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.

Almost 3 weeks out since the debridement, still on IV Penicillin G 3,000,000 units using the Eclipse ball. The swelling in my face seems to be going down. My face still feels "different" on the right, but not as bad. I still get occasional pains in my head above my ear, in my right cheek bone and right maxilla, but it is also much better. My right lower jaw continues to feel weird. When I eat the gums/bone, something swells and is uncomfortable. I have a dentist appt next Monday to address these problems. Hope they are easily resolved and with ongoing IV therapy everything else goes away too!! All prayers still appreciated :)
