Shingles

So I figured I would Share. I got shingles last week. Joe has now figured out that i have a great plastic surgeon and that i am really over 50 lol. If you don't know it is just a form of chicken pox that hurts like crap and you can get it any time after you have had the chicken pox you can get them. Most common in people over 50. You get them due to stress or a compromised immune system along your nerves. This is all I'm going to show because they go all the way around to the front and along my bra line. They have me on very strong pain meds and steroids and antiviral stuff to help them go away. And i hope they do soon so that i can not be in pain anymore :-P

That sucks! I hate viruses. Cold sores are the same way. Once you get them, you are prone to getting them whenever there is nerve damage (like a sunburn or chapped lips) or when you are sick or stressed. I'm sorry that you have them. :(
