My hand had just goe swollen and shiney red - allergy? virus?

[KatyMac]

I have a rotten cold

I can't sleep

My hand is red & shiny and tight

What do we reckon allergy? Virus?

I guess virus is mst likely

So off to the GP tomorrow

[Gingerbear]

What with that and the farting and belching Katymac,

I reckon its the knackers yard for you.

Sorry old bean but your time is up.

[Gingerbear]

Could be cellusitus?

[KatyMac]

I agree

What's cellusitus - should I goggle?

[Gingerbear]

I had a swollen hand/wrist once - a cat bite became infected. Antibiotics sorted it out. Doc asked me if I was a fish filleter (?!?, erm, no..).
Was in Grimsby at the time and many folk got this weird infection from knicks and cuts working with fish (bones and knives)

[KatyMac]

No fish
Cat well behaved

I think virus which mean GP will say - go away

[Gingerbear]

don't google. You become hypocondriac.
At least doc will put your mind at rest.
If not bring out a big stun gun and order a cart.

[KatyMac]

I told the Dr I was a hypochondriac about 2 ys ago her said 'But Katymac, you have everything you think you have.....I have never met anyone who catches stuff like you' - but at least I knew there was one thing I didn't have

[Gingerbear]

ROFL.
Go get honey and hot lemon, a snugly blanket and try and get some sleep.

(I sound like my mother...)

[KatyMac]

Sorry that was 20yrs ago not 2....mind you I was later diagnosed with ME - I actually wonder how long I had, had it when it was diagnosed

I have 5 tests for glandular fever in 3 yrs all negative

[Gingerbear]

Oh, sorry, not laughing now, just funny that your GP agreed with you about hypochondria.
ME dreadful. My best mate at uni had it after glandular fever and had to retake a year. Took years for her to recover.

[Gingerbear]

Go to bed woman!

[KatyMac]

I'll try

I just can't catch it

[KatyMac]

My hands are a better

My cold is still awful

[KatyMac]

Oh - now a foot has done this

I think I have had enough. please take this cold away now = I want it to go
