So, I finally got an appointment with the doctor yesterday - my new doctor, and friend of one of my best friends - and he informed me that I have Adult Chicken Pox, which are also known by the unfortunate name of "Shingles". I am itchy, and my back feels like it's being stabbed by hundreds of pins. It also feels hot. It's annoying, it's disgusting, and I can't wait for it to go away. So, because it's contagious to people who've never had Chicken Pox as a child, I cannot work in my office. One of my co-workers is pregnant also, so I have to stay away from her until I am finished with the drugs. (which will be sunday) So, I will go back to my office next monday, but until then I am working from home. I always thought working from home would be fun and relaxing. It's really not. The only bonus is being able to watch TV while I am eating breakfast and during lunch. I think by Friday, I will be getting cabin fever!

Hey Cuteness!You still look great even though I've heard shingles is the worst. Have you been stressed more than usual? That can cause it to happen. Hope you get through it without too much more torture!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike! Yeah, they're not fun but thankfully and healing quickly. The drugs are kicking my ass though, but I don't care. I have been über stressed lately - at work. My doctor said it could also be physical stress from intense work-outs. (which has happened lately with my trainer). So, I am hoping it goes away quickly. But thanks again for your kind words.
DeleteEeep.. sorry about the pox.

Shingles or no fun. Had them once, just a small area on my leg. Was very painfull but nothing since. Stress is a big trigger though. Hope you are better soon.
