The next post explains (in as much detail as I can muster and as little as you all can stand) the roundabout bloodwork and discovery that I don't have shingles, I'm only a little "fachada."<BR/><BR/>Maybe it was all your get well messages that willed them away...or maybe it was back to some secondary infection that mimicked shingles in many of the symptoms - except thankfully - the painful itchy blisters. Thank G-d.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, it's not to say that I've been feeling great, I haven't. But whatever it was, seems to have lifted and I am back in life as we know it in these here parts. <BR/><BR/>Is it so wrong that I haven't told my family yet? I mean a person could get used to be waited on so :)Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16075495407192340894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28673298.post-82263119220663417162008-01-30T16:36:00.000-05:002008-01-30T16:36:00.000-05:00checking on you buddy!

Well heck, I don't know too much about shingles, but I do know it is something to avoid if at all possible. You've been dealing with this already for a month? Wow you poor thing. On the one hand, I'm very happy it is shingles and not something more sinister. But on the other hand, pain is miserable. (pssst - need any good drugs?
