I Have A Transient Coagulant Negative Staph Infection That Has

I have a transient coagulant negative staph infection that has appeared in a right knee capsule in synovial fluid (2001) and in the left elbow bursa (olecranon surgery Oct 2014) (pathology tissue broth). I have roving attacks of reactive arthritis semianually. Finally right knee capsule displayed borrelia burgdorferi (Positive Western Blot test - on five bands) on aspiration January 2015. Have had numerous surgeries. Eyesight in right eye deteriorated markedly after right upper molar root canal - gingivitus moderate to heavy discovered at time September 2013. CONS species never identified. How long and with what severity can bactermia with CONS persist. ? Kunshell et al revealed in 1955 that tonsillectomy I had in 1957 led to increase of CONS and potential for post operative bacteremia. I also have pierced BBB as per July 2012 lumbar puncture results of CSF fluid testing. I believe I have active nonresponsive to abx bacteremia involving Central Nervous System with intra cellular infection. Am planning to remove right upper molar root canal to eliminate a situs of seeding of infection. Also have labyrinthitus symptoms including falling, vertigo dizziness traceable to right ear which are periodic anually. Suspect bacterial meningeal labyrinthitus as part of overall bacteremia. Have spot in right cavernous sinus of brain identified on MRI which could be infection site rather than nerve sheath tumor or lateral pituitary tumor as speculated by reading neuroradiologist. All these symptoms and findings seem consistent with occult bacteremia with right ipsalateral focus. Photosensitive vision (bilateral) suggests main optic nerve involvment. Blurred vision and right retinal hemorrhage with loss of color brightness and ability to focus in right eye suggest uevitus and retinitus involvement. All current specialists do not see or grasp whole picture or connection of whole body symptoms. What course would you take? Insurance has spent over $700,000 in testing over past years without any resolution. Infection symptoms were dismissed as nonpathogenic or focus of testing was oncological tumor related - which did not reveal chemical proof of active secreting neuroendocrine tumor. YYYY@YYYY
