Bank holiday Monday I got lots of itchy welts. They returned on the Tuesday and Wednesday nights in differing places. The same Tuesday my glands came up (painfully so) and after a few days I gained many flu symptoms one by one including a blocked nose and a (very) sore throat. I also began to be very gassy though my stomach did not hurt. I have slept very little at night and my appitite was gone by the Thursday. Sunday night I gagged while brushing my teeth, burped, dry heaved twice then threw up. Only bile came out. I noticed that I would release gas just after I drank and that my saliva would get thicker. Now it is always thick. I tried Beechams tablets and it barely touched it. Night Nurse worked for a few hours but I felt a lot worse when I woke up fully (3.40 am) - I had woken up many times in the night before it and managed to sleep again but after that point, getting back to sleep was very hard. It has been a week and a half since all this started and I an desperately seeking relief. Can you help me?
