Hi Fruit Loops hoping everyone is as good as can be
Mag123 - I wonder if the soreness under your boobs was/is 'thrush/yeast infection' ....
if it sits 'under your boob where the band of your bra fits - it could be, it normally 'just seems to happen' and as soon as you notice it is very sore and red, the skin can even look shinny and is very sore.....
This is from the internet....
A yeast infection on the breasts tends to look like a raised, shiny, red rash in the warm, moist folds of your skin. If the yeast overgrowth becomes more severe, it can also cause your skin to crack and bleed. Like other yeast infections, itching, burning, and pain at the rash site are common symptoms.
To treat keep the area dry and even put a tissue or panty liner there to keep the skin from stomach and boobs from touching and use a 'anti fungal' cream.
I know this is sometime after you post so you may already of treated this - hoping it is easing.
@Violetsniff - I am sorry you are having anxiety - it is a terrible thing and no one knows how debilitating it can be till they have it. Over the last 8 months or so when mostly when on the phone if it is a stressful phone call - I have developed a 'stutter' - I can't believe it - I don't get in it 'everyday life' however I am not mixing with people to trigger it. It really is terrible and if ever my other half or my dear mum was to hear it - well they would be so shocked.
@Grogg - I hope you are keeping well - Thinking of you and all the Fruit Loops and sending lots of love and hugs xxx
It looks like its stop letting me tag - arrrgghhhh
Yes thank you interesting. My dog who isn't very well is on Gabapentin. He prob has arthritis but has bowel problems as well. It's an anticonvulsant as well I think. Medical science has been very helpful to me esp for my son. Hope it helps. I got some Melatonin to help me sleep or it's equivalent from Amazon. It did work. Sleep problems become a habit, it helps reset ones sleep cycle Pilots use it. X
Hi Mag123 I have been using under boob bra liners and find they work well to cushion under boob and bra . I got them from Amazon although I’m sure other places will stock them . Hopefully they could help you with your soreness .
I agree ,I worked at the NHS too and hate dissing it…But the sheer weight of patients means it is trying so hard and has some loopholes because of that.
Northerner Thankyou for my chart!
so yesterday I did this as had to talk through some things by phone with my sister in law as my brother is now very I’ll with his cancer meds,He can’t be treated unfortunately,so it is end of life care she is having to give him….
I wish she would let me help but she seems quite proud…
Dear WhatHappened ..Thankyou sweetie…you sound very knowledgable about anxiety.I am so sorry you have developed this stutter…
Have you looked in to having help with your Mum?
My Dad had day carers and also went to a local Home for an afternoon once a week for socialising.He refused to go in one but he di in the end….although I hated the fact he was much better for it xxxPlease ask your GP at least for some help at home…..xxx

Interesting Lacomtekp . I don’t think we are told of all possible side effects. You are certainly not stupid. Sorry you had to suffer this before convos were fully aware of this possibility. Xx
