Re: Terri G..Portacath & shingles

[Guest guest]

Thanks Terri.. Even though I know the risk of shingles comes with

Remicaid I am still a bet shocked I have them. I had a small red spot

a week ago Sunday and by Monday morning I was getting the tingle/pain.

It started on my cheek and spread around my eye, nose and inside my

throat....then this last sunday it started swelling around my other

eye. So far on the left side it is only around the eye and not inside

either one. The first areas are starting to go down a bit. I have

heard some really horrible stories about shingles and I think so far

I've been lucky. Thanks again

How awful shingles sound. My mother had them on her butt year before last & she was really miserable. Can't remember what they gave her besides Neurontin. I think that was for the pain & other side effects she had. grannylunatic@...
