Had a 6 mo. checkup with my primary care physician yesterday and after many questions, he determined that I did not have HSV nor Shingles, but rather a bacterial infection of the skin. How did I get this? We had stayed at a very nice winery with a huge bubble tub. It was very, very clean, quite new. But in the jets of the tub lay germs that my compromised immune system can't handle. My doctor said although my case was bad enough, it could have been a whole lot worse!! I was really rather lucky.
I am checking with my rhuematologist now to see if I can go off the medicine he felt I should stay on for maintence for the next several months.
