Just googles shingles seein what it is.  two weeks back I started to do some serious itching causing something of an irritating rash..  hadn't a clue what it was so googled it..

 

Apparently I had, have hives..  clears up during the day then starts again during the evening..  at first I thought maybe insect bites, then retraced my steps as anything new I'd done..

New washing powder and maybe working in that dusty shed a week or so back..

 

anyways its an allergic reaction manifesting in an itchy rash...   I'm not sure if its the washing powder or the dust.. I found out that anti histamines get shut of it..  or help with symptoms.  

 

Tell you what though, that first couple of days was a nightmare, couldn't sleep for wanting to scratch myself senseless.. I tried not to scratch but that was even worse.  I was almost tempted to run to the shed get some heavy duty sandpaper and rub myself down with that..

 

anyway, got some hayfever tablets, they have anti histamine in em and am on one a day..  the worst of it has cleared but I still sense something trying to break out..  In a couple of weeks I expect it to be clear..  thank god..
