Seems like it's one step forward and two steps back……….. I was finally starting to feel better from whatever kicked my butt all summer. I had one good weekend - ONE! - which I spent throwing a sleepover/birthday party for DD. Then I get this familiar and unpleasant sensation in the nether regions - throbbing, swelling, fever, pain, nausea. It's another dam peri-**** abscess!

I ended up having surgery and massive doses of several antibiotics. Now the antibiotics are kicking my butt! Bad!!!!!! So I get the added joy of hemorrhoids, diarrhea, gut cramps - oh, not to mention the Cipro reaction of tendonitis. I had to switch to Keflex.

So now I'm sitting here all loopy on painkillers trying to type coherently.

Is anyone else plagued with abscesses? This is the second one near the rectum, both on the left side, I've had to have surgery on. The doctors can't tell me what's causing them. If you want to put a hex on your enemy, go for a peri-**** abscess!
