My drama with Shingles
Thursday, March 30, 2006
Wha-at?!? Chickenpox?!
Not chickenpox to be exact but the recurrence of it – Shigles!
I have it. Who would have thought of anything as bizarre as a virus living deep inside you and waiting for the right moment.. the exact moment when all your defenses are down and attack once again!!!
It freakin’ hurts like hell and itch! Geeze! Does it itch!
And I am supposed to drink some medications that would prevent the hellish pain that would come just after the virus goes away!! Bizaaaareee!! I tell you.
Lucky for me, I’ve read that once I’ve had the chickenpox the baby is relatively safe from the damages of Shingles.. relatively, that is.
Well, ces’t la vie!
