Is Toni receiving an award??? Congratulations Toni! What's it for?

Shingles and chicken-pox are part of the herpes family of viruses and I think are nerve related...manifest themselves in the nerve endings. Shingles is generally a stress related condition. I think that sufferers of cold sores (also herpes virus) display sores when stressed or run-down, or have had too much sun exposure.

Toni, maybe it is a good idea to stay out of the sun when you have shingles? Look into a medication called L-lycine also.

Sebastiaan that must be terrible contracting shingles in the ear. Good luck.

Ad, I think that ''gordelroos'' is the Dutch equivalent word for shingles.

Hi Guys, Yes I am better with the shingles. I been struggling with a sick girl lately but thankfully she is on the mend so now I am able to get things in the lathe room again. The award I went down to was I was commended for loosing 25kg of weight. I still got that much and more to loose but the first place co-ordinator wanted me to come and share my journey with other because most that share there stories were woman that only lost 5-10 kilos but not a person that has come back from 135kg. This story is still a work in progress but it is happening bit by bit and with prayer I will get there because I refuse to be fat and forty. Something in me does not want that at all
bye Toni
