So here I am, still traveling thru the shingles crap... as I have decided to call it.. I am so ready to be over this...
I
am done with the contagious part…the stuff festered, scabbed and dropped
off.. So why are I not done? Oh, no no…
the powers that be say.. NOT SO
FAST CIS…. As it comes the rest of
it.. and you thought you had pain
before.. WELL, HERE IS PAIN… SHARP PAIN…
BURNING PAIN.. PRESSURE PAIN.. in
different parts of the body where the shingles arrived.. And just to make sure I am paying
attention.. it seems during the
scabbing.. and tiny little spot, decided to raise up on my chest.. See the rest of it is from the wrist to the armpit.. the full armpit.. with the elbow on its own.. doing its
thing.. the joint part has reminders
that this is still real.. with extremely
painful sharp stabs… that I swore was 30
seconds.. which turn out to be actually
5 to 6 seconds.. but it arrives when it
wants to.. no warning.. just a huge stab in the joint… enough to make the arm
jerk. And now I read that there is a
phase 3 with this.. where it can last
months and even years for others.. OH
PLEASE, GOD, don’t let me be one of those.
My
son who got this after thanksgiving.. is
still dealing with it.. in its starting
of down hill.. so making that almost 2
month s… Please God don’t let me do more?
Some
of this is hard.. as I have a pretty
good endurance of pain.. at least I
think I do… My mother taught me as a
child…. If you don’t think about the
pain and to busy
yourself.. it will lessen it or have it
disappear for a while.. and if you are
lucky it will go away… So that is how I
have dealt with pain over the years.. UNTIL this. So my pain goes from 9 – 10.. to 8,, but still there.. I tried different creams… which work about 3 days and then back to the
old pain… so have been rotating it..
Keep telling myself.. next week
it will be better..
So
after reading this.. if you have not
gotten the shingles shot…. Get it…
unless you are in to pain..
And as much as you think, you can think it away.. NOT.. going to happen..
