Hi,
How are you? Like marebob, I also would like to hear any news regarding your aunt's condition. Any news about the culture and samples obtained? Was the steroid plan helped in reducing the inflammation present? Take care and do keep us posted.
Was wondering if they figured out what was wrong? I hope and pray she is still alive! I recently saw a show on Doctor Oz it was about a young man who had gotten HPV virus. Normally it would not have been as big of a deal but he had a problem with his immune system so it got out of control and he grew tree type stuff all over his body. Checking to see if she has an autoimmune system disease would be a good start. Could be like this young man she got something that should have been harmless but her immune system has let it run rampant. Update please I hope she is still alive!
Hi,
How is your aunt? I hope and pray that she is better. The complications should be first addressed to prevent worsening of symptoms. Are there results already of the culture and samples obtained? I also recommend that you have close communication with her doctors and know what their management plan and working diagnosis based from the laboratory results. This would help lessen the anxiety and doubts present. Hope to hear from you soon. Take care always.
First let me just thank you for taking the time to read my post. My aunt is still not doing will & her illness is still unknown at this time. I have been told by nursing staff that my aunt has been tested for venereal type of infections as well as other test for yeast & Fungi, Bacteria. She is also taking several kinds of antibiotics, but has yet to see sign of improvements. Doctor have remove tissue samples from the soft palette of her mouth and infected tissue from her arms. Doctors have also taking fluid samples from the legions/blisters. My aunt is now having complication with breathing due to having a collapsed lung, excessive amounts of flem, internal inflammation. Doctor inserted a breathing tube and has reduced some of the antibiotics so that they may start my aunt on a 3 day steroid program in hopes to reduced internal inflammation. There has also been several specialists visiting my aunt but nothing has been found yet. Its hard & we don’t want to expect any other out come then my aunt coming home.
thank you, positive energy is always a blessing
Hi,
How is your aunt? I'm sorry to hear what your family has been through for the past few weeks. What specific tests were done? Was there culture and sensitivity testing or referral to a dermatologists/infectious specialist done? I know it is hard to be in the dark but hang on. Take care and hope to hear from you soon.
I don't have any advice, but I wanted to say that I will be thinking of your family and hoping for the best.
