probable MRSA? are you fucking serious?!

why can't anything normal ever happen to me? i also have a "large lump" in my left breast. ask me how exited i am about that. no seriously. i have an ultrasound monday to investigate. cross your fingers.

and to think, i went to the doctor thinking i had some bug bites and a sinus issue... sheesh.

Man, you cannot get a break! I hope you can take care of this with a minimum of bullshit.

yeah, as soon as some stuff stops new stuff comes in. i've been getting rashes on my face for years now, just not this bad, not this painful and not this itchy. the chest one is driving me mad too, it's like a super version of the one i usually get. maybe this means they'll finally have a concrete diagnosis for me (yeah right).

Don't hold your breath!

I got a staph infection on my thighs (it also went halfway down my shins, fun) that wouldn't respondond to prescription antibiotics or ointment (I saw the doctor about three times), and I ended up getting rid of it by washing with chlorhexidine soap (that hibiclens shit) every morning and night (I left it on for a 60 seconds and then rinsed it off). I used it until everything healed, I forget how long it took. Maybe you could try that?

I also thought it might be fungal, so at the same time I was doing the hibiclens shit, when I got out of the tub (twice a day, again) I put monistat on it. Yeah, yeast infection crap, I bought a tube of the 7 day shit and threw away those plastic applicators. I used that for a week, I think? Maybe two. Until I ran out, whenever that was.

I also bleached everywhere I tend to sit or lay, in case I was giving it back to myself.

End result: itchy, rashy scab free! For now. <.
