If you've had chickenpox, the virus lies inactive in nerve tissue near your spinal cord and brain. Years later, the virus may reactivate as shingles. If you have had chickenpox at any time in your life, it would be worth looking at.

See a doctor. None of us can diagnose this properly.

True.
Trying to get health care here in Cowboyville Arizona ain't easy!
I do have an appointment with another new PCP (they keep leaving, damn it!) in May.
I must say that the cluster of 'bumps' never spreads.
Both my Mother and DH had Shingles. so I do know what it's like.
I didn't get Chickenpox until I was almost 30 years old ... it was the worst I've ever felt in my life, then and now!
 
The new house is coming along. I still have a ton of small things to fix around here (the kitchen is a mess, I'm waiting for my new oven to be delivered and I still have the old oven disassembled in the middle of the kitchen, there are a couple tiles missing behind the water cilindre, I'm waiting for the electrician to finish fixing one of the electrical circuits, the bathroom door doesn't close...), but, it's getting better :laugh:

Also bought a cordless vacuum cleaner. I hate vacuuming and I'm hoping this will turn it into a more bearable task :laugh:

Highly recommended. Since I bought a cordless, vacuuming is no longer such a chore. Dyson is probably the best brand. Its light as a feather and really sucks up dirt. Its also adaptable to hand held for cleaning stairs or car interiors. I don't know the brand you have bought. It looks very different from mine. How does it charge up? I did buy a cheaper brand to use upstairs but it proved to not be anywhere near as good as Dyson.

I have hardwood floors and used to end up sweeping them rather than get the heavy old vacuum cleaner out. I now hoover anything up in seconds that appears. Its also fine on carpets.

This is a Roidmi which is made by Xiaomi, I'm not sure if you can get them in the UK but it's a chinese brand, they actually have a really good reputation and their latest robot and cordless vacuums are on par with Dyson in terms of ease of use, autonomy time and suction power, not sure about durability though (I'm hoping mine will last 5 years at least). I thought about getting a Dyson, but they're really over my price range and I don't like that you have to continuously press the "on" button to make it work. The one I bought doesn't work like that, you press the button once to turn it on and once again to turn it off. It has 50 minutes of autonomy and the battery recharges in 2,5 hours. It also cost me 154€ (on sale), versus a Dyson which would cost me at least 400€. I did seriously consider getting a Dyson but I think having to continuously press the button to make it work would make it impractical and not as easy to use.
