Shingles
Posted by: rodwsmith on 13 June 2006
What a fecker this is.
I've been feeling a bit run down for a while - stress, mainly. And then last week what I thought was a cold sore appeared.
Only it hurt like no cold sore I could remember (it's been a while)
Well this week it turned into several "cold sores" and I decided to go see the doc on a just in case basis. Just as well, more like. I thought only old(er) people got shingles, and for some reason I never knew it could appear on the face.
The internet, although useful, is a dangerous thing in terms of uncovering info, but it appears I have been lucky in that my eye is unaffected.
And at least football is a million times more interesting than any other daytime telly I'm aware of (I haven't had a sick day off work/school since I was about 12)
I feel like the elephant man and it hurts a great deal, but there is merit in at least knowing what it is.
I'm not sure how long it is contagious for, but there are two people at work who have never had chickenpox, so I shall stay away for a bit.
Wish me luck, and any genuine tips gratefully received.

Plenty of time to play with your HIFI - get well soon see you at work!!
Hey fella
I didn't realise you were up and posting on here!
Cheers for the message. At risk of bringing work to the Naim forum, Emma from Avery's called me yesterday...
I have been listening to music, although loud is not very appealing (neither is staring at a screen for any length of time).
Cheers
