I just found something interesting!

Hi Chevee! I hope that site has helped you. It only proved to me that we can't stop with just one site when researching anything because there just might be some better or more in-depth information on the very next page.

What was that old TV show? The one where there was one REAL person and two false ones pretending... uhh... it was way back in the 60's or somewhere near there. I should ask GoAskAlice. Uhh, hey, AliceAlex, what was that show? Was it What's My Line? We need to do that show again to see who the REAL imposter is!

Brat - did you steal them?

nice poker face there....

My husband probably took them down to the laundry room with my missing blouse. I'll go check and let you know.

what i meant was big hugs to you, from bon

If you have a question about myLot that you cannot find the answer to in the FAQs section, you can ask 'GoAskAlice' in a PM. GoAskAlice in myLot is administration. This other site I found is completely different but uses the same name.

HEY! GoAskAlice has responded below so you can find out for yourself who "she" is!

Hi AP! Well, yesterday I wasn't much good but I'm a bit better today. This thing is the strangest infection I've ever had and, believe me, I've had plenty! Just not staph before. My fever keeps coming down and going back up but at least, when it goes up, it's never as far up as it was the previous time. Today, it's only about one degree above normal. I see the doc on Friday and I'm REALLY hoping that this darned thing is gone by then! I am NOT a good patient!

Yeah, most likely. I'll chalk it up to this stupid fever that refuses to go away and is making me delirious.

Hi Opal! I have learned that this is a different Alice. I had a feeling it might be because it didn't make much sense to have a medical expert have one site who is moonlighting on myLot. It would be a sad day if I found out that an expert in the medical field isn't making enough money and has to moonlight. Still, it's ironic that both "Alices" have a lot of answers that we all need occasionally.

Hi harmonee. Yep, it sure is cool. I love finding out just how small our world is. Unfortunately, I was looking up staph infections because I was diagnosed with one last week (and still have it, although it's finally getting better). I was trying to find out what other kinds of antibiotics could be used to treat this type since the ones I was on were making me quite sick themselves. I spoke to the doctor about them and was told simply to stop taking them for 24 hours then resume them again and also start taking probiotic supplements. I couldn't understand what they would do to help with the nausea I had from the medication, though, so I was looking that up. (I didn't find that anywhere so I believe this doctor doesn't know what she's doing.) Luckily, I finally talked the doc into putting me on a different kind of antibiotic. This one is not making me sick and is bringing my fever down so, hopefully, I'll be over this very soon. Staph infections are nasty!

Yeah, it makes sense to me... now. I've been sick with a staph infection and fever that just will NOT go away so I'll blame my mental fart on that.

Hello dear rambansal! I agree that the best advise is always to see a doctor if other means cannot correct a problem. Regarding this staph infection I have, everything I've read on the subject tells me to see a doctor immediately. The fact that this happened so quickly and produced a fever in me four degrees above normal told me that I really do need antibiotics, although I am also using homeopathic methods alongside the medical treatments to get this out of my body as quickly as possible. I have had serious infections before in my life that almost killed me before I had medical intervention, such as blood poisoning, peritonitis and intestinal infections. I fully believe in the power of holistic and homeopathic healing but, as far as my own body goes, I almost always seem to need a bit more. Actually, one reason I moved to this house is because of the naturally calming atmosphere. I even practice feng shui in my house and landscaping outside. I know that helps but it is just not enough where my stupid body is concerned.
