Yesterday I was diagnosed as having shingles, and I'm less than chuffed.
Visibly, I have a rash forming a line right around the right side of my
torso from front to back. My right side was very tender for a few days
beforehand, but at the moment the spots are really no problem. What's
bothering me are the invisible symptoms, specifically:
(a) an acute awareness of my kidneys. When I walk, it feels like a
couple of cricket balls are thumping about in my back. Running just
isn't an option at the moment.
(b) a strange tightness in the muscles my my abdomen and thighs, which
means that just about any sitting or lying position is uncomfortable...
and that makes night time a challenge.
The lack of exercise is starting to get to me, but my main concern is
missing the next cross-country league race in Bournemouth on 12 Jan.
I'm trying to be sensible, but it's frustrating.
