Absesses Posted: 11-15-07 16:12pm
I have been getting a lot of absesses.
One on my back and about 10 on my sides
where my stretch marks are from having a
baby. My blood results show I do not have
an infection, but I am still concerned.
Is it Staph or MRSA? Even if it is
nothing, they are very uncomfortable, they
hurt a lot, and they are scarring me for
life. It is embarrassing to keep getting
these. Everytime I ask the doctor what it
is, they just say "some people are prone
to them". Can somebody help me?

I would personally get a second opinion
from an infectious disease doctor.
Something is causing the abcessess,
especially if they are occuring so often.

I am the same way! Every month [or twice a
month] for 2-3 years I have gotten random
infections. They have done all sorts of
blood work but nothing abnorm, I have
gotten 3 abcesses in my throat in the
space of 4 months when I went through a
bunch of bouts of strep, I got shingles as
a kid and now it seems like my body is
attackin the right side of my body!!!!!! 2
bouts of staph in 3 weeks [i have cleaned
everything in my house] along with this i
am completely and uterally exhausted
constantly...
someone said something about celiacs....
would this be a culprit if i had it?
I am only 18 and from all the infections i
have become immune/allergic to most
antibiotics!!!!
