I have shingles. Again. Caught them early so they aren't awful. But jeez, enough already. My doctor said that even after successful treatment, people who have had Hodgkins always show some evidence that their immune systems are not quite as effective as average.
I was expecting Yoga to save me from this.

Sympathy! Hugs!
That sucks. How long is the expected treatment/recovery?
More yoga!
Beth, I don't know, but it's not really that bad. I have a slight, kind of weird headache. It's just, well, it wasn't supposed to happen again, you know? It's the affrontery.
David, I am doing sun salutations as I type this.
Oh crap. That can't be fun.
Enough with the sun salutes, take some =drugs!=
Isn't there supposed to be a vaccination for shingles? But maybe it's not out yet. I wonder if it works for the future if you've had it already.
I've heard tai chi helps with shingles, and since yoga also involves a lot of slow movement and breathing and uncomfortable positions and sweat, I bet it'll help too.
Lucette, the vaccine only works if you haven't had them, alas.
Drugs are working really well, I'm glad to say. Caught it very early, drugs have hit it hard, all good stuff.
Feel better soon!
I hope you recover from them quickly, Maureen.
