this may not be for this board but, i have read several post here and am hoping you all can help. i had staph abcess surgery( non mrsa) in nov 04 i was on 81 days of antibiotics. keflex@2000mg ed for 28 days,augmenton@4000mg ed for 15 days,quinolone@500mg ed for 15days,unicyn iv drip@2 gram for 5 days, i just finished rosephen(sp)@2 gram for 8 days iv drip, and vancomycin @ 1.75gram for 10 days iv drip....both the vanco and rosephen were delivered via picc line to the superior vena clava.....

i have just discovered a small leasion on my chest this morning, i think it has come back. i fear that my imune system is killed from all of the antibiotics.....i am hiv neg. i have taken gear for some time, as of the last 6 months i have been off all gear.....how can i blast my imune system or is there even a way......thank you for your time, and wisdom

..Sorry to hear about your illness. I hope everything turns out okay for you soon. I can't offer you any advise as to what to take to boost the immune system.
Talk to your Doctor .....Good Luck.

Hey I agree with bb, but since you cant afford it go to your local health clinic with your records and get help. the types of anibiotics you have been on I am familiar with. I do a lot of reading. anyway they can really screw up your immune system, but your body knows how to heal also. One thing to remember is TOTAL NUTRITION. Put back protein,carbs, the works lots of water will flush your liver and kidneys. I mean at least 64 onz. a day. Supplements. Vitamin C and E and alpha lipoic acid. A good multivitamin but all this you take with food. Vitamin C and E 3 times a day at least 1,000 to 1,500mg. These will not kill you. Basically Antibiotics strip your body of alot including the good bacteria in your digestive tract. Get a Good Acidopholous at local drug store, 2 times a day with a meal each time. Flax seed and or fish oil -refrigerated type is best- or check labels for experations and put and keep in frig. a plus because we all know it works in a thousand ways.The apperance of strange lesions etc. are due to your bodies lack of a good number of micronutients it needs back. Lack of C will cause for example lesions in your mouth. Get rest eat good food and avoid stress. Micronutients have been proven over and over in HIV people to save their lives from a lot of critical damage that hiv causes. Your system is compromised that is all but you need to feed it. And by All means see a health clinic. There are lots of things that can go wrong when the body is stripped like that so you need someone to be keeping a tab on you. Not to scare you. I am not a Doctor just a very well educated person in the hiv world and helping the body fight back by giving it what it needs. Same with Cancer patients, etc etc. The body is an oiled machine and when stuff is missing you see the effects. Good luck .....

Good morning. If and when you get medical insurance, I would get a CD$ test to find out about your immune system. This test is usually done for PWA's but would be usefull in your case. Good luck, Alan.
