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.

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.
