An elderly lady, who was a friend of ours had shingles , she use to sit and cry with it when nobody was about.

I cried and didn't care who was about. It's bloody awful. All down to Chicken Pox

Well here we are in the void between Christmas and the New Year. We had a very quiet Christmas Day and Boxing Day. The three week run up to Christmas was silly busy. So much to do so many meals to fight through I loved it. Am bored now.

One thing is certain you can't possibly get Shingles unless you have had Chicken Pox. The Chicken Pox virus doesn't go away, it comes back as Shingles. One thing is absolutely dead certain, after my experience I wouldn't go within ten miles of anyone with Shingles or Chicken Pox just in case.

I know that's what all the rules say Lyn. But having experienced the most painful fortnight of my entire life (including having a replacement knee) I still wouldn't go near anyone who has Chicken Pox or Shingles.
I just woudn't trust it.
