As I told you, the rash got worse after I attempted to drop the
dose of the cortisone. Worse still, it got infected by golden
staph. Anyway, I have been put on antibiotics for the
infection so the rash is sort of "under control" at the moment.
My dermatologist has now referred me to a senior dermatologist
at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and I just went to see him
yesterday. More blood tests as usual (don't know what) and I
am going to receive some "UVB" treatment for the next 4 weeks
before going back to see him. Also, he has referred me to
another infectious disease specialist. So, I am
specialist-out at the moment. Hopefully, will get the right
treatment at some point!
How are you?
Oh my gosh! Be glad you have Medicare, otherwise, on top
of the skin problem, you'd have to face a huge expense!
My gosh... sounds like some pretty nasty infection! Hope
you won't need I/V Antibiotics! Hope that they'll get to the
root of the problem too!
I'm fine, thanks! Very happy now that I spend three days
each week in the ICU.
