Speaker 1 (00:00):
Do you know who Tyree's caliburtness?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
No, okay, no big deal plays for the Indiana Pacers.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Did not play this year. He was injured with a
turn right achilles tendon, so he didn't play this year
as he was recovering from that.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
But I guess I don't know if this has been
out for a long time, but I guess he was
talking about it like once the season ended, he said
on Monday, one day after the Pacers completed a nineteen
win season without their two time All star ever suiting up.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Oh, so, I guess he just revealed this.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yesterday, Haliburton told reporters that while he's ready to return
from the achilles injury, it's the illness that he will
contend with during this offseason.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Pardon me.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
His illness has caused him to gain weight, lose part
of his right eyebrow, and forced him to wear eyeglasses
to avoid scratching his swollen eye. Tyrese Aliburton has shingles
and it sounds horrible.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
So did he come out because of what the internet
was saying about the waking?
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Probably so they thought he was just like lazy, but
he was recovering.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
They were calling him a halla Berger.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Oh hey, good name for a restaurant. Though, yes, maybe
I don't know if that's why they came out or
he came out, but he was talking about having shingles.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
What's the eyebrow thing?
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Yeah, so don't they say with like your eyes can
get damaged?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Don't they say with shingles? Well, first of all, the
headline that they'll tell you about shingles is you should
be more freaked out by shingles, and people aren't.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
People aren't. People who have had shingles will tell you
it's horrible.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Yeah, I remember I had it, But did you have
it bad?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Dude, the rash across my.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Did it hurt body? Did it hurt?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Awful?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
They said it the one thing I was reading.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I've never had shingles, but they said that it feels
like you're getting stuck with like stabbing needs, like fire needles.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Yeah, it's right on the nerves. But what I've learned,
and maybe the stuff you read about Tyree's yesterday or
that other headline, I've learned and so many years ago,
but in the last few years, like I'm more susceptible
now to other stuff. And I didn't know that, like
my doctor at the time did not explain what could
(02:42):
be ahead for me because of the shingles.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Wait, so once you have shingles, you're more susceptible to
other things.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I honestly, I want to say one of the things
is a stroke.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
No way, no way, I'll look that up. Because you
had shingles, you could have a stroke.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Listen, I'd rather gain weight too, but I want to
say that that popped up At some point.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Haliburton went on to say, Hey, Kristen, will you do
me a favor?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Will you find me somebody who's has either has it
or just has gotten over shingles? By the way, you
know the other thing. You know, the other thing that
shocked me yesterday? What percentage of people will get shingles?
Speaker 5 (03:21):
It's high, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
What percent Why once you get turn fifty they tell
you to get the vaccines.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
What percentage of people will get shingles?
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Is it like forty?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
You're very close? One in three, one in three. I
would have said, eah, one in one hundred. I wouldn't
think it.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
That's like, what did Dustin have it on his head?
Speaker 6 (03:46):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Maybe he did? Did Duston have shingles on?
Speaker 7 (03:49):
He said?
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Last summer.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
It does sound right the But was he miserable?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I mean, he's always miserable. But did he he wore
a hat?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I don't know if that's true.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
He did wear a hat, I remember that. But did
he have like some cream or something in his head?
Or was it just because of the itching?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Anyway?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Can I let me get back to Tyree's South? Oh,
will you find me somebody who's dealt with shingles? Eight
six six to Elliott eight six six two three five
five four six eight. It caused him to gain weight,
It caused part of his right hol eyebrow.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I got that. He said. It's been miserable.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I have good days and bad days, but for the
most part, it's been nothing but bad days. I've been
taking unbelievable amounts of medication to try to get rid
of it.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
It hasn't worked.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
It's not been fun, and hopefully it goes away soon.
It's been really it's hard to really tell with nerve pain.
But I've been dealing now with nerve pain for two months,
and in the world of nerve pain, that's not very long.
One in three Americans will get shingles, according to the CDC,
while most recover. It sometimes causes severe complications. It can
(04:57):
infect the eye and cause vision loss, and up to
twenty percent of shingles patients suffer excruciating nerve pain for
months or years.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Years.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Yeah, I guess it was at least for the short term.
