How long have I got?

greencreeper · 08-08-2007, 00:57

Started with me feeling a bit rough - this was after a evening of excessive vodka and coke consumption, so I thought the two might be linked. You never know

Then developed the snuffles and sore throat - not so much a blocked nose but more phelgm at the back of the throat. It seemed to be easing but then last night I came over all weak and cold - really shivering. Took myself to bed and woke up this morning with a banging headache (unusual for me). Plus this strange lump under my right armpit - pea-sized, not well defined, and it hurts like hell

Also neck ache too - I think the lymph nodes are enlarged. Never known anything like it. I've made an appointment with the Doc - Thursday morning. I came over cold again at work - took some paracetamol and codeine, and put my jacket on. Felt better after a bit.

[edit] Ears ache too and don't feel right.

The black/brown stuff

I've had to start drinking vodka and coke, even though it is a bit a common, because rum and coke is a bit heavy on the stomach. Hard to find a bar that sells a decent drink

You should try some Wray & Nephews, they sell it in Wetherspoons (Or Tescos)

Hope your inssurance is up to date, :yikes: no sounds to my you've over done it a bit and are somewhat run down, take things easy for a few days to re-coop.

Had some of that... It's about 63% and it's potent. Evil, evil stuff.

It is sensible to avoid drinking alcohol for six weeks while recovering from glandular fever.

So you should be ok on the coke white or black

Acathla · 08-08-2007, 09:27

I'll give you 3 weeks - best to get out there and do everything you always wanted to before your time is up

Sounds like how I felt after glandular fever - who've you been snogging??!??

Can't explain the lump, could be your brains leaking out through your armpit??
Sure it's not just a Skin Tag? (http://www.medicinenet.com/skin_tag/article.htm) They can be common and you might not have known it was there until your senses started to be heightened. STOP PICKING AT IT and it might not hurt so much

Good luck at the docs!

Pffff - chance would be a fine thing. Just my luck I've got it off a mucky glass or something.

No - it's definitely a lump. Might just be something to do with the lymph nodes but it doesn't feel like it.

Woke up at around 05:00 with really bad shaking - had to get up and get some strawberry water and paracetamol/codeine. Managed to drop off again but had a terrible dream. Woke up again about 10:00 with a mild headache and now really sore throat
