The weight's back on the plateau. More exercise required, I think.

I've had a series of bad nights, waking up in the small hours with a rash round my knees and elbows. I tried anti-itch creams, emollient baths to no avail, and got up for a couple of hours until it got quiet. Booked myself in to the doctor, thinking it was some sort of ecxema, and took photos to show what it was like, since it wouldn't be visible in the surgery. Then I recognised it as urticaria, triggered by the warmth of the duvet, looked it up, and found I could treat it with Benadryl, and there was no possibility of working out what actually started the bout. I had a good night last night. Last time I had it it was brought on by sunlight (on a day when there was a major, and unexpected, solar flare!)

Sorry to hear about your fire, Claire.
