Q: 

Have a sinus infection, went to the dr. and he gave me Ceftin, and now everyone thinks I look like I'm dying

A: HEALING TAKES TIME. Sinus infection is a nasty illness and takes time to heal. If you do not clean out your sinuses you will get an infection soon again. Antibiotics are fine if you also take Acidophilus. Antibiotics kills the bad bacteria causing the infection and the good bacteria in your guts necessary for your immune system and digestion. Kefir a super food is excellent too. Test your self after the antibiotic if you have a yeast infection (See source.) I just worked with a friend doing EFT and a lot of stuff is being eliminating…sometimes there are underlying causes and yes he had dental work done too. He is on Oil of Oregano and essential oils to battle the infection. He uses cayenne...


Q: 

bed sores and future falls..

A: Hi Nimi, Your poor mother has a progressive and incurable dementia - which means that she will continue to deteriorate no matter how well you look after her. Her brain is being dismantled by this terrible disease - which means not just a mental decline, but a gradual loss of her depth perception, her sense of balance, her coordination and muscular control, and her reaction time.

Q: 

sores much like blood blisters, but.not

A: Try looking up pressure ulcers. If the images match, then go to G.P. for antibiotic cream. Good luck Antibiotic cream wont help pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcers occur from ''shearing'', normally bed ridden individuals get them on ankles, feet from constantly pushing up and down to adjust bed rest. Pressure ulcers can progress to destroying all layers of skin to the bone and are extremely difficult to heal. I dont think OP has pressure ulcers. I find it difficult to believe a dermatologist could not diagnose this ''sore''. If they cant, then they would give allergy tests to determine what it is. Without seeing it, difficult to place it in...
