Facial cellulitis
Leave it to me to get the weird things!  This is the second time in a mont that I have been "blessed" with this strange ailment!  The last day of antibiotics (shot) last time was March 18th.  I had started with Augmentin and that didn't work.  They gave me a good shot of rochepin (a peanut butter shot) and that seemed to make a big difference quickly.  I went back and got another, after the second I noticed remarkable improvement.  I was SO excited!  Then on Monday it started foming back.  So it lasted two weeks.  The next week we just did Rocephin shots.  OUCH!  I went round and round with the insurance company about an IV versus shots.  The doctor recommended the IV because it would be less pain. I opted for the shot when I realized that the ER visit for 5 days would be about $400-500 a day.  OUCH.  So I got 5 rocephin shots that week.  It was so much better by that Friday (18).  YEAH!  Fast forward to this past week.  I was having similar pain and wrote it off as a sin...
