The previous two hours can be blamed first on "Kings don't rule the castle - queens do" http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19713567/wid/11915773 (psssst ........ this has always been a practice among the original People aka Native American cultures. Next, this caught my eye "Jump in bed: Sex can help you stay healthy" http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19696794/ . Now although that brightly snatched my attention, this one, not so brightly, held priority "Older folks literally don't get the joke" http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19707401/wid/11915773/ . Which led me to this "Who is at risk for Shingles?" because I had Shingles at the age of 13 years.
Okay, this Shingles article says that a person who has had Chickenpox is a candidate for Shingles. I never had Chickenpox. It also states that a person who comes in contact with a person with Shingles who has never had Chickenpox, will not get Shingles but will indeed get Chickenpox. This is confusing. Here, read it for yourself http://www.shinglesinfo.com/risk-factors-for-shingles.html?WT.srch=1&WT.mc_id=SH03M . After a couple of hours of clicking on one link, leading to another click, I began to research (once again) . . . Lyme Disease. Yep. Lyme Disease which has taken up residence in my body. Not from one tick bite, but two. One old, one new (not a poetic attempt). Something inside me was hoping I'd find some information I had overlooked previously. Nope. All the links were familiar.
I have an appointment with an Infectious Disease Doctor next Thursday at 10:30 a.m. The following Monday, I return to the Neurologist for a followup. He doesn't even know his ordered blood work returned the diagnosis of Lyme Disease. I'm looking forward to seeing him.
Please research Lyme Disease online. Educate yourselves and take steps to prevent your family and friends from contracting the disease. It's painful. The good news is - it's treatable. The downside is - if left untreated, it becomes a monster. I'm fighting that demon as I type. http://www.lyme.org/
As the saying (I hate those) go, last but not least . . . this caught my eye with a bit of eyebrow twitching "What Not to Wear If You're Over 40" http://shopping.aol.com/pages/6-Things-Every-Woman-Over-40-Should-Not-Wear/20323 . Seeing how I passed "40" a decade ago, reading this was a must.
I'm going to get dressed. I'm pulling out my mid-thigh jacket to wear over my horizontal striped (tight) sweater, which in fact looks quite hot with my low-rise, capri-length Levis.
Have a nice day.
