this sucks. the rash is mild, but all the neighboring skin feels sensitive and i got all the cold-like symptoms but at least i spotted it early and got on antivirals. also it's my dominant side, so everything is more annoying except sitting at my desk at home not moving

my wife worked in physical and occupational therapy and said that at least in the hospital system what happens is that they end up damaging their body enough moving people (hmm, regs say this is a 3-person carry but we only have 2 available so…) that they have to stop doing that work by middle age

a lot of them move into non-clinical roles, I think

That sucks I didn't know they had to do stuff like that. I thought they like taught you how to work out after you got a peg leg or something.

i was lucky (unironically) and got the shingles near my eye and went to the doctor immediately upon feeling a stinging sensation in my eyeball along w/ a very mild rash and the dermatologist knew instantly it was shingles and got me on antivirals in record time

this stuff usually works great, but also i succumbed to the gadget lifestyle and bought one of these things to look inside my ear and scoop the wax out. I feel like purchasing something like this is immediate qualification for this thread.

it definitely works but it’s weird. it encourages you not to develop a tolerance for it, because if you take too much at once it can cause like, dysphoria? but it’s fine so long as you’re only eating a few at a time. and even then it’s only middling, not as good as soma or something

yiiiiiiikes! yeah, eye/face is super risky so that is very lucky

fart simpson posted:

yeah, like if i didn't get the additional spots i would have assumed the initial blister was an ingrown that was really tender

it's finally resolving with plenty of rest and antivirals, but my underarm is very tender so i expect that to linger

i took morphine pills when i broke my ankles several years ago and they worked a charm, last year when i had sciatica i asked the doc for them again, he obliged. they did cut the pain but they also made my skin feel hypersensitive even to the weight of a lone bedsheet :confuoot:
