Ouch… ! Went to the docs a week or so ago with the wife. While she was there I asked him about some itchy pimples I had on my shoulder. Aha… says he… shingles! Weird, thinks I… doesn’t shingles cover the stomach, chest and back?
Apparantly not… well not always anyway. Seems the virus travels a nerve path and is only a problem if it attacks many nerves at a time. Anyway… since then I developed a few more lumps further down my back. What lumps I *do* have are actually quite painful… and of course itchy… by as I have a nice wooden back scratcher it’s quite manageable.
I just hope it doesn’t get worse – I’ve known people who’ve had it covering them and they’ve been in *real* pain!
I wonder what marvellous hiccough in evolution produced such a weird diseases? I think nature is a wonderful thing. 😀
