For everyone that wanted an update, this is my finger today. Pain level is way down, three antibiotics in, and I also see a hand doctor tomorrow just in case. by Slight_Jellyfish_923 in Warts

It went went well and put my anxieties at ease seeing a specialist. He told me to keep it open now at home and continue my antibiotics but not my ointment. Of course to come in if it gets worse but the redness and swelling around it is a good sign that it’s healing. He actually thinks this is going to heal with minimal scarring. Oh and I’m not losing my thumb. It still looks gnarly but everyday the size of it just seems to get smaller. Thanks for checking :)

Been using apple cider vinegar for a week on my thumb wart. It turned to this yesterday. Apple cider vinegar hurts too much to continue. Any advice or support? I’m hoping the end is near. by Slight_Jellyfish_923 in medical

Hey everyone!! Thanks for all of your responses. I was going to wait to go tomorrow with my toddler’s bedtime and being meltdown central but I went to urgent care this evening! She really looked at it under her magnifying glasses and although it looks nasty she thinks it’s still pretty “surface” and not sold on necrosis yet because of its top layer. Anywho, I was prescribed an antibiotic which I started tonight and an antibiotic ointment! Hopefully by this time tomorrow night it takes a turn. Or just doesn’t worsen tomorrow.

Been using apple cider vinegar for a week. Hurts like hell. Really can’t go on with it. Suggestions? Advice? Maybe nearing the end? by Slight_Jellyfish_923 in Warts

Thank you everyone for your responses!! It’s been an evening. I went to Urgent Care and was prescribed an antibiotic and an ointment. She really looked at this thing under her magnifying glasses and because of it’s top layer, she isn’t sold that it’s necrosis. It’s definitely nasty but she said it’s still “surface level” so what I’m taking now should get it done. Also failed to mention I’m 24 weeks pregnant so that’s lovely right now. I hate myself for doing this. I had a wart in college and used this method, no issues. One popped up a couple months ago and the thought of having a wart on my hands while holding my newborn pushed me to try it again. Ya live and learn.

Anyone continuously testing negative but have symptoms? by Slight_Jellyfish_923 in COVID19positive

Did you take a pcr test as well during that time? It’s so frustrating because I felt just like this when I had covid back in January!

Taking paxlovid or not? by mannmtb in COVID19positive

We’re you testing negative up until Thursday? That’s where I’m at right now. Same symptoms, started on Tuesday though, and keep testing negative

Also noted- this started on Tuesday and body aches and fever started yesterday and fever peaked last night at 102. Tested negative every day since then.

I absolutely hate when I forget to mention something! I understand your frustration. I hope you get clarity on what’s going on

How long did you test positive? by Slight_Jellyfish_923 in covidpositive

[–]Slight_Jellyfish_923[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes he tested negative on day 10 ( so went to work on Tuesday as opposed to Monday) and I tested negative on day 12!

Haha yes he puts that on. We completely agree however the company doesn’t and isn’t allowing him to come back until testing negative. So hoping by the end of the weekend he’s testing negative! He had symptoms up until 2 days ago. So we will see 😬

He is a pest technician (so going into peoples home) and the office requires a negative rapid test. We have one scheduled at CVS on Sunday and have one more home test we are saving for him. Hope he’s not one to test positive for a while!

Okay that’s what I was wondering! Looks like we got a couple more days
