It started with an itch....

The mornings are frosty



It all started with an itch! My wife started to complain about itching, we put it down to a allergie of some kind connected to food. Then last week on Sunday my wife after having a shower showed me her left leg and pointed out two to three small blisters that had appeared over night We could not make head or tail of what they could be. Later on during the day she started to have lots of pains in leg and in her groin.
On Monday she decided to go to the doctor and he sent her straight away to a skin specialist who on taking one look at her leg diagnosed Shingles. We were quite taken back because we never thought in one moment that Shingles would break out on the legs.
By Wednesday it had covered most of her left leg and was working it's way up her back, she was in terrible pain and at one stage I thought we might have to take her to the hospital. Lucky enough on Thursday morning the rash was a lot better. Over the last few days she has not been feeling all that good and is resting a lot. This kind of virus knocks the hell out of one.

Take care of yourself were ever you are Tschüss.
