Laura’s story

June 27, 2011

I’ve had the small PC for most of my life but never really got it checked out. A few months ago it got really swollen and started hurting. I went to the ER they wanted to Drain it but i figured it would go away and no reason to awaken the sleeping beast. Antibotics seemed to help alot but I always ran out. I had to go back twice but by that time they to go see a surgeon.

I finally went to the surgeon and he lanced it. Reccommended surgery but I thought I could atleast have my summer. My wound finally closed up but now my infection is just filling up again. I need surgery but I can’t take off work but I can barely work. I own my dog walking company and I’m just so tired. I also have HPV….I mean come on I’m 24 with two medical conditions…I feel alone. It may not be the end of the world and other people may have it worse but this feels like the worst, the end ….I just need some hope..from anybody
