USNRET Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Thanks Boxx but there are a lot of friends here that have things going on a lot more serious than this. Pain is not forever; I am told that it should ease in a few weeks. Worse thing is that I can not have any contact with my children as they have not had Chicken Pox and I can give that to them while the virus is active. My little girl thinks I am mad at her becuase she can't get a hug or kiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsaint Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Shingles are Baad! April 2 I had a ******** balloon up to the size of a grapefruit due to a infection and cellulitis. Also not something you want to experience. The week in the hospital and a broad spectrum of IV antibiotics sucked. On the funny side, everyone at the hospital wanted a look at my personal freak show and I didn't care due to the narcotics they provided. Oh the food was actually good there, or perhaps it was the pain killers. Needless to say that ******** will never be the same. No pictures sorry...

TasDom Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hey Mike, just read up in the thread. Sorry to hear your situation. I wish you good health and a speedy recovery sir....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brac Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Mike, hoping you have a speedy recovery, I hear shingles really sucks! On the relation to chicken pox, did you ever have them as a child? Does that answer effect weather you can get shingles? Does loud music help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that answer effect weather you can get shingles? Does loud music help?Once a person has chicken pox the virus remains dormant for life. Some people never have an episode of the virus returning (as shingles), others are not so lucky.So yes, I had Chicken Pox when I was around 7As far as lound music, I don't know but I don't want to try it. My breakout is from eye to ear drum and over scalp. Think of it this way; eye is swollen shut, back of mouth and throat feels like severe pizza cheese burn, it feels like I have a bad ear infection and there are about a thousand little bumps on my scalp that randomly experience what feels like being stabbed with an electrified ice pick, this feeling lasts for a a very short time and then moves to the next place. It doesn't matter if you lie still or move around. OK, back to the original thread intention. I am in the process of turning my Mac mini into a Windows machine using boot camp and Windows 7. The OS is arriving today. I am also scouring the net looking for some used Klipsch outdoor speakers and some small book shelf speaker to use with my PC and Pioneer receiver.

ace168516 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 My little girl thinks I am mad at her becuase she can't get a hug or kiss. I know exactly how you feel (as I try to type with one arm and hand), my son keeps asking me to pick him up and he just gets upset and starts to cry when I tell him I can't. I have known some people that have had shingles and you have my sympathy and wishes for a quick recovery. ACE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it on my back, I can't remember what the doctor did but i was told it has something to do with the nerve endings ? It was painful, but if i remember correctly it didn't last long and i never had it again..... so far. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USNRET Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Your out shopping with the Shingles?????????????????????????????????????WTH When a good deal surfaces you do what you gotta do. Actually, except for my eye sight the drugs are doing good for the pain. Hope the eye sight thing is not permanent. And I scored a set of these: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brac Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Those like to be in great shape. I know the feeling about not passing a good deal. Hence the double Lascala stacks I picked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
