[QUOTE="Dr Snoddy, post: 2395785, member: 112460"] Can you ask if they have tested to see if you have an antibiotic resistant form of Proteus? Also, there is one species of Proteus that does not respond to common antibiotics and which colonises immunocompromised individuals. Therefore I hope that your clinics have identified to species level. I hope you have been given the appropriate advice about reducing blood glucose levels, exposing your bare foot to fresh air and sunlight as much as possible etc. Life must be really challenging at the moment and I sympathesise. Is seeing a different podiatrist an option even if privately? It really doesn't sound as though your treatment is being prioritised and I can appreciate your need to left off steam! [/QUOTE]
