Piggers My DD1 is immune to the stuff too - when I mentioned this to one of the Doctors at the hospital where I worked, she explained (having seen a photo of her by my desk) that when she worked as an SHO in Eire, the Senior Midwife explained that redheads didn't respond to analgesia in the same way:

Apparently the DNA coding error that leaves out the instruction for melanin also beggars up the structure of the nervous system fibres, making it impossible for the bonds between some medications and the body to form, so the meds have no interaction with/effect upon the body.

Of course, if your poor lumpy DS is not a redhead, the same principle follows for any genetic hiccup and he could have just been unlucky!

[sometimes I wonder why I feel I need to know this stuff]

Now then Jo - I'm a ginger and have an odd reaction to general anaesthetic (and an epidural - caused chaos in delivery, me - and I bet you're not surprised) in that my slightly-verging-on-the-low-side BP PLUMMETS so much so that I was thought to be in shock the day after my last op and they wouldn't let me get out of bed and were quite concerned. I felt absolutelyey fine (apart from crossed legs:o) - same cause possibly?

Pigpen hope the stitches aren't too tight.
Sexy it's so fustrating when you get things cancelled at the last minute.
Carlesburgal I think you are so brave (not to mention your DS). I'd be a nervous wreck if any of my DS's were on the front line. A new baby is always a blessing:).
Diva Hope the sickness subsides.
Lady L Glad you are safely home. Get lots of rest please.
G&B - Hope LO is improving.

I was bitten on the ankle by something when I walked DD2 to nursery at lunchtime. It hurt immediately and was very swollen by the time I hobbled back. I've rubbed antihistamine cream on it and taken it orally and ibruprofen for the pain and swelling but I'm still sitting here with my foot up and a packet of frozen peas on it. Friends are collecting LO's from school/nursery. Not only am I a headcase but now I'm a physical liability too .

DS2's Parents evening last night was a success. Sports teacher said that if all 25 in the class were like him then he'd be the happiest teacher in England. Academically he's doing slightly better than I hoped so I feel very happy with him.

Lists are looking pretty good even if I say so myself:D

You never know when it might come up in a quiz.. but no, he isn't a redhead... oddly none of my children are.. I'd love a redhead.. not much chance this time round either!

Then again.. my stepdad is immune to it too and he is not a redhead.. romany gypsy by ancestry.. and not so far in the past!

Hallway repainted.. I am just havin a cuppa then we are going for the grubs.. I am taking DS2 so he can walk home with DS3 and we can bring the tiddly 3 in the car..

Hi :j
grateful - I wouldn't be seen for dust if a rat came in my classroom. I once had a slow (sp?) worm visit in the middle of a parents' evening that caused chaos - I think I broke a land speed record (of course I was looking for the caretaker :whistle:).

Of course!

Notso have reported it FWIW


Niksy I want your dog!

Have heaps of washing to do before going away for the weekend...

Make it into ratatouille :rotfl: I think the grass may have got to my head

and what kind of grass have you been cutting exactly

gratefulforhelp wrote: »

R, will anyone do anything about the rat if I moan???

I shouldn't think so ... they might if you get them to have the meeting in the classroom and then lock them in there with it!

Dusty - yes Summernaturals are good. I get my epsom salts and various other bits from them too.

Right... back to work... Trying to book plane tickets for work :mad:
