It's never lupus

[digitaldiscipline]

This is the considered opinion of the specialist after examining the CT scan of my lymph nodes and the rest of my lower skull, and seeing what his needle sucked out of my head on three spelunking sorties.

It is, however, possibly some kind of anaerobic bacteria, so I've been issued a third kind of antibiotic after my needle biopsy, from which, the doc extracted a nontrivial amount of very-reassuring pus and a core sample, which will be summarily split up for culture development, as well as lymphoma and non-lymphoma testing, the results of which, I should have in a week to a week and a half, during which time, we'll see what the newest bug killers do (cephalexin = bupkis; clarithromyacin = abatement of inflamed secondary lymph bits, and once I ran out on Friday morning, the WGSoMM[1] got markedly more inflamed and tender and warm to the touch).

Horray not cancer?

I am glad to see that is not likely cancer. If you would like, when I get home tonight, I can send you the info on the probiotics that were a damn miracle when they purposely nuked the fuck out of my GI track in Jan. I went from doubled over with stomach cramps to fine, if a little queasy in 30 minutes.

If/when e. colischwitz takes place, I may call on your expertise. Neither of the previous rounds had anything more than mildly adverse downstream effects (I couldn't even have been an extra in the beans scene from Blazing Saddles)
