I am due to see the Ear, nose & throat surgeon in January, been suffering with chronic sinusitis all year, maybe even years they think but this year by far the worst.
Last few days ive had a temperature, ear & sinus pain, shivers etc.... he thinks I have a bacterial infection so im on anti bs again. I am back panicking now that im at risk of meningitis. Been doing so well about those fears but now ive an infection im worrying. Shouldn't' I be reasured now im on antibiotics?? you would think wouldn't u.
He asked how I was and said I had spoken to my husband about what could possibly of happened. I told him that I hadn't slept in about a week and he asked why, I told him I was scared about the HIV test and he said to me that the risk is about 1% through sexual contact and thats *if* the person has HIV +. He said he was once jabbed by a neddle that had been used to test someone for HIV, he had to be tested and he was fine and that was blood to blood contact where the risk is higher but still slim.
I feel so much more relaxed about the test now. It certainly has taught me a huge lesson, 1 that the grass isn't greener on the other side and 2 that I will never ever get myself that drunk again.
Thanks for all your kind words this week, lets hope I now relax about the test and hopefully feel better in a day or so now im on anti bs.
