A belated Happy New Year to all readers of this blog. Unfortunately I’ve not had a good start to 2012 due to an allergic reaction to antibiotics. On Hogmanay, itchy blotches popped up all over my body. Where clothes touched my skin a new spot instantly appeared. I ended up wearing a sheet and lathering myself in calamine lotion – not a pretty sight. I stayed up for “the Bells” only because I couldn’t sleep and at 5am in the morning I was on the phone to NHS Scotland. A trip to the doctors on New Year’s morning resulted in a week on antihistamines making me feel completely spaced out. Luckily the blotches have now disappeared and I almost feel like my old self again. Here’s wishing everyone a healthy, happy and blotch-free 2012!
