Well despite me wanting to write I am well. I am not!
All I am saying right now is this - Perichondritis - chondriditis (sp?)
Pseudomunas aeruginosa (sp?)
- commonly caused by cross infections in hospital medical equipment
I feel ill and am battling with doctor (although to cut a long story short no GP appointment and nurse saw me no GP available) Has given me inappropriate antibiotics. She has no idea what I have but I have had this before.
As usual with ehlers danlos and even minor surgery nothing is ever simple. I pleaded for antibiotics prior to surgery. They should have listened! hindsight eh Steph if you are reading this.
As usual its now the weekend and I am trying to stay out of hospital. The friggin cartilage is infected now - I tried to say.
I am pissed off with a great big P.

Crap! Dumbarse doctors. Will now cross every body part I have to ensure you don't go into hospital. I am also willing you to feel better as quickly as possible. Hopefully my magnificent spoon bending mind powers will do the trick. Big (but soft) Hugs xxxx
Hmmmph - is there any Aussie-related vibes we can beam up your way to help things or at the very least, give the stupid doctors' an unpleasant itch where the sun don't shine?
Thank you both for kicking virtual arse on my behalf. Have accessed the positivity button in my brain having spent the night cuddling the kitten whose regular purring had a soporiphic effect. So decided that I will through sheer bloody mindeness and Rusty Hoe's spoon bending mind powers be well. Poste Haste Please.
xoxoxo
Awwww. So sorry o read his. It makes me so cross when I hear that doctors don't listen.Hope the antibiotics kick in soon and you are leaping about all over the place again!
Blimmin typos... should read "so sorry to read this"!!!!
Oh, Achelois! I'm so sorry to read of this.
Chondritis is the right word. Perichondritis is the precursor to chondritis.
The most important thing here is that you get the correct antibiotic treatment to avoid further complications.
I'm presuming that you got the diagnosis of chrondritis, plus culture of bacteria, at an ENT check-up at the hospital?
With your previous history of mastoiditis and now, chondritis, you cannot afford to be on the wrong antibiotic.
If your ear is not responding to the antibiotics supplied by GP surgery, you should present yourself at A&E (at hospital where you had the procedure carried out) and demand to be seen by the ENT senior registrar (on-call for w/e). You could also try requesting a CT scan to find out the extent of the infection.
It may be that IV treatment will be recommended and if so, don't fight it. Go with the flow.
I totally understand you being pissed off. I would be too but don't let that stop you doing what needs to be done. It's better to be safe than sorry.
Fingers crossed for you. S x
im sorry your going through this right now achelois. really unpleasant stuff. hope the anti bs work soon for you. xxxx
Oh honey. How are you feeling now?
Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear this. Bloody hospitals leave you worse than when you went it. Hope your weekend was ok and you're feeling a bit better now.
Really sorry to hear this, hope you're feeling a bit better by now? BG Xx
This makes me bloody mad for you. I hate to see needless suffering and yes it is NEEDLESS.
A doctor that listens to his patients is *bliss* but those states are far and few between.
HUGS...and next time, demand what you need.
