hey all,
Well thought things couldn't get any worse, but they have. Just been diagnosed with Shingles- it's about the fourth time i've had them- so painful. So i can't be on clinical placement cause I could put patients at risk, so I have to wait till they clear up- which is at least two weeks. so hopefully they don't take any longer, cause I can't afford to delay placement, because it will effect my graduation.

love em

O sweety,

What a terrible blow on top of everything else you are going through. Sending hugs and love your way.

Try to smile today - apparently that act of doing it can fool our brains into feeling happy! Hope things work out for you soon.

Love and light.

Hi Em!

Shingles eh? That is a real blow on top of all the other things that are going on at the moment. I hope they clear up real quick so you can get on with your study!

Cheers,
Michael

hey everyone,
thanks all for your reply's. Yeah it's my fourth time i've had shingles so not happy- I think my immune system is shot. Anyways i'm trying to keep going, it's tough but I guess I have the philosophy that everything happens for a reason(even though at times it's hard to figure out why).
take care all, love em

Ouch. How's your stress level? I haven't had shingles, but a very close friend got them after suffering the stress of having a still-born baby. She suffered for over a year.

So, I wish you a speedy recovery and easy-to-access areas of concern. I also hope that whatever is causing your stress or immune problems (probably related?) can be resolved.

Thinking of you.

Dear Em,
Sorry to hear about your shingles. What a rotten thing to happen after everything else you have to cope with at the moment. I hope you get better soon, I'll say an extra prayer for you for a speedy recovery. :)
Take care sweety, I'm thinking of you! :)
Luv, ((hugz)) & smiles
