Can't An Old Lady Get Some Peace Around Here?

[nightdog_barks]

Cloudy. Warm (75). Possible thunderstorms later today and tonight. Chango is already nervous.

Have discovered why I have been feeling so oddly "off" the past few days. Apparently ... I have shingles. For God's sake. I HAD CHICKEN POX WHEN I WAS A LITTLE KID. WHY IS THE VIRUS STILL HERE? *INSERT LOTS OF REALLY BAD WORDS*

Gah. Gah gah gah. DO NOT WANT! DO NOT WANT VARICELLA-ZOSTER VIRUS, DO NOT WANT TO GO TO THE DOCTOR, DO NOT WANT!!! *THROWS UNSEEMLY TANTRUM*

*sigh* Okay, that's a little better. Poem coming up in a bit, and a Houseficlet later today.

Oh, ouch. You poor thing! I think you're entitled to a tantrum or two!

[tx-cronopio.livejournal.com]

OUCH! I hope it's a mild case!

I guess it's too late to go get the anti-shingles meds? I hope it's a mild case and not painful afterward.

Oh, Nightdog!

*hugs carefully to avoid inflicting pain*

Rant away. And here I was, bitching because I've got a mere cold.

If it were me, I'd be off to the doctor in a flash. Shingles can get nasty, I've heard; I'd do whatever it took to prevent that.

Off to do my errands now.

Shingles! Oh, no. You go straight to that doc and get whatever treatment you can ASAP and when you get back we'll all give you lollipops or whatever it takes to make it (the doctor's visit or the illness, you pick) better.

Ooh, shingles, yuck. A friend of mine had that his senior year in high school. I hope you get some great meds from the doctor and it's a very, very mild case.

*hugs*

OH NOES!

*passes you coffee* *hugs very carefully*

OMG!

Ahem. I'm having a pretty good morning, all things considered. So I'll just go...heat up my lunch. :)

Because you had chicken pox. The virus doesn't go away--it hides in your nerves. And waits.

That said--hie thee to a doctor forthwith. Don't try to suffer through it by yourself, OK?

Plus -- well -- better to get it now than when you're older. You're plenty strong enough to fight it.

[silja-b.livejournal.com]

Ouch. That hurts. Get ye to a doctor!

And be happy it isn't ocular.

[elynittria.livejournal.com]

Well, that's certainly unwelcome news. Bleah! I hope you feel better soon!

*sends "get well" thoughts frantically south*

You poor thing!

*sends House with lolly for you*

I hope the meds work quickly and the shingles GO AWAY.
