Hi list~ I was treated today at our village clinic for cellulosis or something like that ( can't find the paper on it )...basically a skin infection. I was told that if I hadent come in when I did I would have needed to go on an antibiotic drip. It started yesterday with an ingrown hair in my calf with some irritation around it about the size of a dime. Within 24hrs it quickly grew into the size of my hand. In addition to the itching and burning on the RED surface of this infection, I experienced flu like symptoms, nausea, dizziness, lightheadedness, overtiredness, body aches, and chills throughout today. These lead me to believe that the infection was spreading throughout my body, which made me nervous and drove me to seek a medical proffessional. And also the fast spreading of the redness and rash like circle. I started drinking colloidal silver last night, and took several oz of it during today, also applying it topically to no avail. The spread just kept spreading rapidly. Now I have been instructed to take this antibiotic~cephalexin~500mgs 4 times daily. I explained to the Dr that I was concerned about the anitbiotic because of my chronic yeast condition, and he all but blew me off. He was angry with me also for not accepting a tetanis shot. I do not normally go to Drs unless I feel the condition is not treatable holistically (and I avoid all vacinations like the plague (no pun)). I cannot remember the last time I took an antibiotic. I gave birth last February in my home in a brave attempt to enpower my Self and trust my body without the help of a physician, and it was the most wonderful thing I have ever done. ANYWAY...I am concerned about the ramifications of using this antibiotic, even though I feel it is necessary at this time. I have added a flora to my diet in an attempt to balance the ill effects, and I am curious if any of you have any input on what else might be of help to me at this point. And if you can think of anything I should have done differently. Thanks~ Dawn
