Hi Lisa,
It strikes me that you are with the wrong specialist. I know you have been with several ones already. The health control system can really be a complete pain until you find the right doctor that you feel comfortable with and that you feel you can work and network with. You clearly have an autoimmune condition and the doc giving you advice is a surgeon, that is, he is a mechanic, typically the kind of specialist that doesn't have a clue what an autoimmune condition entails, what triggers it, what are the systemic effects and so forth. He is good to stitch vessels together and that kind of stuff, but I would not put your condition in his trust. You don't need any stitching either for that matter!
Are you smoking strictly natural tobacco?
That there is some pain involved while doing the FIR sauna suggests that there is some changes going on. How long are you staying there and at what temperature?
Are you taking liposomal vitamin C consistently? How much?
Have you ever been diagnosed with chronic viral infections of any kind?
There are autoimmune diseases which manifests as vasculitis and which involves the formation of immune reactions at ONLY cold temperatures. That is, in a warm country, you may never find out or have those reactions. Usually triggered by many factors, but viruses playing a big role.
Is there a possibility of getting a functional medicine doctor? That is, an alternative medicine doctor which can work with you at addressing factors involved in the autoimmune condition unlike the one you have now that is addressing your condition from a strictly mechanical point of view? I think a good option would be an Internal Medicine doc that is trained in functional/alternative medicine or a family medicine one. Those are the guys who address stuff taking into consideration everything.
Do keep the good work with the diet, it is very important.
Don't despair with the smoking nonsense. Your doctor is obsessed with it because there is a disease where individuals (typically in the oriental race and male) and which I suspect are particularly sensitized to night shade family in a very bad way (the tobacco plant is part of that family), get their vessels obstructed and have other inflammatory manifestations which you don't have. It is genetic too, so you would have already heard by now of someone in your family having this problem. But it has come like a taboo and most doctors can't get over it despite the fact that is relatively rare compared to other conditions. Nicotine is anti-inflammatory, period.
Can you get a hold of some silver solution (i.e. colloidal silver) to cure your wounds? In that way they won't get infected.
