Chin up, hope you’re feeling back to normal as soon as.
Told you Turan food wasn’t all that 
Hope your flares soon unflare.
Christ I’m annoyed with myself now. Went to my pill dispenser, looking to fill it with extra steroids, and saw that I had given myself a steroid in my evening pill cocktail instead of the right drug. This explains both the flare up and the fact that I couldn’t sleep. WAC
It does strike me that packaging for pills is poor. There are many that come in very similar packaging, and you have to squint to read the label. I guess you’re meant to leave them in the boxes, but that’s not convenient if you have loads to portion out every week. Some kind of colour stripe system like resistor codes would be good.
Pill box?
God no.
When you’re on loads of pills you decant the week’s worth so you remember to take them all.
You’ll find out in 30 years…
I meant one of those partitioned things that holds a week’s worth, split out into days.
You sort them out at the start of the week, then when you roll in pissed, you just have to know what day it is*.
*Not foolproof, I realise

Today I’ve had three consultant dermatologists getting very excited (creaming themselves?) about my skin. The young one, head of department and guru professor, never seen anything like it. Lucky me. They were ready to get their scalpels out there and then, I think.
so have they discovered you really are an alien species. Was it the lizard scales that gave it away.
You should have pointed them to the knives thread on here, I am sure someone could have recommended a hand crafted Japanese flaying knife for a proper job.

Those famous words,
“Open wide, this won’t hurt”
Only last as long as the benzodiazapene, after which the dozen stitches, holes, flaps of skin, titanium inserts and black eyes remind you why bastards at school became dentist’s!
Well the Wench is now out of hospital, although we’re still a long way from any level of diagnosis as to what the hell has been going on. The most coherent theory so far is that she actually suffers from porphyria, which is a bit of a fucker but would explain an awful lot. The challenge is that it’s a bugger to get an emphatic diagnosis, and it was already too far after the start of this episode to take relevant samples when the idea was first mentioned.
As seems to be a recurring theme, the nursing staff in the hospital were excellent, and the doctors were almost entire a useless pile of cunts.

Sorry to hear this Jon. Best wishes for her quick recovery and either that it never comes back or, if it does, they get swiftly to the bottom of what it is. I’m afraid it’s pot luck with doctors. If you find a good one try and hang onto them. Since it’s France can’t you just shop around for another one ?

The plus side is that if there’s another episode, we know exactly what to tell them to run the tests for the moment we get to A&E, because it really doesn’t show up I any of the standard blood / urine tests
This is quite regularly my experience. I am pleased that your other half has escaped hospital. Great place to have something known dealt with as there is a plan. Not so good for a place to be when there isn’t yet a plan.
