If you dont mind.. keep me in your thoughts. I have cellulitis again . And its worse than it was 3 weeks ago. Its extremely painful and with it being a bad infection, I cant do much at all. It started Friday night with chills and now I am still carrying a fever, the area is fire red with bumps of infection pockets which some are oozing. I went to the doctor today and he was going to put me in the hospital. He wanted to speak with an infection speciaist. The specialist thought we could do the tests that needed to be done as an outpatient. So I got that done. They also started me on antibioticsand I also have a special soap that I have to use everyday. Its used for staph infections. So I guess they are thinking that is what this is. I am relieved that I didnt have to go to the hospital. But I also know that if it gets worse and or, the test results show something up that I need to go to the hospital for I have to go. I am so sick of being sick all the time. It wears me down. I am tired of not having any energy .And I am scared with this cellulitis that if treatment doesnt help it will turn into gangreen. This fear is very real cause I saw my mom go thru it and had to have 2 toes amputated.
Just asking for your thoughts if you dont mind. Thanks so much.
