Work is good...busy but good...So on tuesday my nose starts to run....shit can't be sick...by thursday my chest hurts my back hurts my side hurts and I am soooo sick...I wade thru school...all A's on my tests....I back by heavy ass backpack all over campus with this tingly, burning dull sharp ache in my back and side...I was sure I had Pnemoina....so I sit in urgent care for two hours and pay $110 to have the doctor tell me I need to quit smoking..duh...and my lungs are clear, take some motrin and buck up...so I ask what is the pain from...and I describe it again...He says "sounds like Shingles, do you have a rash?" Hell I don't know I can't look at my back...does he lift my shirt up and look noooo...he says take these here anti-virals and here have some pain meds...so know I have the perfect term paper for my Culture of Addiction class...Why do people get addicted to opiates? He gave me a refill on 7.5 Vicadin(sorry about spelling) OH MY GOD...How I almost became an addict in one doctor visit....that is the tittle I swear...So do I have Shingles? ummm I have 3 or 4 small pimple like spots where the pain radiates from...could I have done with a lower dose of pain killers...oh hell ya...but hey...I guess if I ever break my leg I will be ready...Oh yeah and my cold...totally coughing up green gunk and needed antibotics...will have to go to my regular dr on monday to get those...hummm I wonder what else I can get....

I've had shingles. It SUCKS. Get a second opinion before you take antivirals tho! And if that's what it is you'll definitely need some help with the pain, but try oxaprozin (a buffer version of aleive) or the tylenol-advil cocktail as those are both much more effective than narcotics without the side effects. Sorry babe! Hang in there. Urgent care doctors are horrid. They hand out crazy diagnoses on a whim, I think they have a betting pool for who can misdiagnose the most in one week.

the beat goes on...
so today I called back to the urgent care and made them give me antibotics...for the sinus infection I have...then I had to go to the dentist because I have this huge lump by my front tooth that is very painful...KNOW i have to go to a specialist to have a possible cyst removed from my gum...not cancer to painful....but crap with this ever end...oh yeah and as far as shingles...no sign of them yet....but every time I think about not taking the antivirals I have these weird burning itchy pains....ahhahhhhh
