Damn, that sucks. How long will it last?
Go get a shingles vaccine next week. I put it off and got hit with it last week...all over the left side of my face and scalp. I can honestly say this is some very bad ....feels like a chemical burn plus random electrical shocks. Virtually impossible to sleep. I have been lucky so far and it hasn't attacked my cornea even though its all over my eye lids etc and the eye is swollen shut. It can cause blindness if it gets in the actual eye itself.
Damn, that sucks. How long will it last?
Can last a month or more. I went to the doctor in the first 48 hours from the first symptoms so got on antiviral drugs. Hope it helps.
Supposedly advances from the burning and swelling to blisters and then scabs. Not looking forward to my eye and left side of my face being covered in scabs.
You knew it was shingles?
I thought it was some kind of allergic reaction. Doctor told me it was shingles and immediately had me go to an opt logist to check my eye.
Not there yet, but not looking forward to it, especially the colonoscopy... :P
The prep for colonoscopy is no fun
Got my first of two shingles shot a month ago
Candles, wine and some flowers makes it tolerable.
Not there yet, but will do when the time comes. Happened to someone I know and it was debilitating .
Get well soon.
The current commercial is enough to scare the out of one.
The colonoscopy is nothing but a nice propofol nap
Prep day sucks tho
How different from Monkeypox?
CC doesn't visit nursing homes looking for pick ups.
propofol Is some good stuff
Drift way wake up
No hangover
Good stuff
Ouch. Hope those antivirals shut that down and start reversing it quickly.
24 hours without eating, must be cruel and unusual punishment for San Antonians
Can you have cigars though? They stop you from craving food. Alternatively you can play chess or simcity all day to pass the time.
If Covid had these symptoms, was really easy to catch, but killed absolutely no one, people would be lined up asking to be vaxxed and would not be the least bit worried about their rights.
And holy to the symptoms. Skin stuff sounds really painful.
Hope it goes away before it gets to your skin as sleeping could be really difficult having to lie in one position possibly.
And the other stuff, eyes... damn. Left side...? sounds like it plays with nerves?
Get well please. No symptoms.
If X # of years has passed can one get a new shingles shot just to be sure?
Ive had shingles,,,,it sucks. Imagine having a severe sunburn in a specific area and then raking it over glass shards. Colonoscopy on the hand is nothing,,,the worst part is drinking the nasty they give you for the night before the procedure to clean you out,,,and you better stay close to a bathroom or youre in big trouble,,,,the procedure itself youre not even awake for,,,,nothing to it.
What do shingles have to do with colonoscopy?
I did the turd in a box instead. No (pun intended), the pamphlet says "do not drink" the liquid they provide and do not urinate in the container. That means people have done both. Someone actually IN the container instead of using the tool to get a sample.![]()
It's the drinking lime flavored sal er until you pee out of your butt that's the worst.
Well worth it tho. My sister in law died of butt cancer, you don't want to die that way trust me.
