Shingles/chickenpox anyone?
I am 50 years old. On Tuesday afternoon, I felt a little achy and made a point to check frequently and never had any fever. Woke up yesterday, Wednesday, morning somewhat speckled up, especially in my scalp. Went to see my doctor.....went through the COVID mask & screening bs......no fever. Doc says it looks like flea bites. Ha, I do actually end up waking up with my son’s lab, Rossi, sometimes. She’s big as a horse, but I don’t ever notice when she joins me in the night. So I did wake up with Rossi yesterday morning.
Told my doc about the achy feeling so he decided it might be chickenpox, but it just didn’t look like chickenpox. I told him I had never had chickenpox and he said that by age 50, I had most assuredly been exposed to it. So he gives me medicine for shingles, even though it doesn’t look like shingles. This morning, I’m all speckled up like a big ole crappie, except my spots are red with little clear blisters. All over my head, face, neck, chest & back. None below the waist yet. They kinda itch, but I’ve been attacked by chiggers before and nothing itches like them tiny little buggers.
Just sitting here wondering if anyone has had shingles or chickenpox later in life like I have now. Not too bad yet........probably just jinxed myself!!!
