19 years old.

I'm tired of being told to go to the next doctor and the next and the next only to be passed along to this specialist and this specialist and so on. I'm tired of losing my life to being sick. I'm tired of not getting answers. I just want to be better. I just want my life back.

Please, anyone walking with me, I could use the company.

Nah it wasn't too bad. I went to the hospital right after I was bit because I'd seen it before and they immediately put me on antibiotics. It took 3 weeks to actually heal and I have a pretty bad scar from it but it never broke skin.

How bad was the bite? I was reading treatments depends on the bite and that medicine to counteract brown recluse spider venom is not available in the United States or Canada. Did you develope any sores from the bite?

Sorry to hear you have not had a good past few months. Hopefully rhings start getting better soon.
