Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Hello all. I haven't been here in a while, so I thought I would post my personal update. I hope everyone is well or making progress. I have chronic sinusitis with facial, ear, and eye complications. I have been on doxy, zith, and mino for ~ 18 months. Never two at once except for some ocassional pulsing. Recently I was feeling ~90% better , but I started feeling I was backsliding (some slight malaise, sweating of forehead and back of neck). I have recently acquired some zith, so I began 500mg/day, also 500mg/day doxy. The focal point of my infection balled up tight and began hurting (right side of face, eye, ear, nose, both cheeks), which told me that I had definitely gotten somethings attention. Whether it is the mycoplasma that I had, but was recently told I now test negative for, I don't know. Don't know what else it could be, because I have in the past taken IV's of clindamycin and rocephin, vanco and impenem, and without resolution. Also, multiple nasal swabs in the past have shown nothing except epidermidis coag neg. staph, which is common contaminant and ubiquitious flora, also should say that all tissue samples were sterile. Sounds like CWD to me. On a positive note, I once took vitamin C to " titration " , which for me was at my sickest point was 80 grams. The theory goes, the sicker you are, the more you will be able to hold before losing your bowels. Today I titrated to a maximum 13 grams. I hope this means something. Take care all and hope all are showing great improvement. A question for Penny: Penny, how is your Ketek therapy going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
