Well I still have it, Pains been so bad it caused other issues and I became dehydrated, to the point Cam and I were being looked at in an ER around the same time and spent a night in the hospital under observation. Today my doctor prescribed another round of anti viral and Lyrica for the pain. I'm officially old I'm getting a drug they have those awful ads on TV for.

Get the vaccine.

Wow the Lyrica worked great. Slept for 13 hours. Feeling much better. My wife has convinced me that going to the game tomorrow would be a bad idea and unfortunately I have to agree with her. Our first regular season game together in 2008, for other reasons, I ended up being wheeled out of the stadium in a wheelchair because I thought I would be fine even though I was sick, so I can't really argue with her anymore.

The problem with shingles is that, unless you've had them before, you don't realize what it is when the tingling/burning/sensitivity starts, and by the time the rash pops up and you do realize it's too late for medications (antivirals) to be effective.

 

I must have had Shingles in the mid-90's then.  The doctor said it was VD.  What a liar.

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
