New Hope in Treating Staphylococcus Infections: HELP! i have staph but im allergic to keflex

» ana36 - HELP! i have staph but im allergic to keflex

im 21 and i am a full time caregiver for my grandmother who has alzheimers. i need help, info, and advice but i cant find more than 30 seconds at a time to search.
2yrs ago i developed these sores on my legs, then it eventually spread, um upwards, my butt cheaks and was much worse there. 9months ago i THOUGHT i had a brown recluse spider bite. 7 months ago my new doctor discovered my legs and the "bite" was from staph in my hair follicles. unfortunately im allergic to keflex, but it wasnt so bad then so i didnt worry.5 months ago i discovered i have heart problems that so far are extremely difficult to diagnose, the one certain is i have "floppy valves"
i happened to stumble across an article about staph infections starting in the skin and leading to the heart valves. im curious to know which came first my staph or my heart problems, but more importantly im terrified. please someone help me, please... i dont know what to do, i have no info and i "work" around 13 hours a day 7 days a week.