I was one of the lucky ones.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
And there's no it just does. It just goes away
on its own.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I don't think I did anything for it.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
They like you could put on You could put on
like like creams or like the numb it you can
you could take medication, but you can't it.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I don't think there is a cure for it. I
don't think there is like a like a medicine that
you take for it.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Line two, Hi Elliott in the morning.
Speaker 8 (05:39):
Elliot, Yes, sir, Hey it's Sam Watkins. I've talked to
you many many times.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (05:45):
He used to be a police officer and I had
shingles for four and a half years, one and.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
All four and a half years.
Speaker 9 (05:52):
Yes, sir, how did you do you know?
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Do you know how you got it?
Speaker 9 (06:00):
Dress?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yes? Thank you?
Speaker 9 (06:03):
It was, I mean, and it came on apparently.
Speaker 8 (06:09):
I was one of the lucky ones where normally you
just get it like on one specific area of your body. Well,
I would get it in two, except it would be
like on my lower right side and on my upper
left side, or I had it in my eyebrow.
Speaker 9 (06:24):
Most of the time it was on my back.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Oh, I can't reach it.
Speaker 9 (06:28):
And being a being a police officer, that sucked because
I was always wearing a vest right, so I'd go
home and basically take my vest off and then peel
my t shirt off.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
They said that with all the welts and stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Oh, I'm sure they said for the most part, it
affects the torso area, but they did.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
So Tyler had it right.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
They did say it can get in your face, it
can get get in your eyes, like, it can get anywhere,
but mostly it's your torso.
Speaker 9 (07:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (07:01):
I had it in my eyebrow and thought it was
poison ivy and try to treat it that way, and
then it started burning like somebody had dumped gas in
my eye and my.
Speaker 9 (07:08):
Doctor was like, oh, yeah, you could have lost your
eyes sight. I'm like, that's that's awesome, dude.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Thanks unreal And they said that until like and listen,
people don't people don't I don't.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Know, take it seriously enough or respect it or think
that well they're gonna be.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
That's what it's start of.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
You should be more freaked out by shingles because the
odds are eight.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Wait, so you're four and a half years in. Are
you over it? Are you still dealing with it?
Speaker 9 (07:38):
I know I left the police department in twenty nineteen
on a Friday and by that Monday and went away
and never came back.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And they do say, hey, thank you sir.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
They do say, like, if you're immunocompromise, you have a
higher chance of it rearing its head.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
It could live dormant in your body for years, and
I don't remember if it's like I know they say
it's very chicken pox ish, but I don't know if
it's like if you had the chicken pox.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
You get it if you didn't have I don't know
what that one is.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
However, they said it can live dormant in your body
for years, but it could be brought on if you're
immunocompromised and something triggers your system. They said, stress kicks
that bitch into high gear.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Isn't the same virus that causes chicken pox.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I think I don't know exactly what it is.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
It's a reactivation of that virus. So if you've had
chicken pox it's lying dormant in your system, you can
definitely bring it on.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
So if you had chicken pox, you're you're you're susceptible
to shingles.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah. What if you didn't have chicken pox, then you
ain't got to worry about it.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
It's a virus, so you still could come into contact
with Yeah, I don't want shingles.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
No, didn't you get the vaccines? No? Your doctor did
offer you the vaccine.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
May have I know, I haven't had it.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
He did his own research.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
I believe there were two and I don't know if
it was like six months apart or a year apart.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
But he said, can you start getting the vaccine when
you're nineteen?
Speaker 5 (09:13):
No, I think they don't recommend itun till you turn fifty.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
No, I think you can get it At nineteen Elliott's
doctor's talking to him about HPV.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I think you can get it at nineteen Hi Elliott
in the morning, Hey is this me?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Yeah? Hi?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Who's this?
