Miss Mac diary - A fresh start!

[Miss Mac]

When is the big night out Miss M? I'm really looking forward to the pics xx

May 17 is the night out.
I havent had a drink for so long so it might get messy!!

 

[Miss Mac]

I have hit a new low!
If any of you read earlier in my diary, i get 'monster head' in the sun, so to get ready for my holiday i have sunbeds to prepare my skin.
Well, new low.......i now get monster head off sunbeds too!!!
Woke up this morning with a swollen face.
I need to go into town today too so my ever helpful son said 'do you want to borrow my yoda mask!!' I couldnt stop laughing!! Lol

Oh no! How awful! xxx

Oh no love that ur sun is compassionate and practical! Can u take anti/histamine?

I get my tan from a bottle! Can ur GP prescribe stronger antihistamine that u can't buy over counter? I got prescribed some strong ones before I got married because I kept getting bitten and they'd swell up big time. Telfast, I think that's what they were called.

Hope it eases off x

Sorry to hear about your monster head and hope that gets sorted soon. Love the pink dress. Your pics are fab. Your stomach has disappeared. Gives me hope for my own.

Just took one this morning. I normally start taking them a week before my holiday but i didnt think i would have to take them for sunbeds! New lesson learnt.
Didnt think the doctor would give me anything as i will only go to the docs when my face has gone down so they cant actually see the problem. Its quite mild this time or i would take a photo and go to the docs with that.

Get those strong ones before ur holiday. 2-3 week supply is hardly gonna break the GPs bank. Sure they'd prescribe it if it meant u would have a better holiday. Photo if ur face would be good so they can see how it impacts on ur day to day life

Sending anti-histamines virtually ur way x

Oh no what a disaster, bad enough that it effects you in the sun but to have it do the same with a sunbed is just wrong
I would get your ever so kind, loving, compassionate (lol I love him ) son to take a couple of photos of your face so that the doctor can see the effects when you go in case it's all gone down xx

Hi MM. Your before and after pictures are amazing! 4 stone is a massive amount to have lost. You've done so well. I can only admire your determination! Looking forward to seeing you in that pink dress!

 

[Darcy15]

Like this MM?

I think you may have a condition called solar urticaria.

Taking a photo is actually quite a good idea - then your GP can understand what the reaction is like.

I don't think you're going to like my advice - but you need to stay out of the sun to prevent this from happening. It's caused by an immune reaction to UV light, so sun beds are out as well. Antihistamine may reduce the reaction, but probably not prevent it entirely

If I'm right, your GP might want to refer you to a dermatologist or immunologist for an opinion.

Will go and see my family gp, he will believe me anyway i just hope strong anti histamines work!
I dont want this to happen on holiday

I think I'll be using MFP for the rest of my life! If I ever get to goal I'm going to make sure I don't go above the amount of calories I need to maintain. Marge has a calculator for this on her diary. My current daily amount is 1749 calories.

No darcy, that person looks blotchy, i have no rash just swollen!
I dont think he can refer me as i would need the appointment when i have the symptoms and that is unlikely ever to happen!
Last time doctor did tell me to keep my face out of the sun but thats nearly impossible!

If you have ever seen a picture of someone who has had an allergic reaction to hairdye, its more like that.

My mfp is currently 1390 and my ww points are 30 and im kind of working between the two!

Hope the anti histamines help, sounds quite distressing.

By all means have a messy night out but not all down that lovely dress please MM xx
