Friends: in light of recent news, may I encourage you to get the Shingles Vaccine if you are eligible (over 50 or have immune system issues) and encourage others in your life to get it.

Shingles took me out for two whole months last year and was incredibly painful. I still have intermittent nerve pain in my face that wakes me up in the middle of the night.

getting shingles is *bad* folks. miss wizard contracted the virus about 20 years ago, was in excruciating pain for months, and, to this day, will not let me touch her in the area of the outbreak due to lingering discomfort.

this virus stole a part of my partner from me.
