I feel so tired, today is actually a day after endless broiling days, I could go out and I might a short time. The other day I noticed this leg boil burst out on one of my leg lobes, it just came from nowhere. I don't know if a spider bit me and never felt any other bug bit me but I have this huge boil and carbuncle, that is trying to burst out. It has not gone into full cellulitis yet, and I got my emergency antibiotics filled and at the ready but the fatigue is already here, and both lymph nodes in my arm pits are swollen which means impending infection. Why me?
My fatigue is worsening. Even with these diagnoses, I feel like doctors and others don't get how tired I am. Every time I push even a teensy little bit on the effort to try to clean or anything else, the body checks out. Nothing is ever good enough.
I let down my guard and a boil comes to get me. I shower everyday. I love how the boil websites, say "Keep the area clean and dry" like I went on a three week grease-a-thon of no showers and KFC dinners. Well this boil came out in a place where there's no chafing, it's on an OUTSIDE part. I guess they are a part of lymphedema/lipedema. I may be able to fight this one off without antibiotics, it's high enough, but it's making me tired. The heat probably did it too.
Sorry to hear you have the boil to deal with now. I get those darn things, too! Just does'nt seem fair, does it?
ReplyDeleteNo it doesn't. This body is really getting to me. I think I need to find some big gun specialists. I am fighting it off, may not need antibiotics, but have been very lazy in bed all day save for shower.
DeleteI don't want to wrap today either. Almost tempted to cheat and not do it but the legs may swell like balloons.
DeleteI get that too. I have these lumps I just don't dare touch, they will get very huge, and I think it does turn into cellulitis too, I think I was told that once, and they don't lance them anymore, just leave them be. It used to be very painful back in my younger years, and now, either I'm tougher or they just don't hurt so much. But I learned to leave them be, and just live with the little lumps or they will turn on me.
ReplyDeletesorry you get them too. Im in bed now, I think its healing and I am avoiding antibiotics or hospital but I am very tired and that part is scary. :( Sorry you had to deal with them. I take the gamble of leaving it alone rather then spreading an infection.
