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.

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.

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.

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