Hi Lil, I have been to the doctors. they gave me infection meds. They only worked while I was taking them. As soon as the Meds were out of my body they start to come back, it seems when I'm upset more than one comes on me. I might be just prone to them and there is nothing I can do. I don't want to take medication the rest of my life for this. I've put up with it for about 38 yrs. might as well go all the way. lol. thanks for talking to me about this.
Love ya, Virginia

Hello again Virginia,
I have two questions for you; Did the doctors never diagnose what it was you were dealing with? I find that rather odd. Or do you doubt their diagnosis and hence are seeking new opinions?
Secondly; What shape and size are these "boils?" Can you find an image of them and link them to us from the internet?
Third: Do you get these under your arms ONLY when you shave or are they always there if you're not taking medication and flare up under stressful conditions on random parts of your body?
Lastly, I don't think we are dealing with a bacterial infection here as bacteria are wimps when it comes to medication treatement and certainly don't plague you your entire life.
It sounds to me like it's a viral infection, one possible known as "HERPES." This isn't abnormal or bad but herpes are known to re-appear and disappear throughout the lifetime of an individual, especially to flare up during times of stress. HOWEVER herpes do NOT to my knowledge flare up simply because you SHAVE an area. So this would be strange if that is what is going on. Something else that that makes me doubt that it is herpes though is that your doctors would have known this and so I shouldn't be the first person to suggest this to you so perhaps I am mistaken.
I suppose I have a third question for you, what do you mean by "infection" medicine? Is that Anti biotics?
Again, if you've taken your medication to completion it is unlikely that this is a bacterial infection, unless since you were 16 you keep getting re-infected by the exact same bacteria which... i think the likely hood of that happening are astronomically low and high unlikely. The reason is that Antibiotic medication is EXTREMELY effective at killing bacteria and if you take ALL of it, the bacteria WILL DIE and no longer be in your system. So a repeated infection since you were young by them is extremely unlikely, very odd and not indicative of a bacteria. Though I suppose, never say never.
Virus' are different from bacteria though, they never truly die unless the immune system kills them. We have no medication to "kill" virus like we do bacteria, all we can do is control the symptoms and hope that our bodies can do the rest. This is the reason why virus' can stay with an individual for a lifetime, think of the aids virus for example.
Anyway... there could be a number of issues that are going on as you've seen here but i hope this information helps and look forward to your reply! I'm just trying to narrow down whether it's bacterial or viral. Other then that it would probably be impossible to tell you 100% what is going on from here. lol

Hi Alex, thanks for the questions you have ask. My husband and I were talking and he reminded me of the last time I went to the Doctor to be treated for these boils and she did say something about Herpes. My husband said that it upset me and I didn't want to hear it. I can't remember things like I use to, but as we were talking it started to come back to me. I guess you are on the right track thinking it could be a form of herpes. It just sounds so bad. tell me how come my husband don't have them like I do we have been married 17 years, are they not transmittable? Anyway I thank you for your time and effort to help me, which you have by refreshing my memory. Maybe I need to look more into this. I get them bad when I'm stressed, almost like Job, but not half as many. I do feel for Job. I know just a little of what he went through and that is too much for me. I hope you have a blessed and wonderful day and again I thank you.
your sister in Jesus, Virginia

Hi Virginia,
how about Homeopathic medicine, I believe there is a cure for you, if you are willing to try something different. It might be costly though, but it is something to look into if you are interested.
My daughter is Homeopath Dr. so I kind of believe in natural healing.
God be with you,
Vera

hi Virginia,
i do believe in natural treatments. it kept ray alive for 4 years, where the doctors gave him only 6 months. have you tried anything in that direction yet? if you get your urine tested the antipathy can give you a way better idea of what you are dealing with and what you can do to prevent them from coming back. good luck to you and keep us updated on your condition.
god bless

Hi all, thank you for your wonderful advise. I am into natural cures, but fear a little bit because of the medications I am taking. I have natural cures book, but I don't know if the treatments will go against the meds I'm already taking. I really don't know any home remedy that cures boils so they want come back. I only wish that could be for me.
Manuel it is a pleasure to met you even if it is by internet. you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am glad your operation went well and I hope you are healing good. God is Good and faithful to us all. Ray is such an inspiration me. He will always be with us through His teaching and through you since you are able to communicate with us on the forum. May God Bless and keep you in His loving arms.
You are my spiritual Mother and Sister in Christ,
I feel so much love for you. Virginia
I love my Brothers and Sisters also
