Hi all,

Went to the dr yesterday... my toother infection is also an ear infection now too (and I got a lecture on how I have to go to the dentist... yeah yeah too bloody expensive). I also have mastitis. Woke up yesterday morning with a red, hot lumpy booby. And it HURTS. And my head hurts, and all my muscles ache. BLEH... It's killing me feeding her but as its my left I have to because nothing ever comes out when I express on the left. Am on antibiotics, but have had a fantastic fever when gt up to 39.4 yesterday morning, then 38.8 yesterday evening, and then 39.6 last night at 11pm. I sat in the bath for 45 minutes yesterday, and last night at 11pm, which seems to be the only thing that brings it down. Am dosing myself up on panadol now to try and keep it at bay, as I don't handle fevers well, I just feel dead but with Shel at work I've gotta look after Jazz (otherwise I'd just go to bed LOL). If it hasn't cleared by Friday I've got to go into hospital for IV antibiotics and to clear it out... I think its getting better though, it still hurts and is lumpy but the redness is going so fingers crossed hospital won't be necessary.

Jazz is suffering in sympathy with me too apparently, when I start feeling half dead she screams like she's feeling what I'm feeling.

WIll come back for personals, but just wondering I think I read a few people have had mastitis... is there anything you did to clear it out? Its so sore and hard on the outside of my left boob... should i be positioning her in maybe a football/clutch hold to get her to empty the boob properly?
