    Cellulitis

    Related Topic
    Infectious Diseases
    I have suffered from moderate to severe swelling in legs, ankles and feet for approximately 8 years to which no one can give a diagnosis.

    The swelling sometimes causes cellulitis, as it has today upon waking up. My GP immediately put me on a broad-spectrum antibiotic this morning, my concern is I can't seem to stay awake! I have dozed all afternoon and am struggling to keep my eyes open to type this.

    I have also had a BAD UTI for over a week that I was taking Keflex for and I woke with terrible cellulitis this morning despite the Keflex and I woke 5 days ago with a splitting headache and sore right eye that within hours needed a visit to my go for antibiotic eyedrops, that has cleared now, UTI persists.

    Could the extreme tiredness be because I've had three infections in just over a week and my body is exhausted trying to fight them? Or should I be more concerned?