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (09:32):
This is Diana. So a couple of things. Yeah, it's
caused by the chicken pox, and I think Diane's right
that it usually around fifty is when they encourage you
to start taking that vaccine. But that vaccine sucks.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
It sucks.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
Like so I got the first one and I was
pretty much down for a good twenty four hours, just
feeling like total crap. And then they say that the
second one, would you do get six months later? Makes
you feel even worse. I'm not sure I'm going back
to get that second one. Yeah, but dude, dude, I
mean it sucks.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, but don't think that shingles is even worse shingles.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
I mean you kind of gamble, you know, you're kind
of like, Okay, well I'm just gonna maybe hope for
the best. Maybe that one will, you know, cover me.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Well I don't think it will. But the that guy
had it for four and a half years. You're you're
bitching about two days. I'm not being a dick, but
for two days of discomfort.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
That guy had it for four and a half years.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
He's peeling his shirt off his back because he got
open welts.
Speaker 10 (10:35):
I know.
Speaker 6 (10:36):
I mean it's hard though. It's hard to go in
there and you're walking up into zbs and you're like yeah,
shoot me up again so I can go feel like
ass for the next you.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Know, three day.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
I feel you. I had a hamburger the other night.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I knew it was gonna make me nauseously, but the
but I was like, I'm gonna do it even though
it's going to make me feel like sick.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
So you do the same thing with the shingle shot.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Well yeah, I mean you just kind of take your gamble,
you know, you.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Know, people lose their vision.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
Have you gotten your jat?
Speaker 10 (11:10):
No?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Not?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Fifty?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Okay, all right, very good, very good, Thank you, ma'am,
thank you.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
I do remember hearing though about people having like adverse
reactions to the shot.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Yeah, so do I have.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
To get it? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Even though I had singles.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Yes, like like now or once you turn fifty?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Well yeah, once I turned fifty.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Yeah, that's what I'm going to get it.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
I didn't know if like, oh no, is it not
like it it's but it's different than the flu.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah, but still, but when you know you have the virus,
is it your stress mass?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
That's why I got in the first place, I'm sure.
Is it unlikely that you will have another outbreak? Possible?
Of course everything's possible, but the chances of me getting
that banned across my nerve pathways on my torso is
that gonna happen again?
Speaker 5 (12:13):
How are you managing your stress?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Is that just it?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I'm gonna No, I don't think you're one and done.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
And I did read this is important. Someone with shingles
cannot give another person shingles in any way, but someone
with shingles can give a person chicken pox.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
I thought they were the same thing, but.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
That's how it would present itself as chicken pox.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yes, so if I had shingles, how do you give
it to someone sex?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
I think the nastiness of what it was not your body.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
So I'm having sex with somebody and I have I
have like just hot welts all over my body hot well,
and so in laying in an in to emit fashion,
I would pass along my shingles puss and they would
get chicken pox, but not shingles, right, But then I
don't want chicken pox.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
You.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Then later in life they could probably get chicken or
singles because they now have what would be a dormant
virus from chicken pox.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
But just from skin to skin.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Oh, don't lick my don't lick my hot welts hi
Ellie in the morning.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Yeah, Hi, who's that?
Speaker 10 (13:30):
Hey? I'm not gonna say. Can I change my voice?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah? Just push on your Adam's apple, all right.
Speaker 10 (13:37):
So I came down with shingles due to incredible stress.
A little over a year ago. I found my wife
was having an affair and it just caused incredible trauma,
incredible stress, and I ended up getting shingles. I had
no idea what it was. I thought it was an
allergic reaction to something, but ended up getting shingles. Fortunately
(13:57):
I caught it pretty early on, so I was able
to get it treated. But yeah, man, stress, stress can
absolutely positively bring that on.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Hey, So let me ask you this the the how
did it? How did it?
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Like?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Was it just your Torso?
Speaker 10 (14:13):
So I had rash on my arm and then it
started to show up on my back and my chest
a little bit, and so, you know, ended up going
to the doctor, and like I said, I caught it
pretty early on, so I was able to get it treated.
