    You may as well as stayed in Londinium

      And then she gave me a list of things that might happen and, if any of them do, I need to get up to A&E immediately
      Let's hope it's that. It's taken 6 months for me to get a diagnosis for what a doctor first thought was Shingles but the actual skin specialist thinks it's Seborrhoeic Dermatitis (basically all over Dandruff). It's blooming annoying and itch then disappears for a while before returning a couple of weeks later

            Sounds unpleasant. I'm hoping that even if mine isn't scabies precisely, it's still caused by whatever virus has attacked me and will this be susceptible to the antiviral she prescribed, aciclovir

              VAT return done. Some agents spoken to (of both the letting and the working variety).

              Now off to see if three weeks away from my Portuguese class has resulted in a total loss of what little I had learned.

              It's looks hot and sunny out so I've put a cardigan on.

                Walking, by the way, was accomplished by going to the chemist and back. Hasn't quite closed the green ring, but I'll top it off with mucking about in the kitchen and so on

                  Shingles? Scabies is a mite infection.

                    Yes, slip of the keyboard - as you can tell, I've been Googling a lot of stuff along the lines of "itchy rash"

                      Some of my insect bites on my leg have been found to contain pus. Others are itchy.

                      I don't know when I got them.
