Shingles!!!

Well there was me thinking my Fibromyalgia was having a pop at me, seeing as my RA was behaving. But no, the blister type rash appeared and the pain intensified. Rang Dr who told me to go to the surgery (I also have autoimmune hepatitis) so the immunosuppressants thst I take weaken the immune system further. Anyway, given me some antiviral meds to stop the virus mutating further. Need to get back on track as I'm collecting my son from the airport at the weekend. He's spent three months in Uganda volunteering. Have a good Tuesday everyone.