They gave me, you know, they gave me a cream
to rub on it. It gave me medicine's take. So
but the pain was pretty bad. I mean it felt
(14:34):
it felt like stinging, it felt like crazy sunburned. And again, no,
no idea, that's what it was. But as soon as
I started describing that to the doctor and he saw
the you know, he looked at the rash immediately, that's
what he said it was.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
And remember all those things that you got. Doesn't really
get rid of shingles. It just helps you manage shingles.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah, people don't. People don't take it seriously until they
have it.
Speaker 10 (15:01):
No, absolutely not. I mean, and you wanted. The doctor said,
I was actually very fortunate to have caught it early,
because he said, they're kind of like you touched on earlier.
There can be you know, long term you know, paying blind,
you can go blind.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
So hey, yeah, do you know do you know did
your doctor tell you, like Tyler head shingles? Did he
did your doctor tell you, once you have it, can
you get it again?
Speaker 10 (15:29):
I don't remember him saying that, but that from from
doing my research, I believe that is that is the case.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
So hey, can I can I ask you this. I'm
not trying to pick it a wound, but what ended
up happening with your old lady.
Speaker 10 (15:41):
Uh, we're still working on it now, but are you really? Yeah,
it's brutal.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
I can't even imagine. So you think you'll reconcile.
Speaker 10 (15:49):
That that's that's that's the goal. I mean, I've done
my my own. You know. We're trying, man, but it
is it's hard.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
I got your No, I got to imagine. I have
to imagine. And she gave you shingles.
Speaker 10 (16:07):
She gave me a lot of things, but not Yeah,
so right, all right.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Very good, very good. Hey, best of luck, however it
turns out.
Speaker 10 (16:13):
Best of luck, man, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Take care of you, got it.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
We've been told that you were unlikely to get it twice.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
So one and done.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
But the outbreak if it comes around again.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Oh forget it.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Less severe?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Oh no, I thought you were gonna say, like, you're
less likely to get it.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
But if you do, bar the door. It's like, by
the way, I was reading about this other person, Gardner.
I don't know if that's a man or a woman.
Person had the had got got shingles on their face,
so like Halliburton has it on stuff, but on the
face for a year.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Can you imagine you got hot welts On your face.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
For a year, dustin riots brutal.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Can I ask is he texting or is he using
an iHeart account?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
He is texting? Oh why do you ask?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
No?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Because some people are losing access to their eehearts accounts today.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Anyway, go ahead, brutal. They were worried about it hitting
my eye?
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Well they said that for like Haliburton's wearing glasses so
that he doesn't put it.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Were they afraid that it goes to your eye? Or
do you scratch your hot welts and touch your eye.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Your rash blisters? He also just writes using the same
word also hippa.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Oh what about this?
Speaker 3 (17:43):
So obviously everyone before the eighties everyone had chicken pox.
It's like nine percent of people had chicken.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
I still don't know if I ever had chicken I
never did.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
They literally do say like or the string even if
you don't remember, more than ninety nine percent of people
had chicken not it.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Oh, I don't want it. I don't want that in me.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
But this is if you're born before the eighth like
a while ago. But now they have the vaccine for
the chicken pox. If you get that as a younger person,
will you need the shingles vaccine at the age of fifty.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yes, yes, because I can say I can still give
it to you.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Remember, I can't give you shingles, but in an intimate moment,
I can give you. I can give you my my.
You get chicken pox from it, right because of he
hot weltz right, and they're they're uzzy. Oh Elliott, excuse you?
Oh no, no, those are just my welts. Jesus, where
(18:47):
am I going? Line six? Hi? Elliott in the morning?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Hi?
Speaker 7 (18:52):
Is this me?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Who's this?
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Hi?
Speaker 7 (18:54):
This is Jennifer.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
You got the shingles.
Speaker 7 (18:57):
I've had the shingles twice, oh dude. And the minute
I became old enough for the vaccine, I was like,
put it in me. I don't care. Twice sucks. The
first time I got it on my hand and I
went in and they were like, you know, people don't
no long get shingles there, and so I had it
(19:18):
on my hand. It ran all the way up my arm.
It was the worst week of my life. I had
a newborn baby at the time. It was awful. It
was just all the things. And then how long did
it last?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
How long did it last?
