Saw the doctor's PA yesterdayafternoon. Am feeling better tonight.

Hi Hatley, after replying the discussion about your sore leg with rash I then visit your profile straight away to see if there is any new discussion about your latest situation. I feel relieved after reading this discussion. I'm glad to learn that after taking the first dose and having a proper rest, you are feeling better and fine now. I believe you leg won't be sore anymore after finished taking the complete treatment. God bless you

hello hatley! we are all happy for you. You are a very strong and independent woman and i admire you for it. I hope that when i am your age i will be a strong person as you are. I wish you continued good health and many happy mylotting to come... God bless you.

Hi Hately, I feel relieved as well as happy to know that you feel better and taking medicines. You just start the medicine and you felt better and it is a good sign. Take medicine properly and rest too. Please follow the instructions of your doctor. Recover fast, we all are with you.

I'm so glad to hear that you're on the road to recovery, Hatley! I know how scary it can be before you see a doctor over things like this, so I'm happy to know that you've seen the doctor and are now on antibiotics. I'm also on antiobiotic pills and ointment. Talk about coincidence! Seems the two toes of mine next to the big toes have/had ingrown nails and had begun getting infected, so I saw a podiatrist last week who operated on one toe while the other has to wait because it is infected. I've been on the antibiotics since last Thursday and the ointment since last Saturday, when the one toe was operated on. I'm going back in a little over a week to have the other toe done. I'm also happy to know that you don't need any surgical intervention. I've heard of infections like yours having to be lanced because they got so bad so, evidently, you got to the doctor before it got THAT bad. From what I understand about antibiotics, they take 24 hours to really begin working so you should be feeling quite a bit better later today.

I am pleased to hear from you Hatley as you’ve been in my thoughts and prayers. Aren’t antibiotics the moist wonderful medication? I had an infected knee last month which came from a small razor cut and if it wasn’t for a course of strong antibiotics I would have been in real l trouble! I am relieved to hear you are feeling better...

Hi Hatley, I'm glad the treatment takes efect and you already feel better. Please follow the treatment for how long your doctor says to, don't interrupt it because you feel better. You can't play with those infections, you know? I hope you won't need to be sent to the ER and soon you'll come to tell us you're ok. Get well soon, Hatley!

Hi Hatley, I am so glad to hear this! I just want you to know that I saw your first discussion and I didn't respond because to be honest, I didn't know what to say. It really didn't sound good at all. I did pray for you and you were in my thoughts. This is just such a relief to hear.

Sorry to hear that it is indeed infected. But I'm glad you got in and you are doing well thus far with meds. But do as the nurse said if you don't feel well go to the ER... as infections can be dangerous as you already know for diabetics in their legs and feet. And I know that's a chance I wouldn't want to take either BTW... have you considered chewing them out for not following up on why you didn't get your referral? They should of gotten the notice back return to sender and should of called you to verify info and perhaps fax the referral to the Dr you were being referred to. I dunno that urks me with your diabetes that things can get bad easily. Take care of yourself Hatley!

That's what cellulitis is, Patsy. An infection of the skin. I'm so glad you got in to the doctor. Don't miss your doses. If she knows her stuff, your leg will clear up and look great. Thank you for letting us know!!!

Glad to hear that you went to the Dr. Hope that you feel better soon and can resume your sun shining personality.

I am so glad to know that you're feeling better after seeing the dermatologist! I hope you continue to get better, too! I guess it helped you to eat something, didn't it? Speaking of antibiotics, I've really had a time with urinary tract infections here lately and I had a time getting adjusted to my antibiotics. There were so many that I had allergic reactions to. I've been better here lately. I still seem to have a painful bladder at times. I'm going to a urologist in Birmingham in a couple of weeks to see why I keep having so many infections. I just hope I can get straightened out.

I am soooo proud you got to the dr. :) YOu might feel a bit sick at times on those anti biotics but always tell the dr or nurse so they can assess the problems. I will do my own happy dance for you tonight !!! I do have a bit of good news for you bout me.....I am not diabetic !! the tests said so today !!! I am being very careful tho as the numbers are fairly high. the dr. said that most open heart patients do show border line diabetes after that kind of surgery but I'm doing great ! NOw, you take care of you and if I were there, I'd come and tend to you myself. I'd love to do that :)) Hang in there sweetie!!! hugs, quita

Oh Hatley, you are mylot's star at the moment, every one worried about your condition especially when you when silent for a day (that was when you went for your doctor appointment). I'm sure every one can give that much needed sigh of relief when they see this discussion of yours. I can't help but be apprehensive myself. Take care always.

Oh hatley I am so glad to read your post as I saw the discussion yesterday and I was worried and began to pray as I did not know the extent of your illness. I will continue to pray and wish you the best to full and speedy recovery. I saw some of your posts earlier and I did not dare display and or comment asking if you were okay, so I am really happy to read this discussion that you are feeling somewhat better. God Bless.

What are the latest updates on this? Has the Antibiotic been helping it? Being diabetic can be quite an interesting and frustrating thing, but hoping things are improving.

I wish I could take away your pain my friend...I know it must be bad because ordinarily you would not complain. I'm hoping you are ok because this post is a week old with no responses from you as yet and that is uncommon. Hope your birthday on Monday is just wonderful and that your wishes come true. Hugs dear one.

Hatley dear, I want you to know that I've been watching you!! Ever since your first discussion about this, I've kept an eye on you because I've been really concerned! Please sweetie, take better care of yourself! Being a diabetic makes it all the more important to keep up with what's going on with your body and getting to the doctor as soon as possible when something goes wrong even if it's the emergency room. I hope by now you're feeling a lot better! Sorry I'm a little late in responding but I've been so darned busy lately. Hope you understand. Hugs!!

Way to go Hatley! Great to hear you went to the doctor and are on antibotics now! Glad to hear you are feeling better! Keep it up! You know you are loved here on Mylot!

Hi Hatley Oh my goodness!! sweetie, I will pray for you before I go tomorrow to night and when I have my morning coffee. Please keep us posted. God Bless you my dear sweet friend. Snow

It is very good that you have got relief from your leg infection. There are some disease which are not curable with our antibiotics. You should take the antibiotics time to time as prescribed by the Doctor to feel more better.
