<p><br></br> Thank You Rick for the nice words of cheer and well wishes. yes mine started from a flu shot as the doctors opinions after the fact was that it lowered my resistance to catching things. If you recall I was super busy before Christmas and that also played a part in my ability to resist everything and that is why I got the flu shot before I caught the flu. It worked on the flu but I got something worse. Thanks again.<br></br> <cite>Rick said:…</cite></p>

<p>Hate to ruffle a few feathers, but my sister worked with a guy who died from the flu shot. Perfectly healthy, father of four, who HAD to get the shot for work. Unfortunately flu shots, like all drugs, come with side effects. The mainstream media is not reporting these, however, since that would be "irresponsible" journalism.</p>
<p>Jay, I pray you have a speedy and quick recovery.</p>

<p>Thank you Joan for the nice comments. I am trying to get back as I promised to be back soon to pester everyone. I do miss everyone and being unable to do any woodworking is driving me nuts. I have to limit the amount of time I spend on the computer but I do try and read as much as I can from the community's projects and posts. I am impressed by the number of excellent projects.</p>

<p>Thank you Rita for the well wishes. It is a very nasty and painful thing to get and it does do damage if it gets into the eye. The damage it does is in the nerves and thus upsets and effects the central nervous system.</p>
<p>I am improving slowly but sure but requires that I take a strong pain killer and that also makes wood working unsafe. I am hoping to get off this soon. Thanks again for your good wishes. </p>

<p>Hi Jay! Thanks for the update and I hope they can resolve the PHN quickly for you. I had always known that shingles can be very, very painful but had no idea the damage and long term effects that can linger on. Rest easy, be a compliant patient and know that thoughts are with you for a speedy and full recovery!</p>

<p>Hi All, I was on the community for a short while yesterday and I am really impressed with some of the projects that you are turning out. </p>
<p>I have received several inquiries as to my recovery from the shingles so I will up date my status. I wish to Thank every one for your caring and words of encouragement.</p>
<p>My condition is as follows: The shingles has left me with what is called PHN. That is the after effects of shingles of which is nerve damage and pains to areas that it attacked. I have double vision in the right eye caused by the koster virus and both eyes are very sensitive to light from a computer screen, TV or bright light. Doctors fear that to much light will cause further damage to the nerves in the right eye so my time on a computer or TV is very limited at this time. If I over do it I get the extreme pains in the right eye and headaches that last for a long length of time. </p>
<p>PHN can last from one to three months and even longer and some effects never go away. I have an appointment with the Casey Eye Clinic in Portland on May 16 th to see what they can do with the nerve damage in the right eye. They are waiting until then in hopes that the PHN goes away or at least settles down. Casey Eye Clinic Is a highly rated specialty that deals with difficult eye problems and surgery of all types. </p>
<p>Since I have only one eye, it messes with the depth perception and there fore the use of any power tool with a blade is a big NO NO, my shop work is very limited to no power tools and a short length of time in the shop. I did assemble one project of which I had the parts all cut to size before I got sick. I still need to build doors and add the finish. I will post it sometime this summer providing I can use a table saw and router table to build the doors. It was a temptation to start cutting door parts but I am fearful of cutting something off on the saw so building the doors will wait.</p>
<p> I do miss everyone and hope to be able to use a computer at longer lengths of time soon.</p>
<p>Again Thank every one for the encouragement and caring. Please if anyone learns anything from my ordeal, do not take the medical warnings about shingles lightly, as I can tell you that it is a sneaky and nasty disease with lasting effects that can alter your life. Hope to be back soon.</p>
