The BIG disappointment was that I was supposed to road trip with a PCa Widow to her friends in AZ on Sat, even made CDs for it!! Then fly back tonight, but damn Chicken Pox reactivated - it never did thru 39 chemos of the 28 IMRTs, which btw I started over a year ago.

So, that's what I've been up to😅 Oh, still having issues with Aunt's accounts/condo and did get a Living Urn and a Gardenia for her to place in her garden

[hopeful1956]

Shingles is quite painful. I really feel for you. Had shingles in my early 40's and caught it early but man, was it still painful. I got my Shingrix vaccine to hopefully prevent it from coming back. (I was beginning to worry about you since you haven't posted for a while)

[dockam in reply to hopeful1956]

Mine has been fairly mild - thank goodness💙, or maybe the Calamine did the trick. 1st few nights were tough, but it's waaayyy better.

So sorry that yours was that painful :-(. I gotta think about getting that vaccine.

Ya know that you can always do a wellness check on me by reaching out via chat 😁

dunno if you’ve tried this ….. and you , being a dentist, can upgrade this considerably : you can try lidocaine powder …( Benzocaine ) high purity acs reagent ( $15-$20 on Amazon ) , not that whimpy 5% otc ointment . Mix powder with a soothing base such as Vaseline or other ointment base. Apply generously . Put a salonpas type patch cover on it. You are probably already deep into this but if not , here it is. Hope it clears up soon buddy.

Still love ya buddy

❤️❤️❤️

[dockam in reply to Kaliber]

Oh that's a wonderful combo, but the Calamine is doing the trick right now. I'll keep it in mine for any future skin issues or maybe even have it ready for my 28 miler on my bday. Hmmm

de ja vu. Hubby got shingles after chemotherapy. And I went and got my vaccine. Just a few days ago we were here on the board talking about shingles… you do know that there is medicine 💊 that can reduce the length of your shingles have your doctor prescribed it

Too bad it wasn’t poison ivy 😜

youtu.be/lbrtRlAtNys?si=lHw...(Not working as expected?)

[dockam in reply to MouseAddams]

Oh yikes about Hubs Shingles attack, hope that if wasn't too bad!!

When it hit, my 1st thought was that I shoulda got hit during any of the three chemo sessions, when immune system was maybe compromised

LoL, like learning a new word, it appears to appear more😜

Yea, I read about antivirals and that they can reduce severity and length, but thought like most stubborn men "Yea, it ain't that bad, don't need no doctor. I'll just get Calamine"😃

LoL, Imma need an ocean of Calamine Lotion. Yea too bad

Oh, nooo! I was wondering about you too. Glad you're on the road to recovery. Glad we've both had our Shingrix vax last fall.

[dockam in reply to HikerWife]

Mahalo Sis, really wasn't as bad as what I read - but I'm that guy who did 39 chemos😜

It's drying out and very minor icthing/pain - maybe all that Calamine (a pal o mine) did the trick.

Yay for you getting the vacc.

[DesertDaisy]

Oh no, that's not good Randy. There is a homeopathic remedy, if you're into homeopathics, that is supposed to be helpful for shingles. I keep it on hand just in case we should get them. This is it: pureformulas.com/product/sh...

Reading the reviews, it has helped some people and not others. It can be shipped "next business day" for $26. If so, you may want to do that.

Get better soon.

Kay

[dockam in reply to DesertDaisy]

Mahalo Kay, it's much better, I can sleep on that side and it's drying out and not weeping - ewww

Yes, great reviews, on the slight chance i get reinfected, I'll be able to get the link here💙.

Oh no. Glad you are drying up. There was a clinical trial showing that if you eat Handel's ice cream then shingle blisters dry up faster. Hope you are part of that trial. Be well Doc.

[dockam in reply to GoBucks]

Mahalo BG, and it's funny a year ago was that dog bite whilst training for the Make a Wish event, spent 6 hrs in ER and got 10 stitches.
