Update

The first half of the week was crappy.  Lots of itching, shedding big flakes and a painfully itchy scalp with hair full of flakes.  My 3 hr drive home from Newcastle required 2 pit stops just to get the handheld dyson out and vacuum the car.  It was like driving in a snow globe.  Then on Thursday things changed.  Still shedding and itchy but fine dust like flakes, and not as often.  The scalp has died down a bit as well.  I am really fed up with the mucus in my eyes affecting my vision so I have asked to be referred to an eye specialist.
