Doctor Visit

So lately I've been experiencing severe stomach pains for maybe the passed 5 days..I had no idea what it could be. I figure it was food poisoning or because I hadn't eaten much those days but no matter how much I ate, the pain still didn't go away.
Then one late Saturday night, I noticed somewhat of a rash on my lower back and it didn't itch...it was more of a stingy sensation...
So I showed my sister and asked her what I should do...my sister recommended that I drink lots of water and flush out everything in my system because it might be from something I ate. So I drank lots of water but still the stomach pains would still come and ago...sometimes just a minor pain but other times, it hurt like a lil bitch!
I noticed that my rash began to spread but only on one side of my body. It didn't hurt and they don't itch much...my mother suggested it was from food poisoning as well but she insisted that I see a doctor just incase.
So today I woke up and went with my sister to see the doctor.
Fucking waited for 3 hours to see one and when I was in the doctor's office, I was only in there for like 10 minutes! Whaaatevs.
Anyway..he examined my rash and asked if I had any pain and I told him I was experiencing some stomach pains and that the pain would spread only to the left side of my body.
And then he told me I had shingles...haha so casually. I asked him what were shingles...
And basically...Shingles is a viral infection that occurs many years after you have a Chickenpox infection. After you heal up from the Chickenpox sickness, the virus never leaves but it is maintained by your body's immune system...which is why we are immune to Chickenpox after.
Anyway the main characteristics of Shingles is a rash on one side of your body...pretty weird huh? Because that's exactly what I have.
How the virus re-activates is still unknown but my doctor suggested that lack of sleep may be the problem...which is true because I go to sleep at like 3-5 am sooo I do need to sleep earlier.
So he wrote me a prescription for some pills and an ointment. So I go over to the pharmacy and get my medicine.
Pills = $10
Ointment = $130...something ridiculous!!! So I didn't buy it but it's okay because my doctor told me it wasn't required...the main thing was the pills.
The rash should go away in a week or two...and the pain...better go fucking away...
I've been toughening that shit out...fucking Spartan style!!!
Anyway...I'm not contagious unless I scratch my rash and touch you but I haven't touched it at all so don't worry ;]
Still this sucks.. haha


Poop..
