At the suggestion of some of you, I did go to the doctor... and I do have shingles... just another part on the ongoing saga.. He said I would be in more pain had I not already been taking neurontin..

It is the strangest thing...shingles... the way the virus travels along a nerve pathway..The doctor was thinking I had two separate dermatomes involved.. but looked at his map and realized it is the same... I have a patch on my back and one under my arm.. and it's the same nerve path.

The worst part about it is I can't be around my new grandson until I am well..because he can get chickenpox from me.. How weird is that??

I'm taking it easy for a few days.. I did come to work today but not pushing too hard.

Hope everyone else is having a good day...

Peace, Love and Joy..
