Growing with dipshits aka 1000 ways to die, this is one of them. ALWAYS HAVE PROPER VENTILATION.

You're a doctor ?

I didn't say all doctors suck.. I just seem to get bad luck in the doctors I see. I've seen two so far... The first one prescribed me amoxicillin, which you might know does jack shit against fungal infections, and he refused to really even listen to me. The second one prescribed me Ketoconazole, which from my research isn't very effective against aspergillus niger, and it hasn't really helped much.

Sorry, but I'm going to go into my symptoms.

It started off with a rash in my armpit, which seemed to infect the lymph node. It got big and swollen, I had a fever and it even hurt to raise my arm too much. I treated it with vitamin E oil and it seemed to clear up.

Then I started to come down with what I thought at the time was psorias. My scalp got itchy, burning and flaky.

Those were the only symptoms until fatigue and general weakness/pain started to set in. I've always had a pain in my back and it got worse. Having crohns I assumed it might be an automimmune like psoriatic arthritis appearing.

I started to get stomach pains (which have actually cleared up) and was losing a lot of blood in my stool. I got very anemic on top of the fatigue. Still assumed it to be a bad crohns flare up.

In this period I noticed wounds not healing or even getting worse. It seemed that past wounds were also affected. I also had swelling of the joints and unexplained joint pain.

This turned into a scaly/flaky/burning rash. Headache was also common with the fatigue still present. The rash seemed to move.

This turned into what I assumed were blood clots. I have never had a blood clot but knew some of the symptoms because my grandpa deals with them and Deep vein thrombosis. One day my leg looked like his and I had gout like symptoms.

My scalp got worse... Everything got worse. It appears as if tiny blood clots have inhabited my veins, some areas even have bigger lumps.

I'm afraid of necrosis and it almsot seems it might set in before I treat it with essential oils. Don't knock the EOs, I think they've been truly helpful especially topically. One day it seemed a rash was spreading fast but after treating it with a mixture of EO it stopped.

It seems to alternate, some days I feel ok and some I feel like I can't get out of bed. Usually the day after feeling alright I'll be met with worse symptoms.

Right now I'm dealing with fatigue, headache, itchy eyes (I seem to have a white growth in my eyelids) and rash. I assume what was a spider has been colonized. I noticed a 'scab' looked real funny and was interested in looknig at it under a microscope. Seriously I diagnosed my mom with a fungal ear infection before any doctor did partially by looking at what was coming out of her ear in the microscope, turns out I was 100% correct. Well anyways I grabbed this scab and it wasn't a scab, it peeled off like taking a pinch of insulation. It was hairy-like mycelial growth. In the microscope I saw clear as day hyphae, looked like a damn tree.

I have a rash and acne like symptoms that have made their way to my head. The other day it seemed like after a shower and treating myself with neem all of my skin was peeling off, but it wasn't just skin lflakes, seemed like mycelium but I could just be paranoid at this point. I know I have aspergillus cause the culture came back positive for it.. "Just keep taking ketoconazole" I was told.

I'm seeing another doctor tomorrow. Seriously, I feel like I'm going to die, I've never felt this way in my life. I'm scared for my life, especially since it seems to have colonized a lot of my body.

I'm freaking out but trying to stay calm, the pounding headache, fatigue, aches, hyphae growth out of my skin have me rattled. I've also gotten light headed on occasion, I'm also still sometimes noticing blood in my stool.

I'm getting another opinion tomorrow.
