Was diagnosed with staph in the crack of my behind in May of 2013. It cleared up with Ampicillin and Clindimycin. Back in August I started feeling the same pain. Called my gyn/ob and he prescribed Bactrim over the phone. No better a week later so I went in and he said no, it was definitely not healed so changed to Ampicillin and did a scraping. It came back pseudomonas, no staph. Then he prescribed Levaquin. Went to my regular doctor in September for 3 month checkup and mentioned all that had happened and all my symptoms and he said he thought I was getting over having shingles and prescribed Val.... (can t remember how to spell it.) Well, here it is November and I m still hurting, burning, sore, hot. Sometimes I don t think I can stand it anymore. Do you have any ideas for me? (I am supposedly allergic to sulfa drugs and didn t realize Bactrim was a sulfa drug.)
