Diagnosed with something baaad

those flesh-eating virus are truly horrible, i feel bad for you dude

I wish you all the best, hope the docs give you a good treatment.

 

Hey man,

Sounds bad, sucks you cant play bass. Hope they find something quick.

 

Time to cut off that arm!

 

Couldn't agree more, and thats rare for me and morf!

 

Hmm. The ad I got on this page is about eczema. Let me tell you, the picture was kind of nasty.

But not as nasty as what it sounds like you're going through right now. Sorry to hear that man, especially being allergic to penicillin. Appearently, I'm allergic to it as well, although I don't think I ever got that confirmed. My parents just figure that since my brother's allergic to it, I'm allergic, too.

Seriously, hope you get better soon. No one should have to put up with that. Especially a bass player.

 

I don't know where you live or what kind of healthcare you have, but get to the best specialist you can--If your parents need to sell their house or whatever--do it. Do not waste any time.

 

Hope you get that taken care of. Good luck!

 

+ 1000. Get to an internationally recognized clinic or hospital right away i.e. UCLA...etc.

 

+2. I did some reading and it seems like this is NOT something to wait around on. Call mom and tell her you need to go...NOW. She'll understand. I wish you the best of luck, let us know how it goes!

 

I was thinking I didn't want to trip you out, but I had a very good friend die from this about 5 years ago. Do not take this slowly or lightly. If your local doc does nor know how to deal with it or will not refer you, then go somewhere else quick. It was only a week after the disease was discovered that my friend died. I don't want to scare you, but you really need to be scared of what you have.

 

o man that sounds horrible....i hope you get better!

 

Poor Flakeh. Get better soon dude.

 

This has also reminded me of a story I heard a couple of years ago from my American Government teacher. He was the cross country coach (I dunno if he still is, he's a dean now) and over the summer he took his team to a camp or something to go running. Well, they decided to take a swim in a place they shouldn't have. One of the kids ended up getting some kind of flesh eating virus or something like that in his eye. He ended up not being able to see out of it.

Good news, he got the nick-name "Johnny One-Eye". Better news, he got better and can see out of both eyes now, so there's still hope!

Hang in there, Flakeh!

 

Can't you just, like, boil your elbow? I'm sure that would kill off any virus.

 

good luck man .. glad to know that it's curable!

cool doc to have if he's a bassist!

 

get well soon, yo.


...and ...pics?

 

Good luck dude. If you have any problems make sure you complain about them. It's been my experience in hospitals that if you don't make at least a little noise then you tend to get ignored.
