Shingles snuck up on me AGAIN

Posted by Partlycloudy on August 7, 2013, at 7:25:34

Stupid shingles. Stupid PC.
I have been feeling really run down and stressed having our kitchen remodeled. Incessant noise, the dust, extra people in the house, and I'm not so good at getting away from it all.
Spent the last couple of days just craving sleep. It couldn't be satisfied. Woke up this morning with a familiar blister in an uncomfortable place. Itches like the worst mosquito bite. It's shingles.
I am lucky in that I have a VERY mild case. Just a few blisters that linger forever. The vaccine for it, though, is outrageously expensive if you are under 65.
Heading for the calamine lotion.
