Yesterday I had to go to the ER. I had a scratch on my chest for 3 weeks and it formed skin over it. This is from work. I didn't think much of it cause i thought it was an ingrown hair the way my skin healed but then it was getting worst and weak with a fever. I was sent to the ER and the doctors said an abscessed got into my blood stream that has weaken me. And it got into my blood stream, I am on high anti biotics. My muscles and joints feel sore. I have to stay on this antibiotic for a week cause if this remains in my stream it can hit into a vital organ like brain or heart. If it doesn't clear up for the next week they will have to cut me open to get it out surgically.

That sucks man
I hope this blood poison goes away

Masterwolf, I hope and pray that you make a complete and speedy recovery. Thankfully, there are viable medical treatments.
-
Good luck to you and may G-d watch over your health.
-
sounds like MRSA
-
MasterWolf, that sounds like a truly frightening situation you are in. I don't know you but you come off as a good guy. I hope this clears up for you with no further stress or problems. It sounds like there is not much you can personally do, its up to your body; times like this can be frustrating [I am sure if you are like me you would rather have to do some task like move a really heavy rock or run a mile or two really fast to fix things, instead of waiting for your body to do what you want it to on its own]. I said a Refuah Shlema prayer for you.
-
May you have total healing quickly...
Please take care of yourself...
-
Master Wolf I'll pray for you brother.
-
You are in my prayers brother. I will have you in mind for Shacharit.
-
I will pray for you MasterWolf.
Get as much rest as possible.
-
Take care of yourself bro, rest, restore your strength, take ALL of your antibiotics.
-
Praying.... :doctor:
-
I hope and pray for a speedy recovery!!!!
-
With the help of God, may you have a full and speedy recovery. You are in my prayers.
-
Blood poisoning? i'll pray MW
-
Sounds vicious. I hope the antibiotic will be enough to avoid you surgery. I wish you a good recovery.
-
Am praying for you, just make sure you give your body the rest it needs to heal!
-
Sheesh.
I just prayed.
-
praying for you, Wolfie..
-
Thanks my friends, it will be fine within a week. Luckily it has been detained. I should be as good as new within a week with the right care
-
I never felt anything like this before, fatigue, aches in my joints it has the same feeling of flu symptoms. I have to becareful with the shower and if any sweat or any form of moisture cause that has caused it to spread any form of moisture

Wolf, I'm sorry to hear about this. Like New Yorker wrote, take ALL your antibiotics and make sure to follow up with your doctor. Meanwhile eat plenty of plain yogurt, along with fruits, vegetables. Antibiotics can destroy the *good* bacteria in your body, which is why I brought up yogurt. Rest up. I'll pray for you to get well soon.
-
Pm me if you want. I am a medical doctor. I hope you feel better. Do not let them discharge you until you feel ready. Were you scratched by a cat? What organisms did your blood cultures grow? Look up at you antibiotic bags that are hanging and make note of them

I hope you get better. Its terrible to get sick in the summer. On a side note what does getting scratched by a cat have to do with a blood infection?

MW, you might want to also research some acidophilus and blue-green algae and consider taking some of that stuff too, when you are off the anti-biotic. Feel better! ;D

Cats scratches could cause a bad infection. Thankfully even when Blackie scratched me one time it didn't get infected but I got a tetanus shot anyway. Silly cat, I was pushing her food bowl closer to her, not trying to take it away. lol
Cat bites (actual puncture wounds) can be very, very serious because they drive bacteria deep into the wound.

I must be very resistant because I have been scratched many times and I have never had any infection from the scratch...

Me too Muman. I got scratched a LOT and still do sometimes. I even had Baby bite me a few days before she died (she just grazed me with her teeth though, she wasn't strong enough for a puncture wound) and nothing horrible happened. However that doesn't mean that cat bites and scratches can't be dangerous. If you get a puncture wound from a cat bite you need to go to the doctor even if it doesn't look bad.

Me too. My little boy is actually pretty huge and I have the sneaking suspicious that he was neutered later than most males because he is ripped to the gills with muscles... and I play with him quite roughly because he needs it. He's quick, but I'm quicker; but I'll take more precautions now... who knew!

I am starting to feel better, I will see the doctor again on Saturday to see what else is needed to get this out of me.
