[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 140524, member: 487"] Mate I''ve had a rotton allergy for the whole last month, actually went to hospital today to see what they thought of my awesome rash, I've had chills and a fever a few times over the last 10 days also. Seems to be a lot of weird allergies getting around. I got bitten by 2 ticks at Stuart Town and was starting to think I had Lyme or Scrub typhus, but the Docs say just a bad allergy. Got an appointment with a dermatologist soon...... hopefully......... I'll get it sorted............ soon. I think I've got a virus getting around too, chills, shivers, sore back and stuff and the allergy is probably separate. Driving me mad too so I feel for you mate. Only thing that has stopped the itchies has been half a Zyrtec antihistamine every 48 hours. It's a good long lasting one but makes me a bit tired, better than itching though. It's a very benign drug in small doses and works well. Been very lucky with the Leaches and have managed to not get bitten yet. Hope you feel better soon GT, these things can really get to you a bit when they go on for a while. [/QUOTE]
