Narses2's Blog - or what I'm slowly making progress on

NARSES2 · April 14, 2015, 07:35:40 AM

No progress. Combination of things, for some reason I'm not sleeping and am thus knackered. I had a nightmare on Sunday night (I blame Poldark) and I really don't get them. Woke up screaming it was that bad ! Or I think I woke up, I may have dreamt I woke up

Then had a modelling related dream last night ! Resin not Chrissie Brinckley . Really strange I don't normally suffer from this, might be the change in the weather and the bedroom needs more air ? Other things will encroach latter this week, so hopefully work will move forward on the started projects at the weekend. Going to start my Bombay as well. We shall see

Have you started any medications lately? When I went to Iraq the docs told us we would get weird dreams from the malaria pills. I never had any. I felt cheated.

Weird dreams? You can have some of mine if you like, I manage 2-3 each night!

"I'm a Gnu

No, my meds haven't changed in years, and yes I do see the doc on a regular basis. Better night last night anyway

It has now become clear why I was feeling a little strange earlier in the week.

I've got Chickenpox !

Forced a few changes on a few plans but should be ok for MK

Yup I had a long chat with the doc today. Thanks Nils

Hell's bells, Chris, that's not good!

I hope the medics have given you some stuff to zap it. Didn't you get it as a kid? I thought that you could only get it once, and then you were immune for life.

So thats a gallon of Calamine lotion required for the next week or two.

Just try not to scratch when they itch as that just spreads them, feel rough for a few days as the meds kick in, try to get through the itchy/scratcy period then start to feel ok but look like mottle camoflage scheme as the spots dry up, heal up and fade away.

What really helps is sea salt in a hot bath...dries them out and reduced itching, also very good for skin recovery.

Captain Canada · April 18, 2015, 06:01:09 AM

Ouch ! You're supposed to contract that as a kid, so that you were too young to notice how itchy you really are, and now to old to recall how itchy you really was ! lol. Hope it feels better soon. I've had the delirium sleeps due to high fevers a few times....strange, deep and dark, that's for sure.

PS-I've got a couple of small dents in my forehead from scratching them off as a kid

Everyone I tell bursts out laughing

Only had Measles and German Measles as an infant and that was it. I've been given a five day course of anti biotics which you have to start within 24 hours of the first spot appearing apparently.

An itch is annoying, itching all over sucks!! I had chickenpox when i was 5 years old but i can sure remember that... nowadays i'm a gardener and i get something of the sort because of pine tree caterpillars... it can drive you nuts!

Better not slack out on the meds on this one... Get well soon!
