Inconvenient Annoyances

Oh noes!  Please get it checked out ASAP, whatever you have to do, even if that means going to a walk-in surgery or something. Boob infections and such can get out of hand quickly and make you really ill if you don't start treatment straight away. Obviously, I know this from experience, so please don't ignore this and wait the 5 days until you get home. 

I will I'm looking for a walk in now, and hopefully will be able to go tomorrow. I just hate being ill away from lovely GP and comfortable hospital I know really well, but can't leave work at the moment.

Should probably not attempt DIY surgery to drain it with my diabetes kit right?

Second Jewlz on that. Hope it turns out OK, CB.

Ha! Probably not.

I hope it's all okay. Keep me posted!

Ha! That's pretty off-label use! 

Don't blame you about being away from your GP- hope it feels better soon

NHS walk in told me they didn't deal with breast lumps and I needed to see my GP

I told her it wasn't like, an ordinary breast lump but an infection, cyst, painful lump but mean receptionist insisted Very sad right now as it's quite painful. Hopefully will resolve itself before I can get back to London.

That sucks, CB. I hope it gets better soon!

Bad mean receptionist 

Aww, sorry M. I hope it gets better soon...

That is rubbish.  I had a boob infection about 2 years ago and went to a walk in clinic.  Boooo!  I hope you feel better soon or it holds out until you get back.

  Can you ring NHS Direct and ask them where else you can go? They were really helpful when I called about my symptoms. 

Jump starting my second dead battery in 3 days on 2 different cars. I am the jump starting Queen!

Pobrecita CB!  Feel better soon.

My IA is that I'm up at 4:30 a.m. wide awake, no chance of getting back to sleep.  Plus, I have a dry hacking cough that likely kept poor boy up half the night.  Good thing he's off work for three days, lovely thing even offered to drive to Asda at 2:30 a.m. to get me cough syrup 

It's an odd cough.  No phlegm and I feel fine otherwise.  I'm thinking maybe I encountered an allergen on the plane, or in our new flat?

That is rubbish.

I agree.   

Hope you can get this sorted soon CB!!!

Get thee to A&E! Like Jewlz said this is NOT something to ignore. I had painful mastitis a few years ago and ended up being on anti B's for weeks before it finally cleared up and you really don't want to go through what J is going through right now. As much of a pain it might be to go and sit & wait to be seen this is not something to ignore till you can get home.

Hmmm.  It's ragweed season around here--could be that?  Def get yourself some cough suppressant and load up on vitamin C.
