Dang, sorry to hear that, even about a Raiders fan.
Last year, shorty after I read this thread , my company offered free inoculations with the Shingles vaccine. I jumped all over it. From what I hear, after this outbreak clears up, you should get inoculated to prevent future outbreaks. |

http://www.patient.co.uk/health/shingles-herpes-zoster Stuff is weird, started as a small twitch and pain in my back almost exactly where I broke my rib last year... then it moved around to the the same inline area in the front side of my rib cage ... all pain is on one side of my body... now I have this small patch of blisters on my back that hurt like hell , stinging burning blisters... |
Ugh, best of luck man.
|
I had it a few years ago. It sucks. Valtrex cleared it up pretty quick though.
|
I asked my doctor about getting the shot and he said I have to wait until I am 50 to get that. Sure hope that doesn't backfire.
|
get some acyclovir or Valtrex. I had zoster on my back when I was a kid. It burned like a sumbitch.
|
one of my coworkers had it, and had it on the optic nerve and in his eye, was having vision issues because of it and it was very painful. He had to wear sunglasses all the time, even at his desk.

Didn't shingles and chicken pox used to be known as the same thing? Shingles used to essentially be known as "adult chicken pox?"
|
I had shingles when I was 22 (college senior, going out all the time, working three jobs, was pretty run down and it popped up).
It popped out for me over the nerve cluster running down the inside of my right leg. You can imagine... walking was pretty damn painful for several days. I had just started dating a new girl (my wife, actually), so I had an awkward phone call - that I made more awkward by leaving a poorly worded voice mail. It sucks. But I have had no flare-ups since then. |

A person with shingles can give you chicken pox if you have never had it. A person with shingles cannot give another person shingles Shingles come from a trace amount of the virus in your system that lays dormant around your spinal cord but they don't know a whole lot about what triggers it... Possible stress is a theory. Full blown adult chicken pox is really bad I heard... |
