Back to work and 'riba-rash'?
Just got home from my 1st shift this week and all went fairly well. Still got this lingering sense that 'somethings about to happen', its hard to explain but i took a valerian tablet and that settled me for a bit. Gonna be working 3 shifts this week so my mind should be kept occupied.
I got a phone call from the nurse today concerning anti-depressants, since she is only covering for the week and the consultant is new, not met him yet, she would prefer that my own nurse spoke to the psychiatrist i saw on monday. I felt a bit fed up about this since the 'happy pills' take approx 4 weeks to build up in your system, so i wanted to start asap. I'll get by till monday though, get stuck in at work and i wont have time to dwell on anything.
As for the rash.. ok this is odd. I had a bath today and when i was getting dried i noticed this rash across my tummy, like lots of small red spots bunched together. I've started to use baby lotion on my face after shaving so i tried this on my tummy, lotion that is.. not shaving. Having just had a look when i got home the rash seems to have vanished.. not even a trace, either this baby lotion is damn good or it was just a reaction to the warm water.. but i'll keep an eye on it.

Hi Alan
I've had several rashes & skin irritations – it seems quite common on tx. They do seem easier to 'keep down' with regular use of lotions – rather than trying to stop once they’ve set in. Someone recommended aqueous cream - available from chemists as it is free from perfume, not as expensive as creams & lotions and can be used instead of soap I am told. This can be used all over the body.
I got so itchy on my face and eyes that I have ended up with a complete regime - cleanse, tone and moisturise. I hate to be bothered to do this rigmarole every day but I have to say it does work and I like being free of the continual itching.
Hope you have some joy soon in sorting out anti-depressants
All the best
Ron
