also cool facts : it’s not restricted to old people but old people are more likely to get it

most people once get it once but for some people they get it a few times and once met a dude who got it about once a year :waycool:

I got shingles when I was like 22 or 23

it sucked. the significant pain only last a week or two though, and they gave me vicodin so it was fine

it's to help inform doctors and also loved ones that you may prefer to stay at home and die an earlier death rather than be hospitalised, live for a bit longer, but die in a hospital. generally doctors have to make decisions to extend the length of the life of someone, unless they have good reason to think the person wouldn't want that


I want to put a DNR on myself now, but I also enquired to find out that this just informs doctors of your wishes, they can still choose to ignore them :argh:
