How I Battled With A Deadly Skin Infection After Giving Birth.

My ordeal began three years ago, after giving birth to my son in a fancy Kisumu city hospital in western Kenya. I had heard stories about being send home with designer gift bags. Well, I didn’t get a bag. Instead, I left with a bug: a skin infection to be exact. An acronym for methicillin-resistant staphylococcus auras, this type of traph is bacteria we all have on our skin that has learned to outsmart standard antibiotics and sometimes fatal infections. While its common in hospitals, it also lurks in gyms, schools and other public areas.

Of course, I dint realize I had the superbug until nearly a month later, When I was suffering through my third bout of mastitis-a breast  infection that women at times get while nursing. When I called my obstetrician, rather than prescribe an antibiotic, she told me to get to the hospital. Apparently, there had been an outbreak of a skin infection in the nursery when I delivered. I needed to have a culture taken, and so did my son. When the tests came back positive, I was worried for our health, but also outraged. As a chronic Leukemia patient, I had to stop taking the medication that keeps me in the remission, when I became pregnant. Because of that I took extra precautions-seeing a high risk obstetrician, having my cancer levels checked monthly, and even springing for a private hospital room. After risking my life to ensure a healthy pregnancy, I was then invaded by a germiest germ of all.
I learned of the infection a few months ago when I heard some community health workers volunteers talk about its outbreak in our locality Milimani in the outskirts of Kisumu city, the most common and most dangerous skin infection does occur in hospitals, where bacteria preys on compromised immune system and open wounds. And also it does spread when you come in contact with an affected person. The infection takes hold when they get into the body through cuts, Scrapes, and other areas of damaged skin. In my case my son was colonized that’s superbug-speak for carrying bacteria on the skin, in the hospital, and he passed it to me through cracked skin during breast feeding. My new born child started erupting with boils. I was racking up co-pays by hundreds. But little did I know. The pain and frustrations was only just beginning. It became tougher and tougher, I had boils everywhere on the body, associated with itching skin that was full of rashes all over, the painful thing is that my new born child exhibited the same symptoms I had, and it was in pain too that kept it crying day and night. I decided to go to the hospital for treatment and after my own diagnosis, the doctor prescribed useless antibiotic that brought no change in my body, I felt shame when I looked myself the mirror, I hated on myself because I had boils all over, I could not walk around during the day nor go to work because I felt embarrassed with the kind of the boils I had on my face and all over my skin.
“One thing that makes various skin infections so relentless is that, unless you know what you are dealing with, it’s hard to treat”. The doctor said as he continued to say that most doctors often don’t diagnose it properly, he added that the doctors prescribe a wrong drug, the annoying thing is that he too never healed me from the infection, after months of suffering A longtime colleague visited to check on me, she had noticed I did not resume work after Maternity leave, she saw my condition and she was really sorry, I explained to her how I had visited very many hospitals with no cure,  That’s when she told me about kiwanga doctors herbal doctors who treat a wide range of diseases, skin infections being one of it, we visited their website www.kiwangadoctors.com we saw very many people having admitted to have been treated off various skin infections, that alone gave me the morale, I booked an appointment with the doctor and met him the same day at 4pm, I was diagnosed and prescribed herbal medication and allowed to go home, three days thereafter, I was feeling well, boils had gone off from my skin, my son too had been cured.
