Urgh over the last week I feel like I am falling apart! My lips are cracked at the sides, my armpit is swollen and has a huge lump in it ( i assume a gland?) and today I woke up with my eyelid three times its normal size and extremely painful!! Its gunky as well. Do you think its a case of just being run down? i feel generally ok , no cold or flu or anything!
The cracked lips may be due to iron deficiency anaemia, but only a blood test with sort that out and for a blood test you need doctors.
You also seem to have a generalised skin infection which seems to be self perpetuating and affecting the sebaceous glands in your armpit and your eye, almost certainly staphylococcal and may be associated with the anaemia (if present).
haha your jokes cheered me up! have been feelig sh**y all day looking like the elephant man!! the kids found it hillarious of course!!
Squad - thank you! I do have amaemia but havent suffered from it for a long while! Prehaps I need to take better care of myself! I dont eat a lot of meat out here due to it being so expensive - prehaps i need a good steak to boost my iron! Ive also been lacking on vitamins, which I guess had iron in them, as they are hard to find - I shall go searching! Thank you!
