Flesh eating disease symptoms and conditions

I am a 47-year old male; I was prescribed Bactrim for MRSA; after taking the prescription for just two days; My head felt as if it would explode (later told by doctor I had hives on the "inside of me"; I felt like I could not get my breath; my heart was racing; I broke out in hives - large red itchy splotches all over my body; pain in my abdomen; the inside of my mouth felt burnt and sore; eventually my lips felt burnt and began to blister and erupt; my penis glans began to blister and erupt; I thought I was dying of some sort of flesh-eating disease. 4-days after my last taken dose and I still am having these side effects.

When I stumbled onto this site I felt so relieved. Until then, I had thought I was the only one with this "dent" problem. I hadn't been completely sure that it was caused by the shot last year, but that was my only incident with my left butt cheek that I could think of. When I called my doctor's office and asked them the name of the shot they had given to me last year, they told me Kenalog. They had no real response to my questions about why I was never told about the possible side effects. My doctor just said, "Well, it's never happened in my office before".

When I went to my doctor last May, I had unexplained hives. She told me that they were going to give me a steroid shot to quickly take care of the problem. As I was about to leave the country, I thought it sounded like a good idea. Initially I did not notice anything amiss. Then, a few months later, I noticed a small dimple where none had been before. I mentioned it to my husband, but neither of us thought too much about it. At the same time of the dimple, I noticed that my periods were getting irregular and my body seemed to act like it was going into menopause (i.e. extreme dryness, hair loss, etc). I went to my gynocologist who agreed that my body was acting strangely, but could not identify a reason. We decided that maybe it was a hormone problem and I went off of the pill for three months. I did not mention the dimple to this doctor because I never would have thought it was related. In the months after this visit, I noticed that the dimple had sunk into a full blown dent! You could put a golf ball into it.

It was only this month, after my husband noticed that the dent looked deeper, that I started to really worry if I had some flesh eating disease. I started looking things up on the internet and slowly but surely, I found this site and all the answers I needed.

My doctor has documented my comments (while offering no encouragement about the flesh ever growing back) and I guess I will go on being lop-sided.
