    Thanks for the replies. Just after I typed that, the GP came out and fitted me in early.

    The plan is I stop taking the medication and get a new prescription next week. Then if it happens again we know it is the new meds.

    Apparently I'm not looking swollen so just feeling it is OK. And hallucinations will wear off. I have taken an anti-histamine, on the doc's advice, and should recover.

    As for DH. I was sent home yesterday, driven home by a manager, and he wouldn't walk to my work to pick up my bike. Didn't tell me DS was ill and had slept at nursery, so I was unprepared for him not wanting sleep at normal time and being up 12-4am. Asked me to take DS to nursery and pick him up today. So I'm heading out in just under 2 hours to get him. I am quite cross with DH. He doesn't get that I'm really, really ill. Because... he's tired as he has had a lot on with work, including flying to Austria so getting up at 3.30am on Tuesday. I have had DS who doesn't sleep well, full-time work and now psychosis. I wish I could just quit work!

    Pft. I still feel like I have swollen hands, just I'm on a big keyboard now not a little one on my phone! Feet and legs are a bit weird too.

    I'm quite cross at DH though. I need to live near a support network. We agreed this when the migraines started. OK so DH can't find a job in Yorkshire, but I need support, and he gives the minimum he can (made dinner last night, but didn't hurry home so I had to stagger to the doctors' on my own). I'm going to push an Australia move again! No matter where in Aus I am, there's someone I "know" within 20 minutes who would probably help when I'm really ill! I... actually, I probably do have that here. There are people I Couldc all. But they are allbusy and have their own problems. I ould feel bad as they've not said to call.

    Hi Ryn it's Deb my love. Honey I hope that you can get to a hospital. I don't know what meds you're on but I am concerned at your neuro involvement. I think you need a ct scan (head), bloods etc. Is your blood pressure normal? I am sending you strength and support. I am here if I can do anything from across the pacific. Big cuddles xxxx
