hi sorry to hear about the shingles you know its stress related but who is stressed HA HA, great thing for them is solugel just get it from the chemist its one of the best things to put on them especially when they get scabby, they especially give quite a bit of pain of as the scabs follow the nerve lines, Ive seen heaps in my workplace (AGED CARE) my niggle at the moment is the nonstop burning under my arm from the node removal only warm baths ease it and I cant live in the bath all day or holding my arm in the air and you can only do that for so long. Poor daughter came home with a migrane today and had a good cry thats probably good its just me and her for tea tonight and we are going to watch a dvd simple is sometimes good xx adean
