Whacked out from infection

Well I've been whacked out for the past couple weeks and crying all the time thinking it was all from stress but turns out I had an infection in my arm from the surgery of bringing the vein to the surface. Have been having major thyroid issues which closes my throat, then brings on coughing, gagging attacks and then a strange feeling when I breath in that catches your breath and makes you cough. My arm has been staying swollen and still very sensitive. Well the internist put me on a Zpak and my arm got better! Turns out on had an infection in my arm. HD was just pushing it through my whole body and making me whacked out mentally. Looks like my thyroid has to come out. Such is life right.

Sometimes you kick the world's butt. Sometimes the world kicks your butt. That's just the way it is. All Things Must Pass, and hopefully, this pain will leave you soon.

Doing better thanks. Having severe thyroid pain and looks like it will be coming out soon. Plus it causes such a headache as well. Otherwise just washed out as usual.
How are you doing?

Did they say what the infection was in your fistula arm?? Jeez that is awful, I m so sorry to hear it.
Is it thyroid or parathyroid?
Hope you're feeling better soon.
