My Life as a Shut-In.

Long before the Corvid-19 virus struck the US, I had my own personal set of disasters.

First, I was exhausted and tried to get FMLA through my job. Unfortunately, this was the beginning of the end for me. I am getting better, but it's hard.

I was hoping for FMLA, bu the doctprs decided my health was too bad to sign the paperwork that would have give me the time off with income so I could go to doctor's visits. Instead, they forced on me two drugs that nearly killed me that they were infotmed beforehand that I was allergic to.  When he saw it was clearly going to give me a stroke, said he was going to give it to me anyway, and he closed his office,and moved to another state.

The first thing was, I had a stroke. i was 48, and I had a stroke. That was May of 2017.

lt got worse from there, though I don't know all the details. I remember a year, I think, of swimming through life in a dream-state. My memories of that time are confused, at best. I don't know what I would have done without my husband and our  friend, I probably would have died without them.

The next phase was a growth on my legscaused by blisters diuretic the doctor gave me that did not wok. 

Then I was attacked by bot-flies.

It got worse.

3 doctors decided I had necrotic fasciitis and gave me antibiotics for the fungal infection, which spread like wildfire.

Eventually, we drove Out West to look for drier climate and new solutions.

It was a particularly wet winter.

When we returned, we found the Anti-fungal wonder drug, potassium permanganate. I think it has helped, but it's still painful, On the otherhand, I think it has a pleasnt artificial berry smell.  That's just how it smells naturally.
