I'm sure that you will be able to help others here. It's great that you knew something was wrong and didn't just settle for antibiotics. I also credit my being in the health care field for my early diagnosis. I'm sure my non-healing "sore" would have been ignored by many.
Happy New Year to you and I hope you are feeling better each and every day.
