 |
|
Not a do i have it, its been confirmed i do have it. And my god i never thought a viral infection in the skin that could top Cellulitis in the pain department.
Been suffering from really bad tingling pains, and then sudden stabbing pains that make me jump, which i'm assuming is normal for shingles?
I've been giving Aciclovir 800 mg and also Co Codamol 30/500 mg. 4 days in and its still just as bad, if not worse.
Now as i work with vulnerable adults, my Mum, a nurse has recommended i take a week off to rest, which i agree with.
However some of you may remember i posted a topic about work issues in regard to sickness https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=179046 this one, since then i've worked 49.5 - 56 hours a week for them till this week. Now i'm due in tommorow, and i cant get a sick note till monday, so if the unreliable issues arise again, how do i go about solving them? ____________________ JACK, MISS YOU LOADS YOU LEGEND. |

7 days self, after that need GP letter.
You shouldn't be near anyone in hospital if you have shingles, they should understand. ____________________ Current : MSX 125 Past : CBR 900RR Monkeybike : c50 LAC : ZXR750 H2 : FZR600 : ZX7R P3 : YW100 : TRX850: Trophy 900 T309 : GSXR 600 L0: Monkeybike : XJ6S Whosthedaddy |
