Re: Bad patches handled with humor

[Guest guest]

I get bad patches from time to time. I handle these by looking at myself with

humor. For instance instead of thinking I can't do something I think boy I'm

lucky I don't do dishes anymore. I can't hang on to wet dishes. If I am really

in a bad patch I look around and I can usually find someone worse off.

I have just learned that not only does stress cause more pain but it can cause

shingles too. I was diagnosed with shingles today but you know what I take

Neurontin anyway for CMT and that also helps the shingles so hey I didn't have

to get a new medicine. It is the bad patches or valleys in life that make us

appreciate the good times.
