Sorry to hear about so many problems that the PC riders are having and I'm sending positive vibes and prayers out. I've been MIA here because I have shingles (yes, stupid nurse did not get vaccine). Thought I had a large bug bite on my forhead but when I looked in the mirror I knew exactly what it was; good thing I'm a nurse and a hypochondriac LOL. Got into dr's office first thing the next morning and started on the anti-viral meds so it's a very mild case. Bad thing is that's above my left eye so have to be really careful not to let it affect eye. So far so good. I've dealt with shingles with my patients before and remember them telling me it feels like a major case of the flu--they were right: aches, fatigue, nausea, bad headache. Can I suggest that if you're over 60 you please get the shingles vaccine---wish I would have taken my own advice!
