Skin infection

I have a skin infection.

It’s serious (well, any skin infection is serious, but when you have a probable autoimmune disease and are on immunosuppressants and have adrenal insufficiency any infection is always serious).  Like I don’t need to be hospitalized, but they need to do an ultrasound and got me on lots of antibiotics and more steroids than usual and there’s an abscess that keeps breaking (the ultrasound is to see how deep it goes) and it’s in a really bad location for keeping it clean (in fact probably there are very few less sanitary locations) and it’s very painful (I broke a toe last month, this thing hurts more) and stuff just sucks right now.  

At least I know what the mysterious elevated white count was.

I don’t want advice.  On anything.  Please don’t send me any kind of advice.  Not direct, not hinted.  I can’t deal with that right now. 

And don’t be an asshole because I’m not in the mood to coddle assholes, as if I ever am.  But I can’t even make myself give a fuck about being fair to anyone who sends anon hate and the like whenever I have medical problems.  If you haven’t worked out that this stuff is real by now then you have piss-poor comprehension of anything and no compassion at all, and should not be allowed to talk to people online.  (And you don’t have to send me nice things either, just refrain from sending mean things because they’ll just get deleted.)
