feeling like crap

[marksworld]

i have in the last 6 months developed a bad rash that keeps apearing up on my arms and shoulders, not to itchy but if its bad it creates a bit muscle pain like after you have done some heavy lifting , when the pain sets in the next day. i have been to me local docs 5 times now and they have told me it is probably an alergy( no contagious) to something or other. the thing is i haven\'t changed any of my normal habits .
yestaday was the worst though, my knees seemed to be sore so i had a look and the bloody rash had decided to move down to them and my arms were bad. when i got home and was getting changed i noticed they were realy swollen up so off i trots to the docs, again!, i got told the same thing as previous times but they put me on anti biotics, just hayfever tablets, then sent me on my way. with all this happening i missed out on doing some on the side joinery. to make matters worse as the night went on my knees started siezing up and the tablets started giving me very hot flushes. i had a bad nigts sleep and then at 5am had to go out on funeral work. legs are still aching and i have to still help carry on funerals and i have one to conduct this afternoon.
just thought i would share this with the site lol, not looking for sympathy as i know i will not get it lol

Mark, If you were looking for sympathy you will find it in the dictionary between Sh*t and Syphilis.
Seriously though, you shoulk be asking your doc to send you for a patch test to find out what you have become allergic to. I used to get a rash on my shoulders and arms and it got really itchy at tiimes. The doc sent me to the hospital and they did the tests. It turned out I was alergic to birds feathers. We inherited the mother in laws cockateel and We still have the bloody thing,but I have anti hestimine tablets and keep the bloody bird in another room.

Try a diferent doctor mark or have a run in to hospital and express your concerns..he canna just say your alleric to summit and leave it at that as it doesn\'t get to the root of the problem.
.....What if ya alleric to beer and lynard
