NECROTIZING FASCIITIS AWARENESS DAY

Necrotizing Fasciitis Awareness Day on May 31 shines a light on a rare disease that affects the soft tissues of the skin. We also learn about why it’s important to treat necrotizing fasciitis appropriately and immediately to avoid rapid spread of the disease.

Necrotizing Fasciitis Awareness Day offers more than information to help prevent this skin infection. The entire day encourages support and provides resources to those who have been affected by the disease.

What is necrotizing fasciitis?
Necrotizing fasciitis is rare skin disease. It is most commonly believed to be caused by group A Streptococcus, which is why recognizing the symptoms quickly and getting treatment can mean the difference between life and death.

Necrotizing fasciitis can affect everyone, including healthy people. A small cut can happen to anyone and become infected with this bacteria. In fact, bacteria can enter the body through other wounds, too. Burns, bites, punctures, and even surgical incisions may be areas of entry for the bacteria.

Like many skin infections, necrotizing fasciitis may start off seeming minor. The skin might be warm to the touch near the injury. It might even be tender. The rest of your body may ache with symptoms similar to the flu, including a fever. However, these minor symptoms can develop and change quickly. Fatigue, changes in the color of your skin, dizziness, and oozing from the infected area are just a few of the symptoms to watch for.

It’s important to contact your physician any time you have a concerning injury. Follow your doctor’s instructions after surgery, too. They provide contact information for follow up care, including any risk of infection.

@taci,

Good Evening I hope they find that leak. Thank you for asking about my sister that
was on my mind all week long. I did not talk about because it came up fast. Sis was already
nervous and the pills she does not take sis do not like taking pills I told her hey in this case
you have a real need for it and it will help to be comfortable this surgery was in the
stomach area. Ah no I would have to be in a purple haze in order to get through the pain. 😎

Only after I feel normal will I dump the rest. 😎

I will wave at you from the Moon for I am the girl in the Moon. 😎💕😘
Remember to look up.

Aretha Franklin Lyrics
“(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman”

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired

Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But you’re the key to my peace of mind

‘Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

When my soul was in the lost and found
You came along, to claim it
I didn’t know just what was wrong with me
‘Til your kiss helped me name it

Now I’m no longer doubtful of what I’m living for
And if I make you happy I don’t need to do more

‘Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

Oh, baby, what you done to me?
You make me feel so good inside
And I just wanna be close to you
You make me feel so alive

You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman
