Lads, I have MASTITIS!  As well being sore in the boob area, I've also been having bad nausea and a painkiller-resistant headache.   Actually, it's starting to get better now. I think I've had it for about a week, but I was ignoring it because I thought it was something else (gross) that would go away on its own.   I went to the doctor yesterday and she gave me antibiotics.  I don't like taking them, but I will when I have to.  Otherwise, who knows.  My boob would fall off or something.    This is another gross little thing about motherhood.   I never even knew humans got mastitis.  Previously I had only ever heard of it on ads aimed at cow farmers in Ireland.  There would be some sporting star praising the virtues of their product in fending off mastitis, fluke AND liver fluke!   Actually, I must be misremembering that ad.  How would a product work on mastitis and some complaint* of the liver?  It's horrible anyway.  But I would like to see some old Irish farming ads, if I could find them.

Haha, googling around to see if I could find some ads about farmyard mastitis and liver fluke, on the first page I found a post from me on a forum talking about those ads, in November 2006!  That version of me couldn't have imagined that future me would be looking back at her post whilst recovering from mastitis.

*parasite, it turns out.
