Uggggggggggg SHINGLES!

Tink, just wondering how you're doing. Hope you're feeling a little better.

Thanks all.
I'm more itchy than in pain. I had my gallbladder out the old fashioned way with the huge incision nearly 30 yrs ago, during which time nerves were cut that never reconnected. Ironically, it's in this same area that my shingles are. I have an area just above the scar that's never had a return of full sensation, so I guess this time I lucked out because the skin doesn't really hurt like one might expect it to.

Weird huh? LOL

I have a friend from church that has shingles really bad. The doctor said that it's the worst case that he's ever seen. She's been really miserable with it.

I've seen it in the nursing home I worked in. It does seem to be terrible. I hope it continues to not be horrible for you Tink.

My aunt just had it, but because she went to the doctor right away, she was told that it wasn't going to cause her too much trouble and would go away quickly.
The earlier the medical intervention, the better. Hers was not troublesome within a week.

I hope yours goes as easy. You got lucky that the nerves never regenerated in that spot! Life is strange sometimes.

Feel better soon,

Judy

How are you feeling today Tink? Any better?

Janet · 04-24-2007, 04:33 PM

Tink, are you doing okay? Let us know how you're doing with the nasty shingles.

I hope that you are felling better, we used to see this in the military a lot. If I remember right it takes a while for them to go away.
