I have an infection somewhere but doc can't find.??
Question: On IV meds but WBC keeps rising. Email or IM me I am desperate. Came in hospital thru ER 10 days ago from extreme puking. Then a skin level absess was found and drained. WBC and SED rate are way up and rising. I'm on loads of prednisone and heavy antibiotics. Since I have RA they are keeping me to make sure it don't go sepsis. Any info is welcomed. I have my laptop here w/ me in hospital. Thanks ahead....Kerry in Idaho
Answers: I am not sure what you mean by WBC and SED and RA .
Do you have diabetes ?
Hope you feel better soon.
Have ur doc tested ur bone marrow to see if the infection is there. And SED rate also indicates swelling perhaps in your joints or any internal tissue.....or your brain. Have they ulrasound your organs....catscan....tested ur urine or stool for other traces of bacteria or viruses? Best wishes it all works out.....
Well at least you are on antibodies. Do not allow them to keep you on antibodies for long periods of time.
It is very important for males if they have an infection or any type of inflmation in their bodies to get plenty of cucumbers. I too had and still have a similar problem. I was told to eat cucumbers to flush out my kidneys.
This is how it works: If there is an inflamtion in your body, it produces proteins. That is how they know if there is an infection or inflamtion in your body by the protein count. Males cannot nautrally get rid of them like females. Females have periods.
Too many proteins will damage your kidneys. I tried it and it really worked. It also helped me to sleep like a champ. Eat them about an hour before bed. Of course, peel off the hull unless you grew them yourself.
get a second opion try a different dr or hospital. or call 1-800-ask a nurse also try web md.
