I had lemierre...Hi my name is Jamie and I'm 16. I had lemierre's syndrome back in March of 2009. I was in the hospital for 8 days and was on a PICC line, had to inject myself with lovanox shots everyday and took several oral antibiotics once I was out of the hospital. I am now fully recovered except some lung damage but that is expected to get better over time. I am very grateful for all of the doctors that took care of me while I was sick and if it wasn't for them I wouldn't be here. I am already trying to spread the word of L.S. and I've already ordered some wrist bands and gave them to my family and friends and I'm going to order more very soon. I want to help as much as I can to spread the word about L.S. If there is anything I can do please reach me at...<br />Jamie_reaves123@yahoo.com <br /><br />JamieJamienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211323220282490702.post-72299224696637232132009-06-08T08:23:53.772-05:002009-06-08T08:23:53.772-05:00My 19 year old son was hospitalized recently for 9...My 19 year old son was hospitalized recently for 9 days, released, and continues his treatment at home. The key to his recovery was an infectious disease specialist on staff. Along with daily IV and oral antibiotics, he is being treated with heprin, an anticoagulant. He was on 5 antibiotics while they searched for answers but they were not effective Once diagnosed, the docs were able to target the bacteria with the right meds, and within 24 to 48 hours he turned the corner. He lost 20 lbs and his lung capacity is still diminished but he is on the mend. They said it will be a long recovery. His infectious disease doctor was Kaufman at St. Dominican Hospital in Santa Cruz, but any ID doc should be able to help.Ninanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211323220282490702.post-62279658450160179872009-05-18T02:03:00.000-05:002009-05-18T02:03:00.000-05:00Hey,
