Maddie that made me laugh. I live in Barnehurst and when I worked in Asda Bexleyheath he came in there once in full gear to do some shopping.

We also went to the restaurant a couple of times and once he was so p*ssed I sounded more like Elvis than him lol

Hi Dee I hope you get better soon x You never know a drip to the Docs may cheer you up.

I lived in Welling and my Docs was in Bexleyheath Many years ago and one day I was feeling really ill sitting in the docs surgery and I looked up to see Elvis in full gear and rhinestones!!

I thought I had died - but it was the chinese chap that used to run was it the Memphis Inn on Bexleyheath High street.

Certainly took my mind off the pain for a bit I can assure you! lol

Morning Dee,

Missed this yesterday.

Hope it's not shingles although I must say I've had it and it does sound like it.

Don't say you're a misery.. you are not. I am an extremely positive person about all things and you beat me hands down,

((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))

You may feel like a 'Misery Guts', but you are a brave and lovely person. Hope you can get sorted out tomorrow. Your GP should do a home visit, be brave, take a deep breathe and INSIST on one

Love and hugs Anne xx

Hello everybody...yes, I think I will try and get a home visit tomorrow, if I don't feel any better.

The rash is to one side, near my mastectomy scar.. I do have pain, but then right now I have pain in all my bones and joints and muscles because of the side effects of this particular chemo! I am moving around like a hundred year old!!!

Am taking myself off to bed shortly, miserable as sin, bald, sans eyelashes or eyebrows, unless you count four lashes on one eye and two on the other!

Things can only get better (I hope)!

Dee Sorry to hear about this new complication. I had Shingles some years ago and it was very painful - like sciatica of the nerve endings. Is your rash painful?

It is usually on one side only.

Hope you get it sorted out. Love from Liz

Hi Dee, When my mum got shingles I phoned the GP and he sent out a District Nurse who diagnosed. He didn't want her sitting in the surgery waiting room, not that she could as at the time as she was poorly. So I would give your GP a ring in the morning and explain the situation. If you went to the hospital you could be there for hours.

If I were you I would insist that the GP comes out to you tomorrow.

You are at risk of even more infection by going to either the hospital or the GP surgery.

Have you got a forceful friend who could ask for a home visit and not take no for an answer?

Hi all, thanks for advice.

I am to go either to the hospital tomorrow morning or to my GP to get the rash checked out. Apparently I will need Aclovir within 72 hours to prevent it getting worse, if it is shingles.

Think I would prefer to go to the hospital as sitting waiting in a GP's surgery where all sorts of virus's might be around may not be a good idea, considering my immune system is a rock bottom right now but TBH its hard enough even to drag myself out of bed!

Dee when my mum was having Chemo she had shingles, her GP gave her some pills to help with the pain. She wasn't taken into hospital though. I would give your GP a ring.
