NO SHINGLES!!!! WOOOOO-HOOOOOO!!!!

YEAH! YIPPEEE!!!! God Rocks!!! Thanks for your prayers. I have to tell you, I had already made up my mind that I had shingles and figured God would just get me through it. But I don't! WOOOO-HOOO!!!! I have an inflamed trigeminal nerve. It can give you the same symptoms of pre-erupting shingles. But no blisters and way less pain, I'm told. If it was shingles, I would have shown blisters by now. There's no real treatment except to treat what might be inflaming the nerve. Which seems to be some kind of bacteria right now - so I'll remain on the antibiotics for now. If I'm not significantly better by Wed or Thur, she's going to check me out again and see what's up. Or if I do present with blisters, I have to call right away. But for now, we're going with inflamed trigeminal nerve. WOOOO-HOOOO!!!



The needle pin prick pain and itching is driving me to distraction but I'll take this over the pain I've heard you have from shingles any day!
