Its not ringworm anymore...its a bleddy bacterial infecion!! [London, UK]




yeap....according to the doc at the Victoria NHS Walk-in Centre here in London...

I do not have ringworm...and it didn't look like eczema or dermatitis to him either...indeed, he suspected i have a bacterial infection...great....just great news really....

i was wondering about the two good-looking worms for the past couple of days though, with all that pus and whatnot...

learnt something new....when there is pus....they're called weeping wounds, that's what they are....

i have no idea if its the three times a day of Ringworm No More that has caused this remarkable transformation but i can safely say that ill be attempting to get my money back on these products from Forces of Nature...i mean....they didnt work after all...

well, it wasn't even ringworm you say? misdiagnosis no?

for more than five months now...i've not had any pus oozing without end from the wounds.....and during that time, three doctors confirmed that i was suffering from the fungal affliction...

so, somehow and someway.....the two ringworm wounds took on a new form......quite pleasant really......they were swelling......some mild stinging pain....all round discomfort in the self-wrapped and girlfriend-wrapped cotton gauze dressings.......




Major thanks to this funny bloke at Gees Chemist...yesterday it was.....when he referred me to the NHS Walk-in Centre...told me how they admit non-UK citizens......

Had called a private practice that was round the corner from where I was staying...near Pimlico station...cos im no UK citizen...the doctor had to treat me as a private patient...which would have meant £60!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yea...so....the doctor's secretary/nurse/administrative staff suggested the pharmacist....lovely people so far in London...practically every single person ive interacted with.....

i suppose.....thanks are due to the British taxpayers....was only charged a whopping £7.20 for all my troubles.......



Had antibiotics prescribed....the exact thing i was aiming to avoid by turning to traditional and alternative medicines........my gut and liver are not appreciative either but i figured.....perhaps it would be prudent to take action now and avoid gangrene developing on both my arm and leg......



spiffy dressing the nurse glommed onto my leg....



even fancier stuff here on my arm....was not allowed any showers though....have to keep wounds dry but im going in again tomorrow as instructed....hope things will be more favourable tomorrow.............
