This is no bug bite!

Saturday in the middle of the night I woke up with my neck was aching. After church on Sunday, the pain was worse and my neck felt like it was on fire. When I was putting my hair in a ponytail, I noticed four small dots on my neck. It looked like some sort of spider bite. I tried everything from baking soda paste, insect bit ointment to cortisone. Nothing seemed to be helping.

Tuesday afternoon the pain spread to my shoulder. Before I knew it, the supposed bug bit spreed. I called my Mom for advice. She thought that I might have shingles and to call my sister in law and ask her the symptoms. After talking to her and looking up things on the Internet I was a bit freaked and an thought I had better get to the doctor.

So the doctor confirmed it. I did in fact have shingles. Not only is it painful, but I am so worried about my kids getting it. I feel like I have some sort of plague. And now I am being corintined. Well not really, but I don't want anyone else to get it.