Speaker 7 (19:32):
It lasted about two weeks.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Oh that's short, they said, They said, average time is
six weeks.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
Well two weeks of like, I want to just curl
up in bed and never ever, you know, just put
me to sleep. And then there was lingering pain, like
I still actually have like joint pain in the arm
that had it. But then fast forward about three or
four more years and I got it again. And yes
(20:04):
it was not as bad a second time, but I
got it in a very sensitive area. You get you
get it?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Did you get it on your you get on your
on your cooner?
Speaker 7 (20:16):
I got it in the other hole.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Wait, you got shingles.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
I didn't go that way, but it went up my backside. Yeah,
oh my god, you got shingles on your But the
thing is, I know people are listening to this. You
know who I am.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Well yeah, no, like, hey, I only know one person
that had that but had butthole shingles.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
So wait a minute. So it went up, It went
up your cheek and into your crack.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
Another way, it started in the crack and went up
a cheek. Oh wow, I was sitting on a donut
it for ever, for like three weeks because of it.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Can I ask you? And I'm not trying to be gross.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I'm trying to ask an honest question, like the the
if when you had a bowel movement, did it feel
did it feel like you were just pouring acid into
an open wound?
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (21:20):
Yeah, basically yeah, yeah it was. It was the shingles
nerve pain didn't hurt as much, but everything else did
because that is just a sensitive area.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Sure, but then you're then you're wiping and rubbing it.
Oh that's horrible. Hey, can I ask you this? Did
the doctor honest question? Honest question? Did the doctor say,
I ain't never seen this.
Speaker 7 (21:46):
Before, said that, Well, I actually heard that a lot
from doctors, but it said that about the first one.
The second one they actually said is kind of common all.
I just don't think people own up to it is common.
Oh I got it on my hip or whatever. I
(22:07):
don't know. I guess they don't own up to it.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Listen, you're there your hip.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
If you think your hip is close to your butthole,
you got you are a busy person.
Speaker 7 (22:22):
I know. I know because they say like they get
you know, you get it like on your side or
you're no no, uh huh did they tell.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
You like the same thing you got to be like
like I wouldn't think though, like for example, like they said,
like you got to be careful because like on your
torso it could spread, or your hands against in your
eye right, or it gets to your eye. At least
at that point you'd be like, I don't have to
worry about this.
Speaker 8 (22:48):
True.
Speaker 7 (22:49):
No, it didn't hurt on like that one, Like once
it cleared up. I think I was so grateful that
I was just like, you know, hey, everything feels great now.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Just saddle for a month, yes, oh my god.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
But the one in the one on my arm though,
literally the joints that were affected still to this day hurt.
And this was the kid that was a newborn man
is sixteen now and on the way to school. I'm
probably listening to this and embarrassed.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
All right, very.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Good, very good, thank you, And that's common common.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Again, I don't feel like my doctor at the time
really walked me through what this journey would be.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
As bad as you hear shingles are.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
If I were a doctor, I would say, I would
take this headline and go, you should be more freaked
out by shingles, and right underneath it, I would go,
it's common to get it on your butthole, say, because
as bad as every thing sounds, you're like, oh, my
hands hurt, my torso hurts.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
I don't want that on my butthole.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
And you mentioned like irritation, additional irritation from maybe wiping or.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
You're putting feces right up against the hot welth right.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
So but that's so there's infection risk, yeah, massive infection.
Like how how clean do you have to be in
the bathroom do you have?
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Like do you have to get something like a bidet?
You can't wipe?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Now I would, I'd cork it. I'm just not going
could be a bag or something. I don't know. I
don't know what you do. I have no idea what
you do.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
It's like right away in the shower.
