I Am Not Feeling The Best Right Now

Due to the Investigational study cream I was trying out that was from a place that pays for you to try and be a Test study, I ended up getting a Case of Celulitis, and my legs are even being a little wet due to it. It has also been making my legs hurt too. (The Cream was for Diabetic Neuropathy, and they said I was the first one they have ever had who is allergic to it.)
Also on top of this I ended up getting a Cold and slight touch of Bronchitis, so I have been sleeping a lot. So I have been feeling Miserable, and sleeping a lot. I even left work a half hr. early each day just to come home and sleep.
I am on an Antibiotic, and hope this will help the Celulitis, etc. But I have learned my lesson to not try anything New period on my legs or feet, unless it is proven to be safe from Celulitis, etc.
But if you do not see as much posting from me in the next couple of days, you will know it is because I am not feeling well.

Well, you can guarantee from now on, I will never use another Cream of any sort on my feet or legs, unless I can first use a very small amount somehow for Free and make sure that I will not Break out. This was definately a learning experience I will Never repeat.

owie
I hope you heal quickly - I have had cellulites of the legs and know how horribly painful it can be - especially if standing up in one spot. Take it easy and try to keep them elevated so that the blood does not pool. I am surprised you did not get a doctor's excuse from working for a few days.

Well, due to this happening from an Investigational Study where they pay you, if this would not have started getting better, and I would have had to take any time off, I am not sure how I would have reacted. It hurts just as much if you sit for the 8 hrs. while I am at work too. But I think it is getting better so that is Good.

I am sorry that things didn't work out with that study. I hope they are covering your medical expenses due to you having a reaction to thier test cream. I hope you feel better soon and I don't blame you for not wanting to try something like that again.

I'm sorry to hear your not feeling well. I have thought about this situation with the cream and it seems to me before these testing places send something home with a test person that they would do a patch test or something to see how they would react.
I will be keeping you in my prayers dear I can only imagine what you are going through right now.

Krausehome, I am so sorry to hear you are still feeling sick. I hope you recover very soon and that the celulitis clears up. Those unintended consequences are the reason that I would be afraid to be part of a study group. I hope the antibiotic gets you back on your feet really soon and feeling better than before.

I am sorry you are doing poorly, and glad you sought treatment quickly, as that cellulitis is a nasty thing to fight against. I have taken care of people with it, before. Sleep is very healing, so here is wishing you blessed, healing sleep to fight this infection. Sleep well, get better.

oooh, please feel better soon, and be careful when testing stuff out. i've never done anything like that before, of course i have thought about it, but am scared. i have sensitive skin, and am not as healthy as i should be, so i am scared to do a test of products for money. but sometimes they can pay well eh? well please get better, hang in there!

I would be sure to tell the company of this and stop using it. No amount of money is worth ruining your health or body for. You can replace your legs if you ruin them...I will pray you find relief from you new inconvenience and tell the company that the cream is causing adverse reactions..they should pay you for this discovery as if it does this to you; surely it will do it to someone else;)+
