Samonella

Salmonella

I am much better at this point. My doctor told me that this is one of the less harmful salmonella germs (compared to typhoid) but I thought I was going to die. I was first admitted to one hospital for severe dehydration, kidney insufficiency, and acute gastroenteritis. This hospital did the necessary cultures and I was released after about 24-hours of intense hydration therapy. This hospital never contacted me, my doctor, or the health department about the results of the test. My doctor finally got the test results after I was admitted to a second hospital for a possible GI bleed. The first hospital had the results of the culture about 3 weeks before my doctor found out about it. He then contacted a specialist in infectious disease and was told that I should be put on a course of sulfa. The only dietary restrictions I have is no diary products for another week. I think I would not have had such a hard time if I had been informed of the culture when it came back positive for salmonella. I have lost a total of 4 weeks of work over this thing and you are right it is not fun! Thanks for your concern!

Glad to hear you're on the mend =) Sulfa is what they had me on for the salmonella I had, it works nice and fast =) I too was told not to have dairy products, which sucked... I live off dairy... literally, its nothing for me to go a week with only milk, no food LOL. Must be a Bastetan thing *giggles* (Bastetan, since no one ever knows what it is, is the religious following of Bast, the Egyptian Goddess of cats, nature, love, and women)
