so yesterday i found out that i have shingles. Right when i heard that my heart dropped buty the Nurse seemed so light hearted about it like nothing was wrong. I don't know about you but when i think shingles i think like some 1800s VD that killed a whole bunch of people, but no all it is is the reappearance of Chicken pox. whew a sigh of releif, then she says its in the Herpes Family, and again I Freak Out. yeah i have herpes(not literally) and to make it better the medicine for it is Valtrex, thats the pure breed herpes meds as seen on t.v. and again i'm like yay.
My Dad says that both my grandfathers had it too, unfortunately they said it was pretty painful, but they were also a lot older than me when they got it and i think that chicken pox gets worse with age. so i got to take the herpes meds for a while and stay away from any one who either has weak imune systems such as Infants, Sickly, Anyone on Kemo(which sucks cause my friends mom is on kemo and i love her to death), or with HIV/AIDS. also i gots to keep away from anyone who hasn't had Chickenpox yet, here lies the biggest burden. It just so happens that the one person that i want to spend the most time with out of anyone right now has never had chicken pox, so i got to keep away from them, and its going to suck more than any thing else , i am pretty sure we're not gonna stay away very well and i'll end up giving them Chicken pox at an older stage which will ruin their plans right now, plus our plans for this holiday break.
i really hate Shingles
