I *may* be dying.....

Or I may be exagerrating slightly...but today I woke up with a bit of a horrible shock that for once was even worse than the alarm clock going off at stupid o'clock (although it did indeed go off at stupid o'clock, which  today was 7.30am). Bleary eyed I stumbled to the bathroom to brush my teeth, raised my eyes to the mirror and got a rather unpleasant swift wake up!! My face was (and still is) covered with a rash, small red blotches everywhere! Now....I'm only allergic to one thing that I'm aware of, and that's nickel, and last time I looked my pillow wasn't made of that, I've not eaten, touched, slept on or washed with anything new so apart from being not particularly gorgeous to look at, I have absolutely no idea what has caused this.

A quick browse through NHS Direct gave me options of allergy, measles or meningitis, which had me more panicky than anything else - especially after the unexplained bruise appearance the week before last :o(

So...I am now stuck with a face that despite a strong anti-histamine tablet this morning is still blotchy, red, hot and ridiculously itchy! I even have a small lump on my eyelid that is reminding me of Woogy from Something About Mary, not a film character I've ever fancied looking like to be fair!

I have a wedding in 9 days and really don't fancy having to layer on an inch of foundation to cover up the mess that is currently my face :o(  Oh well, guess worse things happen at sea and all that..........they just don't happen to my face *sulky face*
