so i ended up at the A&E last night. the rash got so bad that all under my chin was one giant swollen red mark. the spots are multiplying and they are incredibly itchy. i'm on a different cream and and taking phaenergan to calm it down a bit but its not getting much better. after taking blood samples and giving me a stronger steroid in tablet form i slept for a short amount of time and then they sent me home. i'm booked in to see a dermatologist in the morning to see if we can work out what it is and start treatment. i'm miserable and have lost my apetite but i'm making myself eat because i know i need to keep up my strength. i feel really dehydrated too.
andy was working all night and i haven't been able to see him. he has been messaging me every few hours to see how i am and if i need anything. i need hugs but i don't want to risk giving whatever i have to him. tho the docs don't think i'm contagious, i just don't want to risk it.
i think its bedtime... the phenergan has just started to kick in and i'm getting drowsy. it puts me in a really odd headspace. i'll update tomorrow when i get home from the docs. wish me luck!

Good luck with finding out what's causing it! I have a friend who is allergic to something on the physics lawn at UNSW. It makes her face swell up like a Buffy vampire. Luckily she studied Arts so didn't have to go to the Physics Lawn all that much but its was really weird that thats the ONLY place its ever happened and it happened a few times. Anyway best of luck!
