Swelling has come right down from what it was, new antibiotics make me feel awful (doxycycline200mg)
Saw my GP today who checked my arm and lymp nodes,which wasone of the reasons I went.
Freaking me out that I can feel them under my arm pit, she said it’s normal as is feeling tired and feeling unwell.
She did say once I’m better she would like to check they’ve gone down just to be on the safe side. ( again this freaked me out) ( i then spoke to my doc friend who said of course they’re messed up you have an infection in your elbow !)
I asked if I could go back to work tomorrow- she said No !!! Wants me back in on Friday to check my swelling.
I’m a rubbish patient.
All this from a simple scratch…
Sorry for airing – antibiotics and generally feeling rubbish isn’t helping my anxiety my brain is all over the place with lots of irrational thoughts that lead to a bad place which include what if it’s something else that’ and my time is up etc .
I can’t put this onto my wife… perils of me loosing a parent when I was a child is really messing with me…
I don’t expect replies or anything I just needed to air though I’m not sure it will make my thoughts better.
