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.

Masterwolf, I hope and pray that you make a complete and speedy recovery. Thankfully, there are viable medical treatments.

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.

Sounds vicious. I hope the antibiotic will be enough to avoid you surgery. I wish you a good recovery.

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!
