Chicken Pox never goes away, it lays dormant in your spine. It can reactivate and travel from its hideout along a nerve until it gets to the skin and makes you itchy and miserable, just like it did when you were a kid. This fascinating information I learned after the doctor informed me that I have a case of Shingles.
“Don’t put cream on it,” he said, which is a small victory because I had refused Michelle’s tube of put-this-on-anything cream. There is no question I lost the war though. If I had listened to her, and seen the doctor a few day earlier, I could have received the treatment that is effective within the first 72 hours.
This disease of the young and the old hitting me at my apparent prime of life is tough on the ego, but most painful is that I must admit that all those little girls of my youth were right, “Dirk has cooties!”

Don’t sweat Shingles. It isn’t a disease of the old, I got a case like 10 years ago. Stress can bring it on. I was stressed from a specific work event. Boom, shingles appeared around my groin! When I got an outbreak of pustules around my junk you can believe I went to the doc within 72 hours though. I don’t know if they broke out someplace else for you or if you just sat there looking at them for 3 days. Junk pustules=instant doc visit.
Good luck with those, I have had them twice, both times aligned with high stress. Brutal – I did put some kind of cream on them though to bring down the itching. If that doesn’t work..hit the bottle hard.
