dune Posted 25 September, 2011 Share Posted 25 September, 2011 I woke up this morning with spots all over the top of my back, neck and arms? 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.

scotty Posted 25 September, 2011 Share Posted 25 September, 2011 Do the spots itch? Could be an allergic reaction to a new shampoo or soap, or even something youve eaten for the first time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dune Posted 25 September, 2011 Author Share Posted 25 September, 2011 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.

bridge too far Posted 25 September, 2011 Share Posted 25 September, 2011 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.

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!

Crazy Diamond Posted 25 September, 2011 Share Posted 25 September, 2011 Thank goodness for the NHS eh? 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.

bridge too far Posted 25 September, 2011 Share Posted 25 September, 2011 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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge too far Posted 25 September, 2011 Share Posted 25 September, 2011 Indeed, I'm on my third or fourth referral now...! 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....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raging Bull Posted 26 September, 2011 Share Posted 26 September, 2011 Shingles Yep, it's adult chicken pox, does it itch, if so would be 99% sure that's it. It's generally brought on by stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 26 September, 2011 Share Posted 26 September, 2011 It's an allergy You went to Gib. The runway is about 100 yards from the EU, far too close for comfort.

ohwhenthesaints Posted 26 September, 2011 Share Posted 26 September, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
