In Charge
About a year ago, I designed, proposed, and was given a new job. All I can say is, "be careful what you wish for."
Hi Laurie Sebastians work is gorgeous isn't it, so unique and strange and such high quality.
Re.PHN, mine flares constantly, hence no more full time work, bah. The Shingles, well, I've had it twice now, and once had Parvo Virus (the human version) which felt very similar as it was flaring up the PHN at the same time and brought on similar exhaustion etc.
Like you, I always thought it was older people that got shingles but these days I've met a lot of folk in their 20's and 30's who've had it. I got chicken pox when I was about 8 and I was 32 when I got shingles 1st time.
Maybe it's a symptom of modern diets and stresses that are bringing the age down? Pollution? Who knows. I was having a horrendous time at work when it happened, working 18 hour days and trying to stop my incompetent managers from firing all the good people. I know if that hadn't been going on all would have been fine.And when I got it this time it was one month after being made redundant, so again, a stressful time.
The strangest thing is that I get PHN type flare ups in places where I didn't have the original shingles, like round my shoulder blades. Do you get that too? Others I've talked to have said the same, which makes me think there is a lot more going on, but Doctors just don't have the time or interest to find out what it is.
Anyway, I hope your stressful day of lateness doesn't set yours off again. Hope things calm down a little and that your weekend has less guilt attached.
