I got really sick about 6 years ago. Thought I had strep throat. Couldn't swallow, my throat itself swelled significantly, and at one point, I had to manually lift my head off the pillow. I know something was very very wrong. I went to several doctors, even my own gp, and it wasn't until I walked myself back to my dr at my wits end, did they realise what I had, invasive g.a.s. I was green lit and told that I was dying and that I needed emergency surgery immediately. The infection had spread to my lymph nodes. Thankful for my surgeon and for their swiftness.
Same thing happened to me when I was 18. I had Toxic shock from Group A strep throat. I was prescribed the Z pack antibiotic but it was not effective. About a week after finishing the antibiotic I had SEVERE stomach pain luckily my mom called an ambulance I ended up having emergency surgery the surgeon removed 2 liters of poison from my stomach, I had a heart attack (myocarditis) kidney failure and pneumonia after the surgery. I lost all the skin on my hands and feet, the skin completely peeled off while I was in the icu. My heart function dropped to 5 percent during surgery but I made a full recovery. My case was very rare and it is documented in several infectious disease case study books. 🙏
And now there going to a high line at emergency room
It’s on the rise again on Long Island I just got diagnosed with invasive strept a virus and it almost killed me three days after getting it
RIP sarit

Your grandma a liar
What makes one strep(ie in yogurt) friendly while another an enemy?

Here, observe what "coronavirus" is.
I'm serious.
is it just the marginalized is there a disease that can tell? or are you cultivating worse strains by marginalizing
Many reasons i'm sure. But no one dares to point at the elephant! Imigration is the cause of a rise in these disease! They come from countrys were hospitals isn't so good, and hygiene is bad!
What? What the f is wrong with you?
of course it is our government have opened us up to diseases we have not seen for a long long time
