Allergic?!

The medicine the doctor gave me seems to be making my skin worse.. I mean come on man! Can't a red girl catch a  break? (said in my ghetto voice) so we're going back to the antibiotics I was on first and time will only tell if that helps...

Also, never take a bath in %50/50 water and vinegar. My dermatologist recommended it... As much as I like her, she's obviously insane. Haha.. We tried it & it pretty much burned my skin, made it raw! Hurt like a son of a gun to say the least.. Needles to say, we'll stick to bleach and water to get the infection off. Burns muuuuuch less, if at all!

Id also like to say happy birthday to my gorgeous nephew! Since I'm so sick I can't make it to his birthday party which breaks my heart but I'm sure he won't mind too much since he has his uncle Curt :). He's a year  old! Well, will be Wednesday. I love him so much.

The picture of my arm is where it made my skin raw, others are my sweet nephew!

We're gonna be grown ups!

Recently, Curtis got a new job working for IBEW. His job site is an hour away from both our home towns so it only makes since to move closer since gas prices are kicking our butts. We spend about $400 to $600 a month just on gas! So we found a place 3 minutes away from his work so we're moving out on our own for the first time. Let me tell ya, I'M A NERVOUS WRECK! An hour away from both of our families makes for a terrified Steph! I'm super excited that we don't have to "house hop" anymore and we'll be able to hang our clothes up in the closet instead of living out of bags but I'm thinking the move will be bittersweet.

I haven't been on youtube in a while due to no computer access. I still film like crazy, I'm just not getting it online so I reckon filming so much is pointless. If you'd like to keep up with us, follow us here or on twitter. I also have an Instagram; TurnerWife101. You can follow me on there too! 

I got the results back on my culture and blood work. I had three different kinds of bacteria on my skin that was making me so sick, Staph, Strepp and something else that I can't spell or pronounce. They gave me two different types of antibiotics to take twice a day. Hopefully I'll be good as new before we know it! 

Other than that, theres not much to catch ya'll up on. Any questions? Contact me via twitter, leave a comment or email me at xxsturner@gmail.com! 

Thanks for reading!! :)

Stephs staph

Alright so Sunday night I started running fever and feeling like crap. Monday I woke up and my skin was hurting very bad and I had red circle-like spots in my inner thigh, legs and a few on my arm. Only on the places that were in pain... I sent pictures to my mom and she told nee to come home so she could "doctor me up"(haha), when Curt and I arrived at my mommas house it was bedtime so as I was getting ready for bed, I got undressed and black dots were covering 87% if my legs from top to feet.

My lower legs usually have thicker (pretty gross looking) skin that's much harder to get off than any other place. But never have I had anything like this. It also spread to my arms, stomach, back and nose on Tuesday.

Today (Wednesday) I woke up to my skin not hurting and the spots mostly faded besides on my legs. I went to the dermatologist this morning and they took
a culture in my skin using a Q-Tip. They also gave me a shot of Rocephin and I got blood taken. Lots of fun today, let me tell ya! My derm. said she thinks its staph, i'm pretty sure I agree with her.

Hopefully the antibiotics and the shot in the  butt does some good! Results should be back in atleast by the beginning if next week. I'll be sure to update! Thanks :)
