Suggest Treatment For Excruciating Pain From Serratia Marcescens, Narcolepsy And Blindness
In 2012 I was admitted to Hospital Loosing the sight in my Left Eye. The Opthomelogests did a biopsy in my Themeral artery of both eyes and put me onto very strong Steroids. Three Days later I woke With No sight at all in my Right Eye and my Left Eye I have lost over 90% . They thought that I had Gaint Sinitiritur But it couldn't be Proven either way. I was descharged from hospital around 10 Days later. But the next day I thought that I was Dying. The Pain in my Lumber Spine and Left Hip was unbearable. I Pain was so Bed that I even Lost Bladder Control. I was Re-admitted Tests done and multiple MRI's over the next 5 days . A culture was grown proving that I had contracted Serraita Marcescens. and The MRI's started showing an abscess on my lumber Spine L 4-5 to S-1 Including my Left Hip The Abscess ended up Over 60cm in Diameter . The Serratia culture was 489 I don't know what it means but I doctors told me that it was an extremely high Infection. I am still taking antibotics and they say I will have to for Life, But the Worst thing is that they have now told me that The Infection is now eating my Spine Away. I can't take more than 1 to 2 Steps Before the PAIN Takes Over So Bad that I Just Scream and I know that it is only going to get worse as it continues to eat my Spine. I have to be in a Wheel Chair now if I have to leave home, So I as you will understand /i only go out to my hospital appointments and apart from that very rarely. The worst part about it is that I got this infection in Theatre Plus a Blood infection and Golden Staph. There are so many more things, But this Serratia Marcescens is the worst thing that I could ever imagine. Going Blind 2years & 10months ago was hard enough to take and accept & I also developed Narcolepsy At the same time which puts me into Coma's Usually from 1 to 3 Days in duration. Just to let you know a little of my Prior History = I have a Peritinial Shunt with Three Revisions = A Peek Cage at C 3-4 to 6-7 and multiple Other Serious Conditions. But the Thing That I am Begging for Your Help With this Horrible Infection Which Is Eating My Spine Away, This Time it was the Same as when it Started nearly 3 years and I Went Blind and All I was told was Sorry Your Blind and Your Sight Won't Come Back. Please Do You Know Any Way To Stop or Kill This Horrid Infection. Thank You Very Much. My Sincere Regards ; Denyse M HITE
