Osteomyelitis is an infection of the bone. It can be bacterial or parasitic in nature. Ultimately the infection leads to necrosis or death of the bone. I have had a variety of medical and holistic treatments for osteomyelitis of the jaw including 9 surgical debridements with bone biopsies verifying chronic osteomyelitis. Please see my history for more info.

Monday 2-7-2011 7 days without antibiotics. Still taking meds for reflux, but my stomach feels so much better, Also since going off the antibiotics, my face has gradually been swelling again. The average person wasn't able to see it, but between 3 and 4 today, the facial swelling on the right side doubled in size. The whole right side of my head feels swollen. The left side of my face looks swollen too, but doesn't feel nearly as bad as the right. Have another week before I see the ID doctor. Not sure that I will or can wait that long.. May try to see him tomorrow or see my general practitioner and ask for his opinion..I should look like a white oompa loompa by then...I feel like I am morphing!!
