I am waiting for the doctor but I am on a drip with antibiotics and pain meds and saline.
There is a post covid phenomenon where your body or immunity seems to freak out 3 weeks later. Bacteria can be dormant in your system and suddenly something will activate it. They think that is what happened to me.
I went to my doc because my legs got really sore. I asked her to test my blood clotting and she added a test for infection count. Seems those had abnormal results.
They have done a doppler scan of my legs - boy was that painful. But they say no clots - but plenty of infection. And the best way to treat it is through intravenous antibiotics. So here I sit. I looked terrible after all the weight loss from covid as my skin aged a lot - I look a whole lot worse now with this bacterial infection. It is called cellulitis. The weird thing is I don't remember any cuts or sores on my legs - so no idea how the bacteria got in. Do not google - it is not pleasant. And it only kills 0.08% of severe cases. So I am fine.
You really seem to pick uphill battles...
My mother has been battling that same thing for months. Get antibiotics, better, few weeks and she needs meds again.
They've now run some tests and scans. She has to wait for the results.
Was done through NHS (uk).
Meaning they make people wait weeks.
They have medical aid, but medical aid in the uk is apparently different to here. Far more full of shit.
