Thank you very much for your reply. To be honest I have never heard of anything like this either. My doctor informed me that he has only seen one other case in 15 years similar to mine. I guess that is why it has been so hard to diagnose..
As far as my symptoms, they came right after I came down with a bad cold (I thought) which I caught from my 2 year old. Either then or right after going to the doctor because I could not seem to shake the cold I had. The doctor prescribed Biaxin, incase I was suffering from a sinus infection.
About 2 days after, I started having trouble with my mouth...First a white coating on my tounge, severe dryness, then I noticed having raised blisters on my toungue. I also noticed that my tounge was starting to swell and burn. I thought I had thrush, or maybe an allergic reaction, but after 4 weeks of taking nystatin etc. it was pretty obvious that was not what it was.
After tests last week my doctor informed me that he found a very unusual staph bacteria from my culture...He is treating me right now with Levaquin, if this does not work he is going to send me to an ENT doctor.
I am becoming concerned after a month an a half of having these symptoms. That is why I posted my condition on here in hopes that someone might have heard of this.
Again thank you for your response,
Aymee
