Very positive blog

me too, I would be staying here permanently since blogjob is not working and blogbourne is out of the question as for now… let us keep our finger crossed

This is the only site I am participating. I hope other members can be active as much as possible because this site is really good and according to many members here, it pays on time.

Any site that pays will stick around. And as of now LB seems the only site that pays well and pays on time.

A site that pays will stick around. While writers write to give vent to their thoughts they certainly expect to be paid.

You are right. If tinycent does not pay I will not go there. I have stopped blogging for now.

It will be boring if we had no challenges to meet. There is joy when challenges are met. As you have said using our stengths is the way to go

We cannot deny the fact that once in a while, we commit mistakes in life. And when that mistake overtakes your emotions and your mind, you will become a loser. But if that mistake became a challenge to you to do better, then that would be a plus.
We are not a perfect person, we already have that sinful nature that makes us go through shortcomings in life, but we should deal with those shortcomings properly and wisely.
Take your shortcomings positively.

Doctors won’t tell you this, but the body can actually clear the herpes virus out of its system eventually by itself, no matter which form of herpes it is. I was diagnosed with it as a teenager and then retested as an adult…it had totally gone away.

There is a vaccine now on the market that will prevent shingles or herpes zoster in the adult. Here in Canada you can get it at the pharmacy but the price is steep at 250$. The name of the vaccine is Zostavax and it is highly recommended to every adults who have had chicken pox in their youth. I am sorry to hear that you are still suffering side effects of this nasty virus. My father suffered from it and was even hospitalised at its beginning and treated with Acyclovir intravenously for it. But he never complained of any sequel afterwards.

sorry to hear of your problem, i thought those are blisters, didn’t know that it would bring in so many problems.

Maybe you can check with private hospital for more advice, general hospital leave patients less options

When my children were little, the chickenpox vaccine had recently become available and our pediatrician recommended against it for several reasons. At that time, there was only a single dose in infancy. And he said immunity would likely wear off just when the child was most vulnerable to serious complications from the disease.

The other thing he told me is that more people are getting shingles now because fewer adults are exposed to small children who have chickenpox. Because most are now vaccinated, the parents and grandparents aren’t exposed in adulthood – when apparently, this could help to ward off a shingles attack. There is a shingles vaccine, which may help those 50 years and older who have had chickenpox themselves. Failing that, it may actually be beneficial to be exposed to a child with the virus (check with your doctor first!)

We had the exposure when our three oldest caught the virus. So I’m hoping we are safe. But I think perhaps when the shingles vaccine is available to us, we will take it. I’ve seen my mother suffer with shingles and, like you, she was left with painful nerve damage. That’s something I think we’d all rather avoid.

I hope you can find a solution to your pain.
