I woke up this morning with spots all over the top of my back, neck and arms?:scared:

 

Went to outpatients who gave me a bloody phone number and have been told to apply antihistamine cream and take piriton and not to come into contact with anyone and to see my doctor tomorrow.

Have you been on a course of antibiotics recently? Specifically anything penicillin based?

 

No.

 

Do the spots itch? Could be an allergic reaction to a new shampoo or soap, or even something youve eaten for the first time?

 

I can't think of anything specifically. Ate some fish and chips on Wednesday evening and thought the fish smelt of amonia (like chemical had been used to clean the fryer and not properly rinsed) and have eaten several smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwiches but have eaten this before with no reaction.

 

At first I thought bed bugs so planned to buy a new mattress today, then thought the dog might have fleas but it hasn't been scratching, and then thougt maybe chicken pox but i've had that when i was young. Woman on the phone said it might be shingles. Then off course menigitis springs to mind which the woman on the phone was clearly asking questions related to.

I think you can check for meningitis by pressing an upturned glass on the spotty area http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/meningitis/Pages/Symptoms.aspx

 

Here's stuff about shingles, although I'm sure you've already checked it out, especially as you've already had chicken pox http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Shingles/Pages/Introduction.aspx

 

Thank goodness for the NHS eh?

 

Interesting, but i'm still none the wiser. Feel really drowsy with a numb head, but I think this could be the piriton which made me feel really tired when I took it on holiday after being eaten alive by mosquitos.

Dose of clap??

 

Seriously though it could be related to the mosquito bites, don't think dengue has got as far north as Ibiza though.Some cases known in continental europe though.

Completely off topic, but fish that smells of amonia is rotting fish! Nothing to do with the fryer being cleaned with chemicals, as they should only be using hot soapy water anyway! If I were you I'd avoid the chippy in question....

I once had both glandular fever and mumps at the same time. The NHS decided after I answered 'yes' to about 20 questions, the other 18 being 'no', that I had swine flu. I ignored their advice to keep myself locked in my room and get someone to buy me Tamiflu, went to an out of hours clinic at Winchester hospital. Quite some achievement given how ill I was, as it was some 30 miles from Bournemouth where I was studying. It was only then that I was correctly diagnosed.

 

The reason I was immediately being shoved in the direction of Tamiflu was because that the year before during the swine flu outbreak, the NHS had received more of the drug than they could shift and it was about to expire. They were trying to clear their stocks as fast as they could and give it to anyone with a slight cough or headache.

 

So no. Not thank goodness for the NHS. I've got problems with my sinuses and they've been a pain in the arse about it ever since it was first diagnosed last December. I'm still waiting for help in fact.

Thanks. I have avoided the said chip shop for 5 years and this was the first time i'd been in since. I will not buy from them again.

Most people with sinus problems find they have a pain in the nose rather than the arse!

 

My sympathies really because I sometimes have sinus problems. There's not a lot that can be done in all honesty but you can always ask your GP for a referral.

Indeed, I'm on my third or fourth referral now...!

Removing one's head from one's arse normally alleviates the pain although I must admit I've never heard of sinus problems causing rectal discomfort. However I'm not a doctor and this may be more common than I know.

 

Seek help.;)

Then, I would respectfully suggest, either the consultants also think there's nothing that can be done (most sinus problems being caused by viruses or fungus) or you need to complain. That said, waiting lists are getting longer again.......

It's an allergy

 

You went to Gib. The runway is about 100 yards from the EU, far too close for comfort. Clearly an allergic reaction to being so close to the numpty Euro Zone

 

 

 

 

or maybe not

If it's itchy and makes you feel numb then it will probably be shingles. I had it a few years ago and it isn't pretty. If it is shingles, then stay away from anyone who hasn't had chicken pox as you can pass that on (but not shingles itself). The chicken pox virus stays dormant in everybody and can sometimes come back as shingles later in life.

Ah, wotsititis. Thats where the main symptom is your c*ck turning orange. Usually affects unemployed teenage boys who eat loads of wotsits and spend a lot of time watching internet porn.

Sounds like a nasty attack of Corteseitis.

Fasciitis? Or would that be fascistitis?

 

That rings a bell. I wish I hadn't googled it now. Just hope I haven't got Necrotizing fasciitis or NF.:lol:

It is probably an allergy to the Labour Party conference
