I think you're all probably right.


I've got a doc's appointment in a mo, I'll explain that it's the second case
of the same plant. Best to check up while I've still got two arms


[what's that that's just fallen off?]


The Japonica's going just as soon as I can get the stump out - maybe it's
time to pay someone else to do it, pesky thing.


Piriton.


zzzzzzzzz


When I was asking about mozzie treatments someone told me that you can get
anti-histamine tabs that don't knock you out. If I take Piriton I'm gone
for a good two hours or more!


There are lots and lots of anti-histamine tablets that do not knock
you out but I never found one that I like and that worked quickly and
that did not have worse side effects. For occasional use, piriton are
very cheap and very fast as long as you do not then go for a gunfight
or try to play rugby or drive a car. I only use them in emergencies.
I always take them with me when travelling in case I end up in a dusty
hotel room.
Other tablets I have tried sometimes take a day or two to get going
and then give me racing heartbeat; it is grim to try to sleep with
that.
