To the guys over 50...

[Blake]

I remember my mom having shingles during Christmas one year. She was in sheer agony. Hope it doesn't last long for you.

Any idea how you might have got it?

[SnakeBoy]

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.

Turd in a box only accurate at telling you if you have cancer. Colonoscopy they can see/remove any polyps that might turn into cancer.

Shingles vaccine/Colonoscopy = things you should do when you get older

Everyone has it. It's dormant chickenpox virus come back to life.

Vaccines don't prevent infection.

They don't know why, just happens to about half of people at some point over age 50.

Chuncko should get reading glasses to see posts on computer screen, as grandkids or other young folk are not always around to assist those over 50.

I can walk fine but still disappointing. I used to be able to ski black and double black ski slopes but don't have the rigidity anymore to ski well no matter how much strengthening therapy I do...I was able to get my 5 year old grandson started this year but in a couple years i won't be able to keep up with him.

that was gonna be the case anyway, we're all getting older!

[Millennial_Messiah]

I didn't really hear that it can hit your face and make you blind. I thought it was more concentrated around your core, abs, back area.

[CosmicCowboy]

Yep, sadly it can hit the face and scalp too. I think I caught it early enough to keep it from spreading to my cornea.

Hope not lol

No, that's how you get loaded with monkeypox.

[pgardn]

No, that's how you get loaded with monkeypox.

It started that way.
Now its in general all the different sore areas and face to face respiratory.
I read that people thought AIDS was a disease mandated by God to punish gays.
Wonder if world that knows God so well sees the monkey pox the same way.

You can still ski... right?
You dont have to do difficult hills to enjoy, correct?

I skied this year but its a little spooky. My right knee especially has some right/left play I can't control.. I go to set my edges to turn and the ski trys to chatter. Hard to explain.

God started it that way. The program was so successful He expanded it to fornicators in general.

And new born babies, like those from crack/heroin addicts. God hates those babies.

[RandomGuy]

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.

Sorry to hear.
Thanks for the advice.

My dad had problems with that as well.
