Thanks, Jp. 

I had a heavy day, yeserday. I removed the timbers that the 
cold watertank used to sit on, replaced all the fibreglass that
had been taken up and strewn about during the previous owners'
various wiring and plumbing jobs, and fetched down a kitchen
door and a home sun-tanning thing. The attic is now completely
clear, ready for the insulation fitters. (Yay!) Today I feel like I've
been beaten up, and my knee hurts. I'm going to have to take it 
easy for a few days. 

Re your rash: it's not measles, is it?

I had a busy day as well. First paid days work since breaking the ankle 
(trouble is now my Incapacity Benefit and PHI payments stop). Lots of 
walking at least four times around the pitch at Sunderland and to and fro 
from the trucks and up to the commenatry position. I was expecting the 
foot and ankle to complain but it's actually reduced the swelling 
considerably, presumably the excercise has effectively pumped the fluid up 
my leg. It is a bit tender in places but I'm not over concerned about 
that.

Nope, definitely not but I had that when I was a nipper.

I'll come clean. My name is Jp and I have rosacea. The skin on the face 
- in my case, in the area I'd have whiskers if I were a cat, gets red 
and lumpy with some bright red bumps (It's acne for grown-ups, and so 
minus some of the excessive skin oils and gushing hormones which turn 
teenagers' acne bumps into those awful "zits".)

There are all sorts of triggers, and I think mine was a stupid sunburn 
in August followed by a sudden upsurge in the amount of coffee I was 
drinking last month and it's faded quite a bit in the last couple of 
days. I think it got worse by my trying to reduce the inflammation with 
steroid creams and regular acne treatment makes it worse, too. I had the 
same thing two years ago at the same time of year. My husband was sure 
it was red wine, but I (thank Heaven!) had some on Friday and it's been 
getting better since then, just using plain moisturiser and dumping a 
new powdery concealer.

Isn't this discussion just fabulous - shingles, infected wound, a sore, 
a psychedelic contusion and now acne! Bring on the scabs, the pustules 
and the festering boils!!
