or prayers (whichever you do )!!
I just got back from the doctors office, and guess what......I have Shingles!
My back has been hurting now for about 2 1/2 wks. I finally broke down and went last Thursday. He did an alignment on me & said I should be fine. I felt better.......but the next day...BAM!!!!!! It hurt so much I couldn't stand it. I thought well, it gets worse before it gets better. So I kept doing my excersises and I started to hurt in new places, not just the spot in my back that was in pain before. And I started getting what looked like a rash on my back. I thought I had just left the heating pad or the ice pack on too long & got a burn, no big deal.
Well, over this last weekend (Sun & Mon the most painful days, besides today) it hurt worse & worse. I couldn't sleep but maybe 4 hours without being woke up by my pain. And there was absolutely nothing that I did or took that would get rid of it (the pain).
For some reason, don't know exactly why, I thought it might be shingles. I've never seen it, so I did some research. Most of what I read was me to a tee. But I never felt "sick". So I go in today & the nurse knew right away what was wrong. How could I know without knowing?
And my bigest question...WHY ME? This usually only happens to people after the age of 50 & I'm only 36.
Anyway, I've gotten some medication & pain pills (though they don't work GREAT, any relief is better than none!) so I should feel better soon (I hope )
I just wanted you to be thinking of me, I know how it is when everyone gets together here, awesome stuff happens, and I need some of that right now!
Sorry this is so long, I think the pills are starting to work, maybe I can take a nap & sleep some.
Bye Bye
