One of my good pals, who I golf with and envy her beautiful wainscoting and just love everything about her...
She suffered all summer with shingles. She is not a wimp like me and she said that her pain levels were so high when she got to urgent care that it had made her blood pressure rise so high that at first they suspected a heart attack. She told us that it was worse than labor pain.
Her beloved grandchildren came to visit this summer and she was unable to enjoy them at all.
Please, no matter what it costs, get the shingles shot.
My friend made it very clear to me that this pain is beyond description. AND often does NOT disappear when the rash goes away and can become a chronic condition.
Protect yourself as soon as you can.
