Probably Worse

I know this will get better because I cannot fathom it feeling any worse although my eighty-eight year old mother put bleach on her shingles. That was probably worse.

Shingles are very painful. My twin sister had to deal with that pain. After that I went to get the shot and so far I have not been bothered by them. Hope you feel better if it is you who has them? xxoo

I am the culprit, and although this is week 3 they have barely started to dry up. They are in a place that is notoriously wet. It is terrible.

...yeah, I don't think bleach works that way, chemical burns different ;)

Ay Carumba! Well I could see the reasoning in it, the only thing that worked for me with bad poison ivy was scalding hot water, thank goodness I haven't had shingles, my step mum did, spread to her eyes, I can't imagine.

The truth too Maureen. Someone told her it would get rid of them more quickly. I am not even tempted. Mine already feel like someone is throwing kerosine on me and lighting it once every ten minutes.
