No more spoons. Just like that :-(
ETA: OK, for future reference I should record:
* Overheating with sudden and extreme perspiration
* Shortness of breath (not fun at all)
* Puffiness, especially around eyes and hands
* Extreme muscle weakness, fatigue, and loss of sensation, bordering on paralysis, particularly in the arms.
* Hands and feet clawing
But no headache or sleepiness. No nausea. Only medium loss of IQ, but rapid drop under pressure. Bye bye coping skills.
A few hours later fingers are back on the move, but shakey. Can't straighten them yet. Breathing improved.
Headache kicking in now. Starting to get contraction pain around the jaw and sinus pressure, plus tight neck ligature. Might be a little dehydrated too.
Note to self: Tim Tams will hurt you. Not immediately, but they will find you and break you.
I *must* take tomorrow quietly.

Although I know I have to take today easy I have managed to squeeze in some sit-down gardening (clearing dead stuff from a clump of native grass) and polish my boots. This is Day 3 of a preservative reaction so I know that I'm likely to feel a whole lot worse either later today or early tomorrow, and then should bounce back in time for the weekend.
