Darling hubby has been under the weather for over a week now..

His headache began late last Thursday before last (yes, October 29th) all weekend he was miserable.  I suggested he was having a migraine, but he didn’t think so.  He thought he had giant cell arteritis — his symptoms matched what he could find on the internet.

He finally went to the doctor on Tuesday morning.  She confirmed my migraine theory and gave him some potent anti-inflammatories.  He ended up missing two and a half days from work, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday — darling hubby has not missed work in years.

Over the weekend some little crusties popped up around his eye and his eye was looking a little pink so hubby thinks he now has conjunctivitis and says once he shows up for work on Monday they will send him right back home.

So he sees one of the office docs and learns that what he has been suffering with is shingles!  In his eye, around his eye, and on his head.

OMG!  He has shingles on his poor head!

Recall that I had shingles back in June of ‘06, but I had them were most people do, around my stomach and back —- but they can pop up just about anywhere on your body.  Google up shingles rash in images and you will see where they can occur and how badly they can look.

The pain is so bad.  It’s like millions of little pin pointed grease burns all over the affected area —- and my poor hubby has shingles on his head!

I was much luckier that he was when it came down to where I was affected.  Poor, poor, darling hubby…

You should send him some get well greetings — sooner, internet!
