shingle-d

i've been shingle-d. ARGH!!!
the red spots on my back turn out to be something called shingles, a more painful, more itchy, less contagious strain of chicken pox.
apparently, people who've gotten chicken pox before can't get it again, so they get shingles instead.
the funny bit about it though, is that if u touch the liquid when it's burst, the liquid can cause the person to get chicken pox and not shingles.
the doc also says that i might get occasional fevers, which might explain the pooh bear nightmare.
die ah die. the itch is torturing me and the pain is killing me.
time to go take my medicine again. bleah.
i hate you shingles.
