I'm not cursed with hemorrhoids, thank you God! I understand that they're very annoying at the least and a real agony at their worst. I'm sorry if any of our Members have to live with this.
Shazam, Dan~! In a state where "recreational pot" is perfectly legal, you needed to go to the trouble and expense of obtaining a certificate of official medical need? Naw, this world isn't upside down. Wanna bet?
I'm very happy to read that your pain is finally being properly taken care of. Looks like obtaining that state license for medical marijuana was a presciently smart move. Well done!
Beatific Purdue Pharma plus the sainted caring for our health FDA caused the opioid epidemic in our bestest, smartest, most honest country. Thousands have died and thousands more will die from their wunnerful ministrations. This true story is finally being reported here and there on the web.
The public is being taken care of by criminals of commission and omission. The powerful live in a different world than the rest of us. They are never punished or taken to task. The man in the street is subject to many punishments that are not at all deserved. Massive lawful civil disobedience seems to be the only way "up" for us.
I had Chicken Pox as a kid and a "regular shingles attack" when I was about 24. Three days of pain with a rash around my chest, doctor asked if I wanted a real pain reliever. "Nah," I said, hoping to earn brownie points toward my next bout with real pain. And that was it, I don't know how fortunate I was. Whew!
I had the opposite misconception about Zoster. I though EVERYONE who got it was doomed to lie at deaths door cringing in pain. FAR from it! Yours is far the more typical of our experiences.
Think about getting the vaccination George. It cuts recurrence in half. Guess who got the wrong half! LOL
Heres the despicable truth. You have EXACTLY the same disease as I.
I don't know of another disease like it.
( OH WOW! Daniel doesn't know of anything like it, and after all my years of training! Sometimes the way I talk amazes me! !LOL)
It can touch you and might might not even know you had it! And might not ever have it express itself in you again. Despite the fact that it's hiding out in your brain and spinal cord
.As it's a disease of the nervous system it has freeway access to every part of your body. Heart lung, brain all your organs... yet we know it primarily as a skin rash, which sometimes never shows!
Ok it decides it likes flesh. it can cause a rash or/and it can cause muscle aches, paralysis, permanent or temporary and/or nerve pain. or just make you itch a little and depart.
So we can't predict where it will go OR what it will do on the way and when it gets there!
Zoster seems to be right and left sided!
Other types of rashes show no such preference! But repeat victims can have the preferred side change. I have that distinction I'm proud to say!
What Zoster can do if it pops off inside the brain...Brrrrr.
I didn't know it but I might have lost my sight to that first Zoster attach.
It come at you so many ways doing such different thigs you might easily miss that your problems are connected, I missed it twice!
But as I mentioned they are making strides ahead on this. If you get the anti in the first 36 hours of getting a pain rash...your probably going to walk away in fine shape. Most do or most nearly do.
I get screwed because my Zoster doesn't present in the first 36 hours...Without that rash I have to wait until damage is being and I have a full viral load before I know I under assault and can get into the fight.
Its 'a strange and fascinating disease...
(I think Zoster just made me type that!!!!)
If people would just show Zoster the respect and appreciation...
Hey guys gotta go. I'm gonna take another anti-Virus while I'm still in the drivers seat.":O}
