Getting shingles isn't my idea of a good time.
I noticed them about a week ago, and didn't know what they were. Saw the doctor Monday, it took her all of two seconds to diagnose.
Got medication for the virus, some sort of hot pepper cream for the pain, and some Advil for the killer headache caused by the shingles hitting a nerve.
I attempted work on Tuesday, which I shouldn't have. Hard to sit, headache non-stop, and terminally-watery eyes from the aforementioned head issues. At least I got a free breakfast that morning!
Stayed home the next day, which I was able to book off at work today, thanks to some new benefits (new adult stuff, yay!!).
I finally had a full night's sleep for the first time in about three days last night. Not sure if the sores are better or if I just found that one small part of my mid-section sans discomfort.
A much better day at work today, and that brings me to right now.
It never fails that this time of the year, mid-October to early December, something with me goes wonky, health-wise. A cold, surgery to get ear tubes replaced, or shingles now, apparently. Oh well.
Seems like the worst may be over (fingers crossed!)
Cheers
