I know I probably sound ridiculous, but the other night, my cat scratched around my eye area after I bent down to move her (clearly not happy having to move her off the bed), now it wasn't bad, just a scratch above my eyelid and under it. Bled very little, and I cleaned it was water and put some antiseptic cream on it.
Now, I suffer with really bad anxiety, health specifically and my depression has been quite bad at the moment too. I'm 32 woman, hypothyroid/pcos. I don't drink or smoke or anything.
Last week or so I've had stomach cramps and loose bowel movements, then too hard so as I said in another forum, maybe that's IBS related to other issues.
I have been taking Propranolol for the past year for anxiety, but for the past few months, I've reduced to just 10mg a day, and past few days been taking it every 2nd day, cause I eventually want to come off for good unless I need it. Anyway, I had bad stomach/bowel cramps and toilet troubles tonight (not terrible, just loose), I felt cold earlier, and warm tonight, not sure if that's due to tiredness as I have a bad sleeping pattern anyway, or if its coming from a bacterial infection? Stomach or if that scratch from my cat has caused a serious infection? She's a house cat, so she doesn't go outside. She had a bad infection/or cold or something about a month ago, but she got all the medication and antibiotics to clear that up when in the vets, and has been all better since.
I know I'm rambling, but I have a huge fear of Sepsis and infections, and getting a scratch or stomach bug/infection anything makes me panic that it's something deadly serious like Sepsis.
So yeah, I've been worrying about my messed up bowel movements and the scratch from my cat, and about Sepsis from something like that?
