ugh i had a UTI near-a-month ago now--the doc first guessed wrong at the bacteria type, so i spent 2 weeks on the wrong antibiotic (panicking all along that the symptoms hanging around meant i had cancer), then another two weeks prescribed on the right antibiotic. symptoms started to relieve, and theeeeen hello yeast infection.
so now a probiotic along with my antifungal and a reduced antibiotic dosage and fuck even knows what's happening in my body now, a host of unpredictable pressures & tensions as the yeast dies off & i try to not eat anything that'll make it worse. meanwhile, as i start to see daylight through that garbage, i'm just sitting with baseline bladder discomfort now and couldn't begin to guess what to blame. the bursitis in my hips is saying hello now that winter's arrived, confusing groin sensations further. i don't wanna do a fucking sixth doctors visit this month but goddammit i just wanna feel fucking normal again.

MA I went thru exactly what you did, a year or 2 back, I called it my 'back monster'. Mine ended up the size of a golf ball and I was days from being hospitalized with an infection - caught it just in time. It took what seemed like months to keep going and getting the wicking changed and dressed, but they told me if I didnt do it properly, the cyst'd come back again, so.
It hasnt since!

damn hoos. i'm afraid of antibiotics for much the same reason. i don't get sick much anyway but the only time i've ever gotten a yeast infection is when i was taking them for an extended period. it kills the good bacteria that keep the yeasts at bay. please don't stress. i don't believe (ianad) that eating the right foods will do anything. the drugs are too strong. the bacteria will come back and kill the yeast when you are done with it all. nature is cruel.

my hereditary sciatica has chosen this moment to start acting up, which means in addition to a churning gut my hips & lower back & groin are starting to throb on a regular basis and unlike the yeast infection or this infinity UTI this one is gonna stay with me forever
its hard not to despair a little

the people who care for me most have already spent unusual amounts of their lives caring for toxic people through long hard medical scares, and if i lapse into thoughtlessness i risk plucking at bad memories, which makes me feel like i'm in this state of policing how i express what i'm feeling. which isn't healthy in any sense. i'm gonna talk that out with the necessary people.
xp lol @ "yeasty boy"

I think my long-standing sebaceous cyst on my back heard me reading this thread - it went and got angry about 3 weeks ago.
I’d had it a long time, it used to have a sibling up near where the back of my neck meets my shoulder, but that got angry itself about a decade ago - it just slowly popped and ruined a few shirts.
This one, though, was down at lung height and when it turned heel it was really fucking with my sleeping. So after a few days I went to see my GP and they sent me to A&E (ER). I waited a few hours then I was seen by someone who said “take these antibiotics and hope it gets less inflamed, we’d rather not cut it in this state”. But it didn’t so a few days later I came back.
There’s not a lot of TMI tbh - because I’m in the soft decadent republic of Londonistan, I got about 6-7 local anaesthetic shots before the operation, and then one during, into the wound. The smell was apparently pretty bad, but I was face down and didn’t smell anything - I was impressed that the doctor considered it bad though, he works in emergency services!
But he thought he got everything and since then it’s just been coming in every few days to get the wound repacked. A nurse a week ago was muttering notes while working on it and said it was about 1cm deep, which is more deep than I thought I could go and basically not notice at all.
Basically I just wanted to be one of the cool kids.

I was telling my girlfriend about the operation and about howI was face-down-but-actually-facing-right for most of it, and at the end while the doctor was off fetching something to pack the wound I shifted over to facing left, meaning that I was staring at the trolley with the bandages and blood and the bits of the cyst, horrible gory lining that it’s freaky to think actually came out of me.
And then she stared at me for a minute and I stfu.

When I was young (under 10) I developed and had surgery for a hydrocele, I think they said it was due to a natural hernia where the tube that went to my ball opened? got real big and they had to drain it, whatever
it returned in adulthood and was fine until it wasn't fine and started becoming annoying. it didn't hurt, it just got in the way, you know? crossing legs, riding a bike, wearing tight jeans, etc. I talked to a urologist abt surgery abt a year ago when my right ball was abt the size of a clementine (the ball itself was normal but the sac around it had filled w fluid to abt the size of a clementine) and I slacked on getting an ultrasound and making follow up appts and then scheduling it so I only JUST had the surgery for it today. Over the past year it had grown to about the size of a kiwi.
so anyway I got the surgery today!! my balls are now matching size and it's great, except for that they shaved my pubes and balls and i hate it and when i look at my scrotum i feel like what the dad in eraserhead must have felt like when he looked at his baby
also I have to keep ice and pressure on it, and it's unfortunate to have to apply pressure to your balls.

i had surgery for that when i was two. guess they wanted to get it out of the way before they had to shave my sack
