How bad is cellulitis

I've had cellulitis kicking around in my system for around a year. Up to now it's stayed in my right leg but now I think that it's moved to my left leg where there is a massive amount of lymphodema.

I have been here before a few years ago and ended up on a drip. This time I can't get the GP to prescribe more than 500mg which bounced off it in the past. I'm going to try going to a walk in clinic and begging tomorrow.

But is it really bad? I just feel so flattened by it, but I'm borderline actively suicidal and it's hard for me to keep on with treatments. I need to keep going because my son needs lifts to school, but finding it tough. I wondered if I ignored it then it would just simmer down. I don't want to take up a doctor's time if it's not necessary.

Thank you for any help.

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health Resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website, or email them on [email protected].

We see that you are getting some wonderful support from other Mumsnetters which is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

Wishing you the very best,

MNHQ💐
