Was feeling really sick by 8pm so went to bed with a mug of hot milk but still had two tablets left to take.
Really thought I was going to hurl and last thing I remember was sitting on the side of the bed just waiting to run to the bathroom. Next thing I woke up at 11.45pm feeling a lot better.
The fact I had hardly slept the previous two nights probably helped.
Took the remaining two pills and then lay there for a couple of hours, did wordle and ordered a pill caddy on Amazon with same day delivery. Then got up and made a cup of tea about 2am.
Have 10 tablets to take in the morning so the feeling of wellness is likely to be very short-lived so thought Iād make the most of these windows of opportunity and so I took Tara round the village at 2.45am - not sure if that counts as the latest or earliest walk we have had.
Went back to bed about 3.30am and must have fallen asleep as I came round about 5.30am.
As I did I realised I needed a pee but that thought seemed to immediately tell my bladder to open and so the stream started - I very quickly caught hold of it and legged it to the toilet and then did the biggest wee Iāve done in ages - kidneys must have been working overtime.
Took boxers off and washed them in sink and fortunately when I checked the bed sheets nothing had got through.
First tablet I took this morning was one for the kidneys and now having my crunchy nut cornflakes with an anti-sickness pill chaser.
My Wu Tang Clan name is now āOld Spotty Bastardā It itches like anything though.
Of course Iām self-diagnosing via the internet, but all the symptoms match, and the rash looks exactly the same (as opposed to measles, shingles etc.)
To be honest I donāt know if I had the MMR, but if I did then it was bloody useless. Iāve had mumps twice too - ended up with a head like a rugby ball when I was about 15.
We didnāt have rubella innoculation when I was a child. I got it when I was 10 or so. My sister and I were in London, staying with my dad and his new partner. She was in the early stages of pregnancy. Bad. Very bad. There was no easy way to tell whether I might have passed it to her (symptoms can go all the way from rash and illness to none, and youāre infectious before you get symptoms). Fortunately, in a sense, this was after the 1967 Act and since she was young her GP had no hesitation in recommending a termination, which she had (they did go on to have two more kids).
Got the train down from Edinburgh to Malvern. Didnāt bother to tell, err, anyone, and walked from the station to my parents house.
When I stepped in I saw the blood absolutely drain from my dadās face because as far as he was concerned heād just watched his dead brother walk in the back door.
Not been too bad this weekend.
Plenty of short bouts of nausea with a few sudden heaves though havenāt been sick, and bowel movements are a bit of a struggle.
Spells of runny nose and had a really sort throat last night but that has eased.
Then got up and made a cup of tea about 2am.
