Really quite scared (serious thread for once!)
« on: 17 November 2008, 20:24:40 »
Sympathy please!!! :D

You may recall I went to A+E Yesterday, with my manky finger and swolen nodes in my arm.

I went to a follow up appt with my GP today. She's basically told me I've got blood poisoning, has prescribed me a basket full of antibiotics .

She's insisted I see her again at 4pm tomorrow, and if there is not a significant improvement, then I'm going into hospital. Apparently if it "tracks" beyond the arm, I am to call an ambulance immediately because it could be fatal.

I've never been to hospital before - I was expecting her to fob me off as per usual, but she was very serious and concerned for once  :'(

Thanks to STMO and others for encouraging me to go to A+E yesterday, apparently if I hadn't, then god knows  :-X

Hope they kick in for you!

NHS does seem good at times when they are worried about you  :y
(scarily fast treatment / tests at times)

southern softie ;D

Last time they got me in hospital, they dragged me there in an icecream van hooked up to ECG.  Things were blurry, but the paramedic was top tottie ::).  I was strapped down to the stretcher thing so could escape  :'(.

Got 3 days off work though :y

Must admit, there are only 2 benefits to being ill - nurses and time off work  ::)

I didn't know about this but would have encouraged the action you have taken... I know someone who had the same symptoms and ignored them... Luckily he only lost a finger!

Please don't ignore any worsening symptoms James... It really is serious stuff :o :o :o :o

That said, seems like you've got it looked at in time :y :y :y

Whatever it is... I didn't do it

Always worth seeing a doctor if you are unsure - better safe than sorry

Hope you mend soon, James.  :y

There is a subway 200 yards down the road, and an excellent chippy not too much further -  I will be bribing my colleagues to wait on me  ::)
