Things I have in common with TLR

Got the vaccine in 2012 and had the only seizure of my life a week later. Docs say there's no connection between the two. I remain skeptical but hey, it's been 5-years and I'm shingles free!

Things I have in common with Tony LaRussa, a list, by heyzeus:

1. Both are carbon based life forms.
2. Both have law degree
3. Both possess brilliant baseball minds
4. Shingles

Number four is the kicker. Over the past few days I've had intense radiating pain in my shoulder and upper arm, sometimes the elbow, sometimes the forearm. I worried I had a pinched nerve or tore a muscle or maybe a tumor was pinching a nerve (IT'S NOT A TUMAH!)

Went to the doc last night. Nope, it's shingles. I had no idea it hurt this bad or this way. I can barely lift my arm.

Added bonus rant: Zeus Jr. Jr. spiked a fever right before I went to the doc to get diagnosed. I thought I just had a muscle strain; instead, I probably gave her chicken pox. She's still too little and hadn't been vaccinated yet. NEAT!

This 20 something year old guy I work with got Shingles on his eye and face! He said it's sucks as bad as it looks.

It hurts like a mofo and lasts several weeks.

At least my beautiful, beautiful face remained intact.
