Sidebar Discussion #2

[logicalgirl]

My husband got shingles when we were engaged. I was a kindergarten teacher at the time and he had visited my school for some program or something (don't really remember what it was). Because he was a different race from the students, his hair felt different and a lot of the kids touched his hair.

He was 27 and was under stress of being engaged and working. But, most people work and we'd been engaged for awhile so no sudden stress, that I knew about.

He got shingles a little while after the hair incident AND there was a chicken pox outbreak at the school around that time. I just assumed he had "caught" it from one of them. For almost 20 years, I've been blaming those sweet, innocent children. I should be ashamed.

He must have had a mild case because he never mentioned pain and it cleared up pretty easily.

Interesting - it wasn't just chicken pox for the first time? When I was a kid, most kids routinely got it here - but I know that isn't true for a lot of people..but if he did have it - then he was very lucky. It's hard to explain the "kind" of pain it is...I still get a "thousand pinpricks" of itching on my head all of a sudden once in a while...

NBC Finds Clever Way
Around Paying for Interview

 

[Murphismo]

I remember I got this "stuff" called periorthodermatitis, they didn't diagnose me after 7 doctor's and were convinced it was shingles.... Nevertheless, I looked like a monster and it hurt like the beejeepers - they even gave me fibromyalgia meds it hurs so flipping bad. So, I hope she comes down with that, oh, and some lice just for good measure, maybe even my personal favorite paracite (ascarus) - yes I know way too much about biology... But on the upshot, I am starting a new career in nursing this year so I'm sure I'll be able to come up with some really disturbing visuals for everyone!

So where is the clever part??? Or is the part about NBC fooling the American viewers????

I suffer from ibs. I would only wish that on somebody like her. There are times that I cannot function normally. You never go anywhere without knowing where the bathrooms are located.

I feel you..I have interstitial cystits. Took me 9 mo to get an answer to why I had broken glass in my bladder. Same thing with the bathrooms..not fair! She should have one of these things!

Happy Release-the-juror-names-Eve!

 

[strawberry]

On twitter people are saying how the MJ defense witness sounded like a prosecution witness. Maybe JB has something to comment on there after all, he does have experience with that...

So how IS the DessertLady these days?

So how IS the DessertLady these days?

Did they release HER hame? I want some scoop (no, not ice-cream)

I think somewhere I remember reading about the Dessert Lady, who did provide the desserts for the trial. But she is not the same person as Strawberry's tweeter who uses that "hat"...:innocent:

 

[LambChop]

Wonder if she feels KC did not get her "just desert?" jmo

 

[theBritster]

I wonder if the jurors will stay out of the limelight or if they'll start doing interviews once their names are released. Personally, I've heard enough but I'm still curious!

 

[bayouland]

JVM is doing some major bolstering (to put it lightly) of JB on HLN. OMG, flipping the channel.

 

[jon_burrows]

Baez coming up on JVM if anyone wants to watch it.

Looks like he is trying to start up a media career as he will be commenting on the Michael Jackson case.

Rant on:

I just worked overtime, got caught in massive traffic getting home, and all I wanted to do was relax, lay down on the couch and watch the MJ trial updates. I took off my makeup, jewelery, and put on my pjs to watch the genius of Propofil on a nice cozy couch. As soon as I got all comfy JB's smirky face popped up on HLN. I guess he got his talking head job.

Guess I know why JVM has been kissing his arse and ran after him like a fool when she was in Orlando. I cannot stand to look at that man nor can I stand to hear him talk. I turned the TV off and came over here to rant. My husband said enough is enough about that travesty of justice. Don't you dare put money in his pocket by watching that lying scum. I'll get my update from the internet or hopefully a kind websleuther typed a recap of the day. I wanted to see the Dr. of Propofil make the DT look like fools.

Arggggghhhhhh why can't JB go live on a deserted island all by himself. Are we going to be subjected to his smirk forever. He is so blasted annoying. Surely there are other talking heads that actually have something in between their ears aside from air.

Rant off...sorry to unload on you. My friends and family refuse to even discuss these cases.

I think JB and JVM are a perfect fit. Neither one of them can get their facts right. jmo

It was so weird - I thought people had to be really run down and stressed out to get shingles but thought about it as only an "old" people's kind of rash. I knew it was painful for people and thought people usually got it around their waist. In other words I knew nothing. Young people and people of any age get it and get it apparently more than once.

So imagine my surprise when I woke up one morning with a terrible earache and a bunch of small bumps all over my scalp, plus a couple of spots up by my eye! I was really lucky - not liking pain at all and who gets earaches over the age of eight (?) I stopped in at the drug store and talked to one of the pharmacists I know, to get something for my ear. She asked me to push my hair back and had a quick look in my ear and said - I am "not telling you this" but please go immediately to your doctor for a script for shingles for the anti-viral - cause it's going to get much worse. It did. But not as bad as if I hadn't taken the meds. Particularly on your face they watch for strokes, etc. because it attacks the nerve endings.

It's nasty and I'd advise anyone who hasn't had the protective shot to get one if you had chicken pox as a child. Apparently the virus lies dormant in anyone who has had it - and it just takes an "event" to bring it up. With the anti viral and a lot of rest you are "out" for about six weeks - without it 2 - 6 months. Flu like fatigue along with it. And nerve sensitivity for years afterwards - can't stand the sun or the cold on my head - and I have a lot of hair - it's just that the nerves are still very sensitive.

Ack - there I go - O/T again even for the Sidebar thread. Sorry peeps and mods...

Don't be sorry. I find it very informative. You are the first person that I've heard that had it elsewhere than the waist.
I knew it was painful. Dosen't it also belong to the chicken pox family?
I had no idea that it has so many side effects. Thanks for the info.
