Have you tried tea tree oil? It is available in most health food stores and even some drug stores. Research has shown it to be an effective alternative to antibiotic treatments for MRSA.

I hope that this is something you haven’t tried as of yet, and as such, something that might assist in your healing.

as always, my best to you and yours.

It hurts like a sonofabitch, but when it hurts too much squeeze the utter living hell out of it (or have someone else do it)… A lot of the pain is from the pressure it’s putting on your skin. Hurts like hell to have it squeezed, but that’ll subside and feel better after. We discovered that once you open it the first time, if you keep the actual opening covered with neosporin and a band-aid, it won’t close up between then and the time you have to drain it next, and that is at least SOME of the pain you don’t have to deal with.

Once you have it, it’ll flare randomly for a few months. It looks like a zit at first, but it will end up within a few hours with a red area the size of a quarter. Lance it quickly and keep draining it every few hours. It will keep it from getting huge and horrible.

The first one, I ended up in the hospital and let them treat it. I have a quarter size scar from them slicing me open and packing it, and it took months to heal. The subsequent ones we treated at home by the aforementioned method, and they were fully healed and gone inside of a week. It flared for about 6 months, then went dormant. I haven’t had an outbreak of it in over a year. I’m still carrying it – it doesn’t leave without extraordinary measures to purge it from your bloodstream. But it’s actually pretty manageable as long as you catch it quickly.

Too much crap going on in the world as it is. Not having you down in the dumps as well.

You could even set up the D&D minis in it, and play out the invasion of a hive of Dire Bees.

No, on second thought, that’s really not better than banging your head against the wall.

Well, maybe there’s some thin comfort to be had in that, though you have to wring pus out of your finger, at least you’re not juicing a cat’s ass.
