Jody,
I saw that you posted that you had "sores" on your head examined by a wound nurse. Did they do any cultures on your skin sores?
Also, you stated that you were on IV antibiotics for an infection. When they cultured your "infection" do you remember the name?
Are you taking your Cipro and Flagyl orally at home?
Thanks for answering. I am hoping for some clues.
Kmarie

Jody, I'm sorry to hear too what you've been going through.
And Metronidazole/Flagyl, yes, that sure does seem to be the "drug of choice" as I too was given that in the hosp in an IV daily and a script when I left.
My prayers are with you. Please if you can keep us informed of how you're doing.
Big warm hugs.

Jody so sorry to hear of your tough times. I am praying for you and I hope and pray you will feel better soon. Are you home bound now? Do you have anyone to take care of you(you don't have to answer that if you don't want too) What did the doctor say? Is he telling you to get rest or what?

So sorry to hear what you've been going through. You're in my heart, and prayers. I hope you're out of pain now, & if you have any, just call your doc's nurse. I am an anti-pain radical.
Much love, & hugs, freaky

kmarie im not sure what the cultures were...but they took so much blood i was out of it for at least one day.they gave me morphine. im not even sure what antibiotics it was but it was two mixed together.and a lot of other meds. but the wound care nurse came in and had a ruler and was measuring my sores.yes kmarie im taking cipro and flagyl.but still cant have a bowel movement.but the dr. gave me this med called lactulose im hoping it works soon.but i will need surgery.do u think i could ask for my record of what all they found wrong with me.i do know i have a uti infection but i always have it.if i get my results i will post them.
