Anyone that has had the chicken pox carries the virus so it is a nasty virus that travels up the nerves on one side of your body. You get headaches then break out with a lovely blistering rash which burns like crazy...... I only knew of shingles by the commercials for the vaccine. Which normally after 60 they really recommend. However I have met many people under 50 that have had the horrible pleasure. It can take months sometimes for it to heal....no sun no swimming managing work barley but being optimistic. Dr. assured me being young and healthy should be back to myself 2 months tops........the pain usually requires nerve blockers (thankfully I didn't need) serious pain killers which I did have to resort to to sleep antivirals, and Luckily mine is not all over my head eyes or chest . No fun.

I like that Doreen! Have a great smokeless day.

Well week three of the dam shingles it has been really hard and painful. However on a good note went to a concert over the weekend and it is really amazing when you are not smoking how much easier it is to enjoy things over 6 hours of music and no need to rush out to smoke made the music so much better. I haven't been around much but I am in hanging in there and hoping to feel like a human being again soon....... But wanted to share a good non smoker experience. :)

Yes it is true a mentor once told me as time goes by we tend to recall the good rather than the bad and the bad tends to fade.

scary

NOPE

Been out of commission ended up with shingles who knew! Not fun.... :-(

nope

Yep they look like that! hahah

I had a very exciting weekend. I had my commission Mass to announce that I am now a Eucharistic Minister at my Parish. It was so very exciting and I have been working on this for while. The goal is to be utilized at the hospitals and nursing homes. I just had to share some good news. My Mom was there and my Boyfriend and as you know I feel so blessed that my Mom is now clear of the cancer so it meant so much to have her there with me. :)

Welcome Jewel been MIA for a few days and just saw this glad you found the Train. Good support and great people around this station

Did you try an oatmeal bath? That works for chicken pox

Oh no how terrible I swear half the bug sprays are no good... Almost as bad as using a strong sunscreen and getting burned :(

NOPE!

How are you doing Help?

We use the headlamps for collecting wood at the beach at night LOL they do look funny but what a great invention...

Congrats keep trecking that is a great accomplishment

NOPE

I know I tend not to be near a computer on weekends or when away. I have also refused to succumb to the addiction of those iphone zombies LOL. I can truly be disconnected from society and technology. Nature and quite is way better.... sometimes LOL.

Oh my God how terrible. I just recently was subjected to a colonoscopy (before me time AKA 50 year oil change LOL) due to tummy issues. Thankfully it went fine no polyps at all. I am glad you are ok how upsetting but Yes thank God you no longer smoke.

NOPE

and the cough of no its from allergies and a cold etc etc etc....

That was really cute and true. Its funny I can remember my mom doing everything to cover the stink in the car and it still stunk and clothes OMG. I also have a friend who swears her sister and boyfriend don't know she smokes and in my head I am just cracking up because now I know that isn't even possible if you had a cigarette that someone can't smell it.

2- :) Hello got it Doreen thanks.

NOPE
