Well then!
Since the last post on Saturday I first went to Boots & spoke to the pharmacist. He gave me tablets and cream which I duly took & applied to no avail. In fact, the rash spread & the next day it covered my hands & fingers.
So I relented to family pressure and on monday morning went to see my doc. He said it was a "severe allergic reaction" to something, gave me strong antihistamine tablets that make you drowsy and an oily liquid you put in the bath that soothes the itchyness. He also signed me off work for the entire week, bless him! He said as well as me being very uncomfortable my colleagues would think I was contagious.
I have been sat at home trying not to scratch since then. My face looks like it has a bad attack of acne and so does my body. Yesterday it spread to my feet, but today it doesn't itch as much and my face is almost back to normal! I have been watching lots of daytime TV and Buffy, and have read loads of LOTR. I called work this morning & said I'll come back tomorrow as my boss made it plain that I'm needed back there. Nick has been looking at me with a weird mixture of sympathy & horror, and keeps muttering about wanting his old girlfriend back. Well, I think I am finally on the mend!
Today I think I'll start writing Christmas cards. How well organised!! It is quite unheard of but I can't really leave the house and I don't have anything better to do.
Hopefully I'll be fully normal by this weekend as I have to wear an almost backless evening dress to a posh do in Jersey and at the moment my back is horrendous. But I missed both parties last Saturday which I was gutted about so I have to go to this one! Otherwise I think I'll be depressed for the whole holiday season.

ooooh sounds nasty! i get rashes and things a lot too, antihistimeeens (I cant spell) are a godsend. I am sure it'll clear up and you'll look lovely in your posh frock at your do!
