Karen - I noted on another board you are on an IV anti biotic for your digital ulcers. How is that working and what did they put you on? How is the picc line?

I started June 10 with an infected ulcer on my middle left finger. They put me on clindamycin and by Monday the 15th it was much worse, I had a PICC line put in the 16th and they put me on 350 mg of cubicin once a day. It still was not getting better so I spent the 25th - 27th in the hospital and a hand surgeon was call in. He fortunately understands SD and is not in a rush to do surgery. My infectious disease specialist added a 2nd antibiotic called Ivanez and between the 2 it is slowly starting to heal. Still have tie PICC line and see the Dr. Wednesday to check it out on whether my knuckle will have to come out or not. Sorry I haven't been posting but typing is a pain (literally) and the med's are tearing me up.
Thanks,
K
