Default Just to let you know

Last week I was not feeling well and went to the doctor on Monday. From my description -- sensitive skin on the left hand side of my scalp from the crown forward, sensitivity on my left brow, and sensitivity on the skin on the left hand side of my face and chin. Light sentive in my left eye and headaches. I have the beginning stages of Shingles. Katharine had the Shingles on her body/trunk about five years ago. She experienced a lot of pain with it. The doctor is waiting until I have skin eruption/blisters before giving me Prednazone. He also says I have to see our Opthmologist and be under his care while I go thru this. I liken this to Beauty and the Beast -- the Shingles being the Beast! I plan to limit my contact with the grandbaby and others I know who may be ill or never had the chickenpox. I wish things would move a little faster so I can get thru this. I don't think it is going to be much fun!
