I feel that you can be happy even with having had NF. Counceling is important, to talk to someone about your feelings of having NF. Trying to stay positive is important. I know we all have days when we feel defeated, "why me?" I asked and still ask myself. Focus on the positive. For me, beleiving in a higher power has been helpful; along with support from others.

Some wounds may take longer to heal and require extra care even after healed. Be mindful of cleansing properly, and not hurting already sensitive skin and tissue.

Appreciate every little advance you have. I was happy the first day I could get dressed, it took six months. Make a joke out of what you went through. I call my left leg a “Franken-leg”. It’s cobbled together like Frankenstein. Appreciate what you can do, get help with what you can’t do. I love taking a shower-but I need help. I’m just glad I can do it. That took me 7 months. Get everything by ready for cooking before you start.

I don't think anyone can Live with NF. It has to be treated by antibiotics and surgery or you will for.

As I stated, I had extensive skin grafts after they excised my right lower leg. My self esteem has suffered quite a bit. I no longer feel I can wear shorts or go swimming.Everyone tells me how lucky I am that I didn't lose my leg or die...and I know that..but it's still hard. People are grossed out by my leg...even my husband. It's a catastrophic thing to have necrotizing facitis. You have to learn to be happy with your new body image.
