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.

I have Zirtek (sp?) which don't knock me out. I must see if I can start a
gunfight later, when I've finished the game of rugby.

I also have cellulitis and Flucloxacillin, and a flea in the ear from Doc
who says not to touch that plant again, cos next time I might be doing
Nelson impressions.

Kiss me, Hardy.

I didn't even like the bl**dy thing much.
