I have heard of shingles all my life but I just thought it was a rash and that was about it. Never knew it could be as serious as it is. When you can lose your sight and all the nerve damage it causes, that is pretty bad. I have neurophy from the diabetes and it is very painful. I remember having chicken pox when I was about 6yrs. old because I stayed out of school for about 2wks. and went back and about 3days later got the red measles. lol!!! I think I'm a gluton for punishment. Hope this crap doesn't last long. I should have asked my doctor what to put on it for itching. It has began to itch more than in the start. I think someone mentioned calamine lotion. |
