This is a question Now, there was no need for that...

Tell us about the times when an already difficult situation has been made worse for no good reason. Pollollups writes, "As if being given a muscle relaxant and trapped in an MRI tube wasn't bad enough: whilst thus immobilised, they played me Dido."

Skin
Eh-up,
A while ago, having just started a new job, I happened to look down at my hands. They had gone pink and itchy.

Fast forward a few days - my whole body was pink and itchy.

Fast forward a few more days - my skin was falling off.

Fast forward a few more days again - my skin had turned to Parmesan cheese, I had a raging temperature, my face (and the rest of me) was so swollen I could not recognise myself in the mirror and my appetite had disappeared. I became more and more delirious and was (eventually) sent to hospital by the docs.

After two days they worked out I had developed a nasty reaction to medication which I had been taking for a crick in the neck. So, I had effectively been poisoning myself.

I was then put in the geriatric bladder ward for a couple of days.

It took me three months to recover.

Loved every moment. Or, rather, I didn't.
