Daily Check In - Fall 2014

I'm pretty sure I have shingles. Will call doctor as soon as they are open! Who can give me insight on what to expect!

It's shingles. Started meds. Pretty uncomfortable but doc said on meds early so shouldn't be any worse than it is now thank goodness. It's tolerable.....just an annoyance!

GoldK --- After I posted that last one, I figured out about the star.
Much easier, now! Haha!

Feeling much better today. Blisters and redness still here but almost painless now and I haven't taken ibuprofen for a day so it truly is almost pain free! I assume the worst is over.