Speaker 11 (24:52):
My buddy, the vanilla gorilla did that because of herpes. No,
because sorry, because of no. Because he was so big
that he couldn't.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Be reached so he could reach around his cheek, so
he would just have to crap and then get into
the shower.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
The reason I said herpes is because lovely and I
assume all these people are doctors. They think because I've
mentioned like chronic discomfort and pain before they think it's
post herpetic neuralgia that came from my shingles?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Is why your shoulder hurts?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
No, no, I just because I figured abdominal discomfort.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Anything.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
When they scamy or whatever, they well, they think it's
from shingles, right, which, of course, if you what's the
real virus name?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Oh, I don't know it's it's I know that Norwegians
call it hell vet, hell vet, silled hell vet, which
means belt of.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Fire, Vericella zoster, which in shingles is also known as
her Di's zoster. So anyway, yes, you could if you
want to just start throwing her on the H word.
But that's some poster pedic neuralgia. I remember my mom
deals with trigeminal neualga on her face. So if there's
a genetic component to this, like we maavee on to something,
you know, we.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
So she you think she passed it down.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
I don't know if there's something when it comes to you,
But well, where's this serious, elliot?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
I'm being serious.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
It was probably twenty years ago when I had it.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
But tell Halliburn, I'll take fat and no eyebrow versus versus.
What did they call it a belt of fire on
my tushy.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
But there was another person who said, oh, yeah, you're
you're at an increased stroke risk. Now that's for sure.
Oh God, which I told you. I thought I had
read and they're saying that is true.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
I have it and it comes on by stress and
everybody's got stress. If that's the chill out, bro, you
gotta chill out, chill it out, bring it down a notch.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
If stress and sex with someone who's infected, we'll give
you the chicken chicken pox. Like what else is bringing
on shingles? You didn't read that.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
No, no, if you are, If you are immuno compromised,
it says the virus can lie dormant in a person's
nervous system for years until it reactivates, often but not always,
when immunity starts to wane due to aging, immunosuppressant drugs,
(27:49):
or acute stress.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Oh you've got a cute angina and your titties ain't
bad neither, great old joke.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Yeah right, yeah, you nailed it. Aging weekend immune system
like AIDS. Jesus Christ, how about like a fever awesome
medications hit, by the way, give.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Me give me shingles on my butthole over aids.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
And stress and trauma. You did some good reading.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Thank you. Because people don't take it seriously. You should
be more freaked out by shingles.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
I'm wanting to be on top of your game this morning.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
I'll tell you what the way they're coming for people
as sauce, the the no, but you know what this
will what this will get me.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I know one person that doesn't have shingles on her tushy,
Macy Moore's.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
I just saw her tushy. The no, no, no, but the
but that'll get you in to get a shot. I'd
rather feel sick for a day than deal with that.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Quite a few people are urging those that are fifty
year older to get the shot.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Yep, I do.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
I did read this that they there is something and
I don't know what it is, but they do think
maybe it is if you're immunocompromised. But they will start
giving you I don't know if it's the same vaccine,
but they will start giving you a vaccine as young
as nineteen.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
And that is but you may have to. You may
be an.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Extraordinary or a non ordinary case. But at and maybe
it is just immunocompromised, just some level. But they will
do it at nineteen.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
But I don't know. You better consult with your doctor.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
That's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Nothing.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I went no, no, no, but I don't I know.
I read that. I just don't know what it would be.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
My eye it is right now, don't don't don't well,
I can scratch it.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
But what if you're going to what do you have
something on your hand?
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Like? What do I have shingles?
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Now?
Speaker 2 (29:55):
No, no, no, there's not because that's my right hand
and this is on the left.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
This is my wife pays sorry.
Speaker 5 (30:01):
I should have should have committed that to memory.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
I will get ready to hit buttons on a sheer board.
Do you know who Tyree's caliburtness?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
No, okay, no big deal plays for the Indiana Pacers.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Did not play this year. He was injured with a
turn right achilles tendon, so he didn't play this year
as he was recovering from that.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
But I guess I don't know if this has been
out for a long time, but I guess he was
talking about it like once the season ended, he said
on Monday, one day after the Pacers completed a nineteen
win season without their two time All star ever suiting up.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Oh, so, I guess he just revealed this.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yesterday, Haliburton told reporters that while he's ready to return
from the achilles injury, it's the illness that he will
contend with during this offseason.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Pardon me.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
His illness has caused him to gain weight, lose part
of his right eyebrow, and forced him to wear eyeglasses
to avoid scratching his swollen eye. Tyrese Aliburton has shingles
and it sounds horrible.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
So did he come out because of what the internet
was saying about the waking?
