Wah! Infection!

[mofette]

I've been sent home from work because I've got an abcess under my arm. Nice. This means that I'm in absolute agony and I can't move it much.

I went to the doctors this morning, and she gave me some antibiotics [Co-Fluampicil] and told me to take lots of Ibuprofen, so now I rattle when I walk. It's unfortunate because I've got the bis gig on Friday in Glasgow, and I start my nice new job on Monday, and I'm supposed to be going out to drink with the staff this week, but I can't drink [although I've read the instructions inside and it doesn't mention not taking alcohol or even messing with birth control. I am very confused.]

I just want this lump to go away, it's making me lethargic and angry and sore and I can't sleep properly.

Sorry it took me so long, it was hard finding a box to get it into!!

Apart from one very specific antibiotic used to combat VDs, a couple of pints are actually OK with antibiotics generally. More than a couple won't do any harm as such, but 3+ pints will kill progressively more antibiotics, reducing their effectiveness.

and bacterial gum infections!

Awesome. I'm a cheap date these days anyways, two is all I need!

there are very few types of anti-biotic you can't drink with and they're pretty heavily labelled as drinking with them can make you really vommy.

I did some googling and this one will mess with birth control but not booze.

WAY HAY!

sorry sweetie.

[mofette.livejournal.com]

no idea, could've been an ingrowing hair or anything or just my body hates me l(

I've had that before, it was horrible.
On the plus side I had antibiotics for it and it went in a day or two.

[mofette.livejournal.com]

Thank you :) that's really reassuring!

Have you switched deodorants recently? I did just before I got mine, stopped using it immediately, could have been coincidence, but thought it better to not risk it.

[mofette.livejournal.com]

I borrowed one off my workmate once, I have had this thought and won't be going near nivea again!!

[ms-siobhan.livejournal.com]

Pooh.
Hope it subsides really quickly and you are feeling lots more Moffettey soon.

[mofette.livejournal.com]

I should be, I already feel muchly better than this morning!

Interesting ways to deal with an abscess

I could tell a very long story involving infamous GPs over-proscribing codeine, attempting to get on with life and finding out that a) maths is so much more fun when 'take 1 every 3 hours' becomes 'take 3 every 1 hours' and b) how many people manage to convince themselves you've been shot when a del-boy dive proves that the doctor is always right in the end....

Urgh!! I really hope it clears up soon, those are miserably uncomfortable :/

Lump sat alone in a boggy marsh
Totally motionless except for her heart
Mud flowed up into lumps pyjammas
She totally confused all the passing piranhas
Shes lump shes lump
Shes in my head
Shes lump shes lump shes lump
She might be dead
Lump lingered last in line for brains
And the ones she got were sorta rotten and insane
Small things so sad that birds could land
Is lump fast asleep or rockin out with the band

I have this real fear of getting an abcess for some reason. I hope you feel better soon x

You might want to buy some multi-vitamins with zinc (the zinc's pretty impotant) it'll speed up your body fighting the infection.

Now this is a story all about how my
Life got flipped turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I become the prince of a town called Bel-Air

In west Staffordshire born and raised
On the playground is where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin', all cool
And all shootin' some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of abcess who were up to no good
Started makin' trouble in my under arm
I got one little lump and my mom got scared
And said, "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air."

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said ill and it had puss in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought, "Nah, forget it. Yo home to Bel-Air!"

I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabby yo holmes smell ya later
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air.
