Cellulitis

I recently had a bout with cellulitis in my left leg and ankle. I took two antibiotics and also two shots of antibiotics. I had to stay on bedrest for a week with my leg propped up. The infection is now gone, but I have discoloration of the skin and still have swelling (edema) from the cellulitis. I have not been taking my vitamins like I should. I take a B-12 injection monthly, but other than that I have quit taking my vitamins unless I think about it every once in awhile. I know that the vitamins are VERY important and I shouldn't be forgetting them. But I just don't think about it like I did when I first had my surgery back in December 2004. I don't do protein anymore either except for what I eat during the day. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if it might be related to malnutrition. I would appreciate any replies.

I have never had cellulitis but my prayers and heart goes out to you that you'll recover and be healthy once gain. Keep us post. Hugs Donna

Thank you so much! I appreciate your prayers so much too! These past couple of weeks have been something else. I went to Vitamin World today and bought myself some Multivitamins. We'll see if that will help. Blessings, Michele~
