KLAXON! Abscess in my armpit (Warning: May contain unshaven armpit!)

[ThrowThoseCurtainsWide]

I have an abscess in my armpit. It hurts like hell! I've got antibiotics for it, but as yet they're not doing anything for it. Think I might have to go up to the big hospital tomorrow to get it lanced. I'm not sure whether the lower swelling is another abscess or not. Hurts though!

ohyesiam It really was quite special

How's it healing? And the other lump?

It's healing really well. The other lump has mostly gone now too.

I did have a couple of large spots randomly pop up in there yesterday though. I'm currently keeping a very close eye. If they end up developing I am goi g to throw a massive hissy fit at my body!

Might be worth doing some serious wellbeing boosting stuff- loads of water, veg, raw veg, probiotics etc. May be your body warning you to look after yourself.

Yeah, I've started a new supplement routine with advice from the GP. I was really really unwell and hospitalised over the summer so I think my body is still run down from then. I'm hoping that the hair loss will slow down soon because I've lost about half of it now

Bless you!
I burnt the candle at both ends for a long while, and am having to pick up the pieces now.
