Sthandra no need for apologies hearing each other rant is all part of being in the fibro family, if you can't do it here where could you. Ten years ago I had what looked like a boil on my bum, went to the doc who said it was a small boil and gave me antibiotics, it was eswechating (hope you get what that ment to say lol) pain, I rang him later that day as it was getting worse, he told me to give the meds chance, within 2 days I was taken by ambulance as it was a absese had to operate to remove, then packed everyday with full crete bandage, so you can imagine. so I fully get where your coming from fingers crossed all goes well smiles and hugs xx
