“Shingles” and the City!
Howllo Fellow Hound and Hating Shingles Lovers: OMG! I came down with a case of SHINGLES. Shingles can be brought on by a number of things, one of which is stress. I am sure this is the reason I came down with it. I have been so stressed out over Emma’s blindness that I guess my body broke down.
My doctor insisted on complete bed rest and I am happily obliging. Much to my delight HBO just loaded the final season of Sex and the City. 20 light hearted, mindless fun, shingles healing, delicious episodes. I have seen them all before but this time it was different. It was like I was seeing them for the first time. I really needed those hundreds of laughs. (I even cried a bit too)!
Hence, “shingles” and the city!
On the other hand, folks, shingles is no laughing matter but one to cry about if you don’t catch it in time. Please, please educate yourself on this condition that can happen to anyone that has had chicken pox. Yes, anyone that has had chicken pox. The virus lies dormant in your body and then whammo, it can come out as blisters that can be excruciatingly painful on one side of your body. It can last for weeks.
Without my proper prior knowledge I would have had a much worse case. I diagnosed it for my doctor.
You must start the anti-viral drug within 72 hours of coming down with shingles or the drug will not work.
OK, health class is over and hopefully I have saved someone from the gigantic headache of shingles.
