Just how stressed am I?
Oh, my body decided to tell me.
Awesome...
“Shingles is a reawakening of the
virus that once gave you chicken pox. For most people, that virus lays
dormant, often forever, in the nerves near the spinal cord. In 10% to
20% of adults, it mysteriously “wakes up”, causing a painful, blistery
condition called shingles. Why this happens is anyone’s guess, but a
weakened immune system seems to be key - from illness, emotional stress,
use of immunosuppressant drugs, or even the natural aging process (many
of those who get shingles are over age 60).” ~Best Health
Go figure that I would be the one to
get yet another thing that only happens to a small percent of the
population. Wonderful. Just another little something to add to my shit
list.
