STAPH INFECTIONS

I've been suffering from staph infections for over 6 years now.
when i got pregnant i got 3 boils every month and that was very difficult.
i've had 2 out patient operations because of this.
but i know that many of you have been suffering this too
and as much as we'd all like to share our pain,
what we really need is a cure.
my first attempts were shamefully stupid
but rest assured that it only gets better.
i am here to talk about what i have tried
and what the effects were of each treatment or medicine
i'll start from my first to the most recent which was 3 months ago.
(yey!)

i know you might have gone to a doctor
and the doctor told you this and that
this posting is not to force you to do anything.
these are merely the things that I did.



1. remedy: it was itchy i scratched, things got ugly.
my sister used the nipper to open up the "pimple"
and cleaned it out with alcohol
YIKES
and i drank antibiotics (Cloxacillin)
mom said first dose should be double, i finished all 22 caps.

effect: loss of voice from all the screaming, still had boils the month after


2. remedy: tea tree oil, clean sheets, clean room, clean everything, no sugar/ice cream/coke diet, 5x a day baths OC mode

effects: minty fresh skin with boils


3. remedy: diet! it might be the fats talking. no fats, no refined sugars, no oil, work out, sun exposure, maintain cleanliness like crazy, kill anyone who sits on my bed with a butt that didn't come from the shower.

effects: a lot of fights with my sister, lost a little weight, maintained boils


4. remedy: crushed garlic on top of boils

effects: a stinky workplace (i denied that it was me who stunk), when the garlic slipped the bandage, it burnt part of my skin that didn't have the boil and i still have 2 scars from the 1 ONE garlic. just 1 garlic. 2 scars. awesome.

5. remedy: eat a lot of natural antibiotic a.k.a. GARLIC

effects: ohhh i love garlic and always have but this time it burned my mouth, i couldn't eat for a day. tried different kinds of soaps. bought 6 kinds of soaps per month. still maintained boils every month

6. remedy: cut open the boils, have someone pinch the pus out then put extremely hot water and crushed aspirin then bandage (used several meds even popped an antibiotic open and placed powder on top of wound)

effects: visible scar with keloid, can no longer wear shorts without being ashamed and continued to maintain monthly boils

7. remedy: operation, cloxacillin and then augmentin, bath with sulfur soap only

effects: weight gain due to meds and acids, maintained monthly boils


8. remedy: zantac and a whole lot of crying due to pregnancy

effects: went to Infectious Diseases doctor, had samples taken from my ears and nose, it was inconclusive and was worth 2000Php. i couldn't afford to have the other tests to find out the bottom of all of this. by this time i have spent more or less 30,000Php and didn't want to spend anymore on myself and just spend it on my daughter


9. ***remedy: ICHTYOL ointment, the older folks said that's what they used back in the day. put ichtyol on the boils and bandage

effects: the boils popped sooner and the scar wasn't horrible and instead of the 7 day routine of each boil, it came down to 4-5 days max. when the boil popped you could literally pull out the "sac" of the pus.


10. *** remedy: my mom forced me to drink a garlic essence capsule NOT GARLIC OIL! GARLIC ESSENCE (it was said to be just the scent of garlic)

effects: wow! no boils for 2 months



11. *** remedy: calmoseptine. for red bumps that are itchy or just any bumps in question

effects: itchy bumps did not become itchy therefore minimizing boils, BUT the staph came out of my eye instead, like stye


12. *** remedy: eye ointment recommended by the doctor

effects: eyes good, skin bad. again. i'm not surprised i should say


14. ***remedy: lactobacillus something soap

effects: OH MY... no recurrence ever since used. it dries us the crazy bumps and peel off 2 days after.


btw, i didn't miss the numbering, having this condition/disease, i've become so paranoid and superstitious. and there were several remedies that i did that i did not bother to mention, there was just soooo many that i tried.

NOW, i use calmoseptine if i have bumps specially in the inner thighs and armpits, use the lactobacillus soap daily (but you might get extremely dry skin due to this so use lotion, i use aveeno) and keep a stash of ichtyol ointment and eye ointment just in case. xx crossing my fingers that i wouldn't have to use them again.

i have been thinking for the longest time to post thgis information because when i got pregnant and desperate, i turned to the net for advice and some of the things i tried were from the net, so here's to giving it back.
i hope the remedies work for you.
and if you want to try what i've been using and you are not in the philippines,
just message me and we might be able to arrange something so i can send the meds to you.
by the way, if you know someone in the philippines and ask them to buy the things i mentioned, i highly doubt they can find it. hehehe


be healthy!