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Probably so they thought he was just like lazy, but
he was recovering.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
They were calling him a halla Berger.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Oh hey, good name for a restaurant. Though, yes, maybe
I don't know if that's why they came out or
he came out, but he was talking about having shingles.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
What's the eyebrow thing?
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Yeah, so don't they say with like your eyes can
get damaged?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Don't they say with shingles? Well, first of all, the
headline that they'll tell you about shingles is you should
be more freaked out by shingles, and people aren't.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
People aren't. People who have had shingles will tell you
it's horrible.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Yeah, I remember I had it, But did you have
it bad?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Dude, the rash across my.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Did it hurt body? Did it hurt?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Awful?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
They said it the one thing I was reading.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I've never had shingles, but they said that it feels
like you're getting stuck with like stabbing needs, like fire needles.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Yeah, it's right on the nerves. But what I've learned,
and maybe the stuff you read about Tyree's yesterday or
that other headline, I've learned and so many years ago,
but in the last few years, like I'm more susceptible
now to other stuff. And I didn't know that, like
my doctor at the time did not explain what could
(02:42):
be ahead for me because of the shingles.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Wait, so once you have shingles, you're more susceptible to
other things.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I honestly, I want to say one of the things
is a stroke.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
No way, no way, I'll look that up. Because you
had shingles, you could have a stroke.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Listen, I'd rather gain weight too, but I want to
say that that popped up At some point.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Haliburton went on to say, Hey, Kristen, will you do
me a favor?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Will you find me somebody who's has either has it
or just has gotten over shingles? By the way, you
know the other thing. You know, the other thing that
shocked me yesterday? What percentage of people will get shingles?
Speaker 5 (03:21):
It's high, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
What percent Why once you get turn fifty they tell
you to get the vaccines.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
What percentage of people will get shingles?
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Is it like forty?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
You're very close? One in three, one in three. I
would have said, eah, one in one hundred. I wouldn't
think it.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
That's like, what did Dustin have it on his head?
Speaker 6 (03:46):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Maybe he did? Did Duston have shingles on?
Speaker 7 (03:49):
He said?
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Last summer.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
It does sound right the But was he miserable?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I mean, he's always miserable. But did he he wore
a hat?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I don't know if that's true.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
He did wear a hat, I remember that. But did
he have like some cream or something in his head?
Or was it just because of the itching?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Anyway?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Can I let me get back to Tyree's South? Oh,
will you find me somebody who's dealt with shingles? Eight
six six to Elliott eight six six two three five
five four six eight. It caused him to gain weight,
It caused part of his right hol eyebrow.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I got that. He said. It's been miserable.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I have good days and bad days, but for the
most part, it's been nothing but bad days. I've been
taking unbelievable amounts of medication to try to get rid
of it.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
It hasn't worked.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
It's not been fun, and hopefully it goes away soon.
It's been really it's hard to really tell with nerve pain.
But I've been dealing now with nerve pain for two months,
and in the world of nerve pain, that's not very long.
One in three Americans will get shingles, according to the CDC,
while most recover. It sometimes causes severe complications. It can
(04:57):
infect the eye and cause vision loss, and up to
twenty percent of shingles patients suffer excruciating nerve pain for
months or years.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Years.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Yeah, I guess it was at least for the short term.
I was one of the lucky ones.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
And there's no it just does. It just goes away
on its own.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I don't think I did anything for it.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
They like you could put on You could put on
like like creams or like the numb it you can
you could take medication, but you can't it.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I don't think there is a cure for it. I
don't think there is like a like a medicine that
you take for it.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Line two, Hi Elliott in the morning.
Speaker 8 (05:39):
Elliot, Yes, sir, Hey it's Sam Watkins. I've talked to
you many many times.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (05:45):
He used to be a police officer and I had
shingles for four and a half years, one and.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
All four and a half years.
