Am I Being Visited by Seven Plagues Like Herod?
Some of you have read my recent health problems, the adventures of which are chronicled in
Health Issues: A Strange Treatment Program and An Unexpected Threesome
I try to be a good person, but I am not a religious man. Perhaps somebody's god or goddess is trying to tell me something.
The latest: I have BOILS!!! The first was on my stomach, then one on my right inner thigh, and right now one is developing on my left butt cheek, which makes sitting very uncomfortable. I know little about their cause or treatment. I do know they are like a zit on steroids, and hurt like HELL!!! I haven't been back to the doctor, but am wondering if I should go.
What's next, frogs, locusts??!!

OUCH! Oh dear. I hope you get better soon, love!
And if you do get a bunch of frogs, I can give you a really good recipe for frog legs. ;) When life gives you lemons...
Or in this case, amphibians.
Are you sure it's not MRSA?
@AibellFaeire - lol; thanks!
@ShamrockLover - I certainly hope not!
Unfortunately, I get a boil every two months or so SOMEWHERE on my body lol. Warm compresses with a hot towel can help draw it out and help with the pain. They suck, there really is no getting around it lol
): Maybe someone would just dump a box of lemons on your front lawn instead.
The older I get, the more gross warts and shit I get on my skin. I find new ones just about every other month.
I'm no Playgirl centerfold so I decided to leave well enough alone.
Ouchie!
Ouch that looks painful! Hope you feel better soon
IN Christs Love

hello there old friend, i am not making lite of your boils, they are just sooooooooo familiar. I have had my fair share of them at the beginning of the year, I have been ill off and on for most of this year and at present I am convelescing(sp) at home, I would suggest you see a doc for the boils as they are caused by staph and you would need an antibiotic to clear them up.
@MoonBeam2 - Thank you for the advice; hope you, too, are better soon!
awww!
geez
divine healing! amen.
>< eek man
That would be a good idea- if it's really that bad then you should be checked- i don't know what God you pissed off but i'd hate to be you- sorry.
I would think that going to the doctors would be a good idea, especially since you know little about boils.
Lonely: I am not a doctor, but here is a way to dry these bastards up, and that is what you want to do, "dry" them - 1) Nick the head of them with a razor blade or pin, 2) Run a hot bath, as hot as you can stand it (hot as hell), 3) dump in bleach (yes bleach!) to the point you almost gag, 4) sit in this for as long as you can stand it........This is what we did growing up on the farm when we got into Poison Ivy and Oak, and it works, albeit it is not entirely comfortable. Remember, a strong soap, like lye or Octagon Soap, in this bath is a plus. Also, if you wimp out on the bleach, just use the soap!

@Reldas - Thanks, and yikes!
Hot washcloth compresses, or else to the doctor to have it lanced. Ouch! It sounds like your hormones are out of whack or else you have an infection running around your body somehow.
i think you should go to the doctor!
