Keep thinking I should probably get checked out, but haven’t done so and I’m still here. I think it was most likely too much coffee or too much vaping. Or a combination of both. It's away now anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it's giving me anxiety. Do you reckon I'm having a heart attack? Maybe just heartburn? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I have a horrible feeling that I've had a nasty bug bite and its notlw infected. Feeling really grotty and the bite itself has gotten pretty angry looking. Been using over counter bite and sting cream, but it's not really made any difference. Will a pharmacy be able to sort us out with something does anyone know? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up in the ER for a nasty looking bug bite, and then admitted because the IV antibiotic (vancomycin) they tried cause me to turn red and start itching like a maniac. Would lean more to an A&E visit than a pharmacy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I've had strep throat over the last 2 weeks and on antibiotics. Today was the first time since Monday 26th June I've been able to eat a meal. The pain of swallowing plus the fact antibiotics were making me spew and causing a loss of taste. Not pleasant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 7 minutes ago, Tynie Bagstock said: If it's infected you will need antibiotics from a GP. Mark the redness around the bite and ensure its not tracking. Check you temperature and make sure it's below 37.5 and you're not tachycardic. Push fluids and make sure you're passing urine. If in doubt phone 111 just now. 9 minutes ago, TxRover said: Careful, a lot depends on any underlying conditions.

Cheers folks, the redness has definately extended through the course of today so will ring my GP first thing tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) Is there officially an age when we stop 'falling over' and instead must refer to it as 'had a fall'? My ankle went AWOL on the rocks earlier and there's bits of me that didn't even make contact and are now aching. Worse still, I only had one pint afterwards and then had to walk home.

Falling over is when you trip in public and witnesses either laugh or ask if you're alright. Having a fall is when you trip in public and witnesses immediately start dialling 999 while others tell you "just stay where you are dear, the ambulance will be here soon". My mother discovered that she'd crossed over into the latter category a while back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I had a group of 3 bug bites that itched like hell. 24 hours and a bit of cortisol-10 and I have this.... It's amputation time isn't it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 The cleggs are horrific this year, I must’ve had half a dozen bites already but actually been doing okay by being vigilant and keeping on top of the antihistamines and cortisone cream. However, picked up another one yesterday on my upper arm, stupidly didn’t deal with it at the time and it’s driven me up the wall all night. Would quite happily take the amputation with a blunt Stanley knife right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I was out for a run yesterday and I've done something to my leg. Feels like the muscle on the inside of my right thigh. I can move the leg/foot around no problem when I'm sitting down, but when I stand up, try to walk or bend over it's too sore and I can't. Walking and bending over (and coughing) are the only movements I've managed that are actually too painful to do normally, so I can't really tell what it is or how long it'll take to go away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I was diagnosed with "Golfer's elbow" a couple of months ago. Using exercises and the occasional ibuprofen, managed to get it to calm down. I the midst of a mad flare up just now. Had to get Scott to push the shopping trolley the other day, even that was too much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
