Dead period. My two favorite weeks of the year with no practice or anything going on.


And I’ve got the [uck fay]ing shingles.

 

I had sternum to spine. Felt like I had tiny people poking me from inside with hot pokers. Try cold wraps to help numb.. they helped me fall asleep

 

If anything touches my hair, no matter how lightly, it feels like I’ve been stabbed.

 

people don’t understand until they’ve had it. And I’ve been in wrecks, bad injuries, weight bar dropped on teeth and a dozen plus surgeries. I’d do them all again over shingles.

 

Sorry to hear, that sucks

 

Damn. You sure it's not syphilis?

Kidding aside feel better soon bud.

 

He has a complete immunity to nearly all STDs.

 

Man, that sucks. I dread the day I get them

 

There's a shingles vaccine i think.

 

I don't think Im quite old enough. Not recommended for under 50

 

I didn't think you could get the shingles vaccine if you had chicken pox?

 

I don't know

 

I thought you got shingles from having had chicken pox

 

Nvm just checked that's not the case. I need to stop visiting those homeopathic sites

 

Ya, looks like anyone can get it and it is recommended for folks after 50 especially

Which hair?

 

that’s how I got it. Put on a statin drug years ago, which as a side effect then woke up my dormant chicken pox virus from the 70s. And pox was not happy to be awoken.

 

Only hair I have is on my head….

you think you’re dealing with a damn amateur?

 

man I thought I got into some poison Ivy or whatever cleaning out a brush line. Then I thought it was fleas from this cat I’ve adopted. I’ve been putting rubbing alcohol on it to try and dry it out. Yesterday morning I jump in the shower, already hurting, and the water hit me. I came out of that shower stinging and ready to whip 20 grown men.

I walk in the doctor’s office. He walks in, takes one good look and said… “damn that’s gotta hurt.” He’s loaded me up with so much shit my insurance company I’m sure is threatening to drop me. It’s spread a good distance as I’ve been dealing with it for almost a week before I went to doctor. My only concern now is he said this should contain it, but I have been wearing my contacts throughout this process. It’s my understanding if this shit gets in the eyes, you’re screwed.
