06/10 - Three Thoughts for Thursday

Shingles is trending on twitter and like every tweet I've seen has been full of totally incorrect info. Stuff like, "you won't get shingles if you've had chicken pox," and " chicken pox gives you an immunity to shingles." Wut?! I finally cracked when I saw a tweet that said, "my grandma didn't get shingles until her 60s, so it might sneak up on you eventually!" Shingles? The same shingles that is re-activated chickenpox cause it lies dormant in your spinal cord until it possibly comes back to life in a hellish manner? The same shingles where your risk increases as you get older, so it's most common in people over 50? Omg, I hate myself right now.



Anyway, gonna go burn down twitter now. It clearly broke me today.

 

Do you make your own espresso, or did you use strong coffee?

 

The only shingles I know of are the ones you put on roofs.

 

It made me look like a monster for like 2 weeks

 

I appreciate the info! I'm pretty sure I knew that, but sometimes incorrect facts can kinda sneak into your mind when you hear them over and over again.

I'll keep that in mind

 

And let me tell you guys something. Putting those on a roof in the blazing Ohio sun in July is just a wonderful experience. Especially while the guy that just went to get his 6th beer from his cooler before 10am yells at you "WELCOME TO AMERICA! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHALOLOLOLolol"

 

Oh hey, thanks for the reminder that I'm prolly gonna get old' people pox too. Yay!

 

Get the vaccine when you turn 50! SAVE YOURSELF! I SUFFERED SO YOU CAN LEARN!

 

I have been banned from all their stores in my area so I have to look online now.

 

I'm not fucking around here. You. do not. want. shingles. My leg still tingles and I have little scars that I have to put cream on 3x a day
