    I think that stress brought it on... I had a lovely vacation in the Outer Banks with both my kids and all my grandkids. I couldn't relax though... was constantly worried that something would happen to one of the little ones.... so I was on red alert the whole time.... constantly thinking of all the things that could go wrong....with a pool and hot tubs and balconies everywhere...and of course, everyone went off in every direction, and I couldn't keep track....then the ocean with a really strong undertoe...and the oldest grandson swimming way out... Then the 4200 miles of driving....

    Not sure why... but I always have a hard time truly relaxing....

    Coffee, sorry to hear that news. Several years ago my mom had shingles -- very, very bad case. I was so surprised a simple childhood disease could strike again -- years later in a different form. I also just found out there is an adult vaccine !

    Wifey & I are both gonna talk to our doc about it.

    Get Well !

    No time off of work? I'd say you're a very lucky lady then, Coffee. You got off quite easy. A case of the shingles can be quite dire. I really hope you'll be okay...

    Yeah, I am very lucky. My x husband had it years ago, and had horrible pain.

    As usual, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, but the dr. said that I am doing very well, all things considered.
