@towser I am so sorry for the both of you. That’s a lot of suffering. We are all in the same boat it seems. 🙁 I was awake most of the night, half worried and half symptomatic. My hip hurts, but the worst part is my aorta now has an aneurism and I am waiting to see how bad it’s getting, the CT scan is still 3 weeks away. I have no family history of it at all. I fear it was caused by the low grade infection in my hip. I already had heart surgery and I feel it’s infection moving to the valves. I think I’m a dead man. I can’t get help.
I was perfectly fine taking amoxicillin daily, and 28 days after I stopped it, I again became a cripple. And now my aorta. And the radiologist report says my pelvis has fractures healing. How the hell is my pelvis fractured! Except the infection is weakening the bone.
I don’t think I survive this, because the doctors and the system are rigid in their approach and my case is non standard. People like me, we just die. And they hand around my autopsy report to satisfy their curiosity.
