That explains my bad attitude, irritability, and the pain in my back and side. I broke down and went to the doctor today. I didn't need to go, since I did, after all, stay in a Holiday Inn Express last week. When the rash appeared Sunday I knew what I had. Shingles. Freaking shingles. Confirmed. While I can diagnose, I cannot prescribe. Thats why i went to tne doctor. I'm off for yet more meds to add to my daily pile.
Hooray for me.
Yikes. I had shingles once about ten (?) years ago.
ReplyDeleteWhat a miserable affliction!
Had to stay home from work for two weeks because shingles is contagious and some of my co-workers (and their kids) had never had chicken pox or been vaccinated.
Hope you get some relief soon.
