Oh okay

Apparently I have shingles....

Going to the pharmacy for antivirals and bandages when Wax is done with work.

This raises the interesting possibility that I've had headaches and fever for the last week without really noticing because I'm already miserable, huddling in blankets with no energy as my default state in January.

Oh no!! I hope it isn't too bad; shingles can be super horrible.

[cimorene]

It seems mild so far, that is, about four days. Since the first skin symptoms that I noticed. But I am feeling highly unhappy about what I've read about it!!

[aurumcalendula]

Oh no! I hope you get better soon!

[princessofgeeks]

Oh no!!!

Feel better soon.

[mecurtin]

Oh Nooo! I hope they're not on your face or a similarly tender part of your body!

[cimorene]

My leg. That's probably lucky. But it is going to be tricky to bandage, and interfere with sitting and lying down positions.

[syderia]

That really sucks. I hope you get better soon!

I'm so sorry! Hope it'll be mild. It can be a horrible disease. Here's hoping you get through it quickly!

Oh, I'm so sorry. I lucked out and they dropped the age limit for the vaccine in time for me to get it last year.
