I do see a Cardiologist too. Abnormal ECG, tricuspid and mitral valve regurgitation, but not concerning for now-annual monitoring is all. I am a 39 year old born female sex. My brother had his first stroke at 44, my dad died at 53 from cardiac arrest (had congestive heart failure)-and his dad and grandpa died even younger than he of cardiac arrest. Lots of dementia and stroke and blood pressure stuff on mama’s side. Keep in mind, there are a lot of details I haven’t mentioned, so make sure and dig deep when researching! 🤗 Happy to answer any questions too of course!

Wow! I'm terribly sorry you are going through SO MUCH! And with a family history like yours, it must make it even more scary. My neurologist suggested I go to Mayo again and I'm seriously thinking about it but will likely wait until another shoe drops. I no longer believe I had a herpes infection. Whatever the virus was could have triggered ocular herpes because I have had that before and it kept going from one eye to the other while on Valtrex. I went to a special eye clinic with the University of California and even they couldn't figure it out. By the time they did a biopsy, I tested negative for all the common eye viruses. The rash I developed on my legs showed red spots that have now turned brown. Typically, especially on my face, I noticed there's a pattern where you see a group of 3 tiny flesh colored bumps with many having a black center. Not pimples and a lot smaller than those too. Now some on. my chin got infected and those leave a large gaping hole/pore. In my mouth I had ulcers everywhere including the back of my throat. They didn't hurt at all, actually nothing hurt. But I got 7 gum line cavities with significant holes. I had had my teeth just cleaned about 3 months ago. Every single break in my skin now gets inflammed/infected for which I'm using Mupirocin. Several months ago I had a sore in my nose caused by MRSA and that started up again. I also got a staph infection on a previous cut just like you. I'm seeing my immunologist on Monday because this has just been way too much. Even though my IgG is low it is not 2 times below normal and is considered as hypogammaglobulinemia However I also have subclass deficiency 1 & 2, low IgM and T cell issues. Probably killer cell deficiency as well and likely the basis for herpes in eyes. I would love to follow your journey as well. The dizziness has become better and what I'm still seeing is likely just my normal orthostatic hypotension
