For the past couple of weeks I have felt truly awful - signed off work, spoke to several doctors. I think it all started with me injuring my back nearly 10 weeks ago and continuing to work from my bed because I couldn't sit in a chair - hurt my back badly in three places. Anyway, I was managing - doing a full day's work and going to bed really early. Anyway, I had someone in fitting a new bathroom and they used sillicone - I know I can't touch it usually but I had a severe reaction with very swollen face and scratchy throat. Ever since I have been very anxious, jumping at the slightest noise, generally feeling awful and can't settle to anything - just want to sleep. Has anyone else suffered this after a severe allergic reaction?
