I think I have a staph infection.

Oh, jeez! That's scary. I hope that it's just irritated. Or just a run-of-the-mill, easily-cured-by-antibiotics infection.

Let us know how it goes!

(PS - how was brunch?! I missed you guys!)

I hope it's nothing serious. Let us know!

omg, I seriously just had one 2 weeks ago. It wasn't in a good spot. I went to the clinic, too early to drain, got antibiotics and it ended up popping on it's own in the middle of night. It was so awful, but I felt so much relief. The antibiotics were awesome.

I feel totally fine and nomral now. I hope you catch it early!

Were you able to keep pumping/breastfeeding? I'm super worried about this!

They said that my immune system is compromised when the 24 hour bug I had yesterday and the sleep deprivation.

I'm scared. =(


Julez, brunch was good. We missed you! I'll email or FB message you later. =)

I was. The doctor was super supportive of getting me on the strongest antibiotic that I could still breastfeed with. I only had to take it once a day so she told me to take it when I would have the most time before feedings (for me this was at night when I would get about 6 hours between).

Oh crap. I hope the antibiotics kick in soon and you don't have to go back to the clinic.

[janiejones]

Oh, not fun. I hope it heals quick.

Oh man, I hope the meds work and you feel better soon!

[textbookcase]

I'm sorry I hope it heals quickly.

UGH! This is a huge fear of mine (my dad is still recovering from a near fatal staph infection). Check into a probiotic, high doses of antibiotics can really do a number on your body. I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Yup, staph infection...fuck.

Got an antibiotic, take 2x a day. If not improving by tomorrow I have to go back in.
I'm so pissed off.

Can you blame it on your gross co-irker?

[daisyheadmaizie]

I'm sorry, puddle.
