The bloody shingles!! This sucks, but at least it explains the blistering rash on my torso and the intense pain. At least I know I'm not dying now, lol

All I can attest it to is too little sleep for too long and too much stress!

Rockrolex · 28 October 2005, 07:21 AM

Yuck. Is there anything you can do for it, other than endure it?

BruceS · 28 October 2005, 07:31 AM

The doc gave me some meds to stop it before it gets worse. She said the rash would just dry up and go away by itself. Really does hurt though!

Nasty - hope you are feeling better soon Bruce!

dman · 28 October 2005, 09:44 AM

Brucey, that sucks pal, I had a case of that in college. I hope it goes away soon mate. At least it is not 100 degrees outside while you have it, that really sucked.

BruceS · 28 October 2005, 10:50 AM

Yeah, if I remeber right, it was alot more discomfort than anything else.

JJ Irani · 28 October 2005, 03:35 PM

Sorry to hear about your plight, Bruce. Isn't shingles akin to chicken pox? You must be itching all over....must drive you nuts!!!

Hope you get well soon, pal!!

padi56 · 28 October 2005, 05:50 PM

You have my sympathy Bruce, had that many years ago, and bloody
painful is was to, get well soon.

28 October 2005, 10:29 PM

If you've got shingles, can you come over this weekend and help me on the house? I have a few that need replacing.

Sorry, well... shingles suck. Isn't that the adult version of chicken pox? Must be bloody uncomfortable. Get lots of meds and relax for a few day, me choina!

BruceS · 28 October 2005, 11:41 PM

Thanks guys. I always thought it had to do with chicken pox, but it can be brought on by about any viral infection, stress, etc. I've had a low grade cold and a cough that got worse. I don't regularly get more than 4-5 hours sleep and haven't for over a year. Plus, I've been kinda stressy with this move stuff. It doesn't surprise me that I got something.

Oh, it doesn't itch. It burns.

dman · 29 October 2005, 12:42 AM

I remember it feeling like a match being lit under my skin. It was not fun.

BruceS · 29 October 2005, 02:04 AM

Good description Daren! And, it makes you ultra sensitive to temperature. I've been freezing in 60 degree temps, and at night I'm cold yet sweating. It really sucks. The meds are helping, but now I feel bad in a different way. I'll just be glad when it all passes.
