I hate to say it Griffe...but if you have red streaks and swelling, you'll be going to the hospital unwillingly in the very near future if you don't go on your own very, very soon! Those are VERY serious symptoms...not being able to see is also VERY serious. I'm talking permanent loss of sight, loss of limb and possibly life. Red streaks are a sign of the infection being in your blood and traveling...when it gets to the heart it's very bad news, and from the arm it's not so very far to travel to get to the heart.

No matter how horrible the hospital is for you, you have to find a way to go...and VERY soon...as in NOW.
