Can confirm. Not fun. At all. About 5 days ago I came across 2 research sites. These sites talked about combo treatment of fungal infection while using Linezolid, and Itraconazole. As I read into it more and more, it dawned on me that I need to just go all in on this. It’s really sad to think that I’ve gone through numberous doctors with 0 results
I joked with all as we walked through co as to tonight. I have no probables calling a doctor an idiot. I just won’t be back. Even drs that were supposed to be the best, really did nothing for me except make me spend money I don’t have.
Sadly that’s how it was everywhere with almost everyone. Between Lurcott, Sarid, maybe Hepworth, they were the exception to the rule. They tried. They did what they could. The rest failed. Horribly.
The cycle of steroids and antibiotics realistically brought upon a silent contender for my body. Every wave of antibiotics, just make it silently grow more and more to the point it was confusion who/what the enemy is.
About a week ago I decided fuck it, it’s try itraconazole. By day 2 I was absolutely miserable. Several websites talked about how painful and miserable things become when trying to eradicate fungal. The nausea has been there forever. What I wasn’t ready for, was the lesions all over just revolting at once. Yea. My head hurt, but it was a different kind of hurt. But at least now I’m taking the risks I should have been, but only I can get myself through this. After the last ER visit, I have to visualize that I need to take a different tone with the doctors. So far it’s seems to have worked up until all this.
After the success with the itraconazole, I asked for a shitload of it and to just blast me. It’s easy to say / do / get from Lurcott. He’s pretty common sense. As he talked over the report, it was pretty clear some bad shit was removed. My bone will heal, just slowly. That’s fine, I’ve got lots of time. I asked for the antifungal after showing him my face, head and mouth. He had the pictures previously. So we both agreed to aggressively get it fixed.
At the same time I reached out to Hepworths office to see if they can do. As expected, they haven’t called back. I think it’s safe to say that that office is completely unwilling to help.
Today sucked. It was our anniversary and I can barely get off of the couch. I feel helpless and useless. If the Itraconazole is truely working, this die off I’m experiencing is the absolute worst. The nausea is something I haven’t experienced to this extreme. Not even my worst hangover doesn’t even come anywhere close. It at times makes me just gag. The past few days I’ve thrown up. But not all the way.
The burning throat and sour taste is all I need to feel and taste to know. My sinuses have just been hurting. Crawling. I’m really unsure what’s the best thing I can do to help that. The post nasal shot that constantly keeps dumping out the back of my throat just looks like white stuff. The bloody stuff does continue though. Chunks. Bright red blood. Periodically it’s brownish and yellow. It’s super sticky too. So I’m not sure what all that means.
