Well it's a while since I posted, which is ironic as I've had time on my hands for several weeks now.

I was diagnosed with cellulitis (a bacterial infection) in my legs in late January and have been off work ever since (so I can elevate my legs) while being pumped full of antibiotics in an attempt to clear it. At one point I was threatened with a trip to hospital for intravenous treatment but managed to avoid that as the pills started to work. However it's been stalled for about three weeks now, looking like it was about to go but then not quite clearing or flaring up again. So while it's way better than it was (at its worse it was quite horrid: red, itching legs that wept if you made the mistake of scratching them and I couldn't bear anything on them eg trousers, duvet), it's just annoying that it won't blasted go.
