Need some new avenues to explore.

Infection

I had abdominoplasty a little over 2 years ago.  I have been plagued with bacterial or other infections that can never be diagnosed.  I have had 4 clean out surgeries complete with many samples taken and sent to the lab.  The results always come back indicating no infection.  I have seen an Infectious Disease doctor for over 8 months.  My surgeon just shakes his head and claims he has no explanation as to why this continues to happen.  Just this past week an area on my abdomen again turn red, swollen and looked like a pimple coming to a head which was very painful.  My general MD took a sample (which was  ugly puss) and stated that there was no way the test results would come back without indicating infection.  They came back NO INFECTION.  I now have an area on the original scar that is starting to turn red.  I do not feel the Infection Doctor or more surgery is going to solve the situation.  I lost  my job a year ago and have no insurance.  Does anyone have any suggestions or had the same experience.  I've also had a cat scan.

Ever heard of MRSA? similiar to a staff infection however alot more serious... Alot of doctors will probably send u away saying no u cant have that but i wld suggest u research it further.
Try sum antibacterial cream, dont touch it to much as u could spread the infection.. Rose hip oil, fantastic
Good luck(:

Yes, I agree with evathought.  I have been suffering from the ailments of a MRSA infection and its aftermath for 11 months now.  Many of my tests have came back showing no infection.  MRSA is a tricky nasty bacteria.  It was recommended to me by my chiropractor that I try a certified lymphatic drainage specialist.  I have since done so and after 2 visits I am healing quickly and feeling better.  I am not saying it is the cure all but it definately will help.  The dr. at UCSF also ok'd that I participate in that type of treatment.  Also, be very careful not to touch or spread the infection..it is HIGHLY contagious!  Wash/change your bedding EVERY day.  If you have others in your home keep your personal items and sheets towels separtate from theirs. Also, eating tons and tons and tons of watermelon and straight pure cranberry can help flush out your system as the toxins from the infection can build up in your liver, kidneys, and lymphnodes.  I hope that helps!  I wish you a speedy recovery!
