[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 38571, member: 1991"] Gee, Heather, this sounds like no fun at all. I hate allergic reactions. Have you gone over all external possibilities? I would be ringing the doctor over and over until you get a response. Leave a message saying you appear to have an allergic reaction and desperately need advice on how to stop it. We've had a public holiday today - Anzac Day. It was raining in Sydney for the dawn service, husband was glad he didn't go. He's had his father's medals mounted onto a bar and he now has his own service medal, so he's definitely entitled to march if he chooses to. We watched the march on TV and then the dawn service at Gallipoli. There have been some anti-war demonstrators caught painting graffiti on the war memorials and picketing the parades - they haven't a clue. Back when I was a kid I hated Anzac Day because back then, it DID seem to glorify war. Now it certainly does not - it celebrates peace but also celebrates how Aussies will keep trying even when things look worse than hopeless. We all thought Anzac Day would be dead when the last Anzac died - it's bigger than ever now, because it is finally honest about war and what it does to people and countries, while at the same time respecting the efforts of those who fight. You might see something about it - you might not. But here it's definitely been a day for contemplation. Marg [/QUOTE]
