I started sewing when I was very young. My mother sewed, I would help her, so I’ve done this all of my life.

This is her story - other people's experiences with shingles may be different.

When the headache began and the odd feelings began in my nerves, I didn’t understand. It scared me. When I first learned that I had shingles, I did not believe it. When they told me how long the effects of this were going to be, I laughed. The immediate symptoms are these lesions that surface, so mine were around my eye. When my vision was impaired, that lasted three weeks.

This summer was difficult because I love to be outside. While I was home alone with shingles, I was sewing. You can’t even do that that long. I felt marooned. It is very lonely and if it’s at all preventable, it would be so easy. Shingles was humbling; it humbles you to understand that you really need to take advantage of all the time you have.
