[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 68364, member: 1991"] A friend of mine had shingles across her forehead - she was very lucky, the only effect then (and still) is that she is hypersensitive to a breeze on her forehead. it gives her a burning sensation. She bought a wrap hat (I think they're an Aussie invention, also known as Araphat) which is like a baseball cap with visor, but with a long scarf-like flap hanging down at the back, which you can also wrap around your face, fold up, roll out of the way or whatever you need. I find mine fabulous on a windy, sandy beach when the wind is giving me a massive earache, the sun is too glaring and the sand is in my face. It protects me from the lot and then can go in the washing machine afterwards. The spinal meningitis - did you have a positive lumbar puncture? I had symptoms of it years ago, but the spinal tap was negative. My doctor called it aseptic meningitis. The steroids probably predisposed you to the shingles - sometimes you just can't win. Are you able to go out in the sun yet? That is a good way to help your body absorb calcium - get your daily dose of Vitamin D the natural way. If you need to protect your face then use your scarves plus baseball cap for the Araphat effect and let the rest of your body get the sun. I've been a bit absent lately, but unlike you I have no valid alibi. Just a sore rear end from a lot of injections. Maybe between the two of us, we make one whole person? It was good to see you back on the morning thread. Marg [/QUOTE]
