I thought I going down with the flu or some sort of bug on Thursday afternoon ; shivers , headache and complete loss of appetite. Sure signs that summat is up . 
My son had asked me to stay to dinner too.. There's nothing I like better than to have both 'my boys' to myself . Sadly I could only manage a few mouthfuls before heading home, bath and bed.  Temperature 39.2 C . It was while I was in the bath that I noticed that the small rash that was there had spread. Oh dear. Could there be a connection ? I'm quite used to mosquito bites spreading  , but now , at the end of the summer , and indoors ? 
Spent Friday in bed , sleeping , drinking , resting and documenting everything. ( I have to write everything down otherwise I forget) Also spent ages paying my bills on line - a ginormous task , given the thumping headache, fever and inability to focus. ( poor me ) 
My son advised me to have it checked out. Easier said than done as most clinics close for the weekend. ( you are not supposed to be ill on weekends or public holidays ) 
We do have an amazing health advice service . You call a number and get to speak to a medical professional and to cut a long story short , I was given the number of my nearest clinic which I phoned and got an appointment an hour later 09:10 . 
So, I've been given penicillin to take 3 times a day for 10 days. Should it get worse , I have to go to emergency at the local hospital and  intravenous antibiotics to prevent blood poisoning.  Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
TTFN - all healing thoughts most welcome !
btw Doc diagnosed rash as erysipelas .
