For a few days now I have had a few itchy, sore spots on my eyelid and around my eye. Added to which my eyelid is red and swollen. I had presumed I had been bitten or stung by something while snoozing in the sun. Today I went to see the pharmicist as I couldn't get a GP appointment. She said it didn't look like bites to her and suggested shingles!! Apparently you can get them near the eye! Who knew?? But I have two worries. In ten days time my DH and I are supposed to be taking our two eldest grandchildren to Legoland in Denmark for a few days! What should I do? Secondly, once a week we have another grandchild ( different parents) for a sleepover and full day. This DGD's mum is 7.5 months pregnant and her dad ( our DS) is working away , so it really helps them out. I will obviously now insist on a GP appointments will discuss it with him. But I did wonder what would you ladies do? Thank you
