Just thought I would pop on here and give you all an uptate of my progress. Well I am still taking the antibiodics and apparently they are still working. Unfortunately I still have some pain. The strange thing is, my skin is actually peeling from where I was burned from the fever. 
I will be so glad when it’s all over and done with so I can get back to normal blogging .

Well I think I finally got a breakthrough in this infection I have been battling. Today , a lot of the infection decided to release itself. At first it scared tjhe crap out of me. But at least it is coming out. Those meds the doctor prescribed must be powerful ones. I know I am not out of the woods yet and there is a lot more that needs to come out. But I will get through it. As long as I don’t have to get anything drained, I will be fine.
Now, there is something else I want to talk about. For quite some time, I have had a lot to deal with and have been under a great deal of stress a lot of the time. But there are just some things I need to talk or vent about but they are kind of personal issues and I don’t want to put them on here for the entire population to view.
But it is also not good to keep things bottled up inside of me. There are a select few people I really trust out here. So from time to time, you may see a locked post on here. I will send the pw to the people in which I know their email addys.
I feel this is something I need to do because at times I just need advice or someone to talk to so this will be like group therapy. 
So that’s it for now. Take care all and lots of hugs.

Non-lactational mastitis: Bacteria also cause this infection. Women who smoke, have a breast condition called ductal ectasia, have diabetes, or have weak immune systems due to cancer treatments or certain illnesses may be at a higher risk of developing this infection.
What are the signs and symptoms of mastitis?
Signs and symptoms can include:
* a breast that is swollen, red and warm to the touch
* breast pain
* chills or fever (temperature above 38.5 degrees C or 101.4 degrees F)
* flu-like symptoms
* feeling very tired
* development of a breast abscess (a collection of pus)
How is mastitis of the breast treated?
It is important to call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of cellulitis. It is important to be treated as soon as possible to prevent the infection from spreading. Any one or more of the following may be done:
* You may have an ultrasound.
* Antibiotics may be started.
* You may need to be seen by a surgeon.
For any discomfort, your doctor may suggest that you:
* take acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol)
* apply a cold pack to the breast to help manage the discomfort.
* wear a well-fitting bra and not do any movements that would cause your breasts to move
After you have had mastitis, the area of the infection may change in texture (feel). Some changes may look like microcalcifications on a mammogram. Tell your mammogram technologist that you have had mastitis before.”>

What you see above is some research I did on the internet today on “Mastitis” I went to the doctor today and he confirmed that a severe case of mastitis is what I have. I thought it might be the case because before my visit, I looked up my symptoms on the net and Mastitis came up several times. The above article, gives a bit more insight to the problem so you guys will have a better idea of my condition. I am gong to go into a bit more detail of what I have been going through.

I wanted to come on here to do a quick post. I know many of you have been concerned about what is going on with me. your concern is appreciated more than you know. Even though I have never met some of you, I feel as if we have known each other forever, You guys are true friends. And honestly, I don’t know what I would have done without you. 
O.k. on to my situation. I was suppose to make a docs app yesterday but I didn’t get a chance because I slept for most of the day. 
It was a much needed sleep. On Sunday night, I didn’t sleep at all.

O.k. I know you have all been waiting for my pics from Rock The Doc. Well unfortunately, you will have to wait another little while. The past few days, I have been battling with a really bad infection/inflamation. I know it is really bad, but I am scared to go over to the hospital o.p,d . One of the reasons being is that I am scared they will keep me there at least over night .
Hell, I don’t even know if the hospital opd is even open this month. They usually close it for a bit at certain times because of the shortages of doctors around here etc. So to put it plain and simple, you either suffer it out, or die. Not much of a choice is it ?
