Health

God is good. He continues to provide what I need. I am reminded that I need to have faith in Him and Him alone.
I would have to say overall I have felt good, but have continued to pray for wisdom in regard to my health.

I have had a persistent low grade fever for the past month. Not sure why? Neither is my doctor. My sinus cavities in my cheeks feel swollen at times, but my nasal cavity looks fine. The xray they took revealed nothing. The urine samples, normal. The blood work normal. So the dr put me on a sulfa based antibiotic drug for 30 days.

Yesterday, 11 days in, a terrible rash broke out over my entire body. And my low grade fever moved from 99.4 to 99.6-100.2. The rash is from the sulfa drugs, I am now allergic. The fever???? I did another urine sample, my numbers are no longer negative. So we have switched me to Cipro 250 mg twice a day.

I am praying this drug will work and kill any infection that may be lurking in my body. My doctor told me to call back in two weeks to report how I am feeling. If I am still feeling bad and battling the low grade fever, I think the next stop in an infectious disease doctor. Nothing about that visit sounds fun!