Speaker 9 (05:52):
Yes, sir, how did you do you know?
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Do you know how you got it?
Speaker 9 (06:00):
Dress?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yes? Thank you?
Speaker 9 (06:03):
It was, I mean, and it came on apparently.
Speaker 8 (06:09):
I was one of the lucky ones where normally you
just get it like on one specific area of your body. Well,
I would get it in two, except it would be
like on my lower right side and on my upper
left side, or I had it in my eyebrow.
Speaker 9 (06:24):
Most of the time it was on my back.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Oh, I can't reach it.
Speaker 9 (06:28):
And being a being a police officer, that sucked because
I was always wearing a vest right, so I'd go
home and basically take my vest off and then peel
my t shirt off.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
They said that with all the welts and stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Oh, I'm sure they said for the most part, it
affects the torso area, but they did.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
So Tyler had it right.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
They did say it can get in your face, it
can get get in your eyes, like, it can get anywhere,
but mostly it's your torso.
Speaker 9 (07:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (07:01):
I had it in my eyebrow and thought it was
poison ivy and try to treat it that way, and
then it started burning like somebody had dumped gas in
my eye and my.
Speaker 9 (07:08):
Doctor was like, oh, yeah, you could have lost your
eyes sight. I'm like, that's that's awesome, dude.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Thanks unreal And they said that until like and listen,
people don't people don't I don't.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Know, take it seriously enough or respect it or think
that well they're gonna be.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
That's what it's start of.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
You should be more freaked out by shingles because the
odds are eight.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Wait, so you're four and a half years in. Are
you over it? Are you still dealing with it?
Speaker 9 (07:38):
I know I left the police department in twenty nineteen
on a Friday and by that Monday and went away
and never came back.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And they do say, hey, thank you sir.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
They do say, like, if you're immunocompromise, you have a
higher chance of it rearing its head.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
It could live dormant in your body for years, and
I don't remember if it's like I know they say
it's very chicken pox ish, but I don't know if
it's like if you had the chicken pox.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
You get it if you didn't have I don't know
what that one is.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
However, they said it can live dormant in your body
for years, but it could be brought on if you're
immunocompromised and something triggers your system. They said, stress kicks
that bitch into high gear.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Isn't the same virus that causes chicken pox.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I think I don't know exactly what it is.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
It's a reactivation of that virus. So if you've had
chicken pox it's lying dormant in your system, you can
definitely bring it on.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
So if you had chicken pox, you're you're you're susceptible
to shingles.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah. What if you didn't have chicken pox, then you
ain't got to worry about it.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
It's a virus, so you still could come into contact
with Yeah, I don't want shingles.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
No, didn't you get the vaccines? No? Your doctor did
offer you the vaccine.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
May have I know, I haven't had it.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
He did his own research.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
I believe there were two and I don't know if
it was like six months apart or a year apart.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
But he said, can you start getting the vaccine when
you're nineteen?
Speaker 5 (09:13):
No, I think they don't recommend itun till you turn fifty.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
No, I think you can get it At nineteen Elliott's
doctor's talking to him about HPV.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I think you can get it at nineteen Hi Elliott
in the morning, Hey is this me?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Yeah? Hi?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Who's this?
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (09:32):
This is Diana. So a couple of things. Yeah, it's
caused by the chicken pox, and I think Diane's right
that it usually around fifty is when they encourage you
to start taking that vaccine. But that vaccine sucks.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
It sucks.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
Like so I got the first one and I was
pretty much down for a good twenty four hours, just
feeling like total crap. And then they say that the
second one, would you do get six months later? Makes
you feel even worse. I'm not sure I'm going back
to get that second one. Yeah, but dude, dude, I
mean it sucks.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, but don't think that shingles is even worse shingles.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
I mean you kind of gamble, you know, you're kind
of like, Okay, well I'm just gonna maybe hope for
the best. Maybe that one will, you know, cover me.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Well I don't think it will. But the that guy
had it for four and a half years. You're you're
bitching about two days. I'm not being a dick, but
for two days of discomfort.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
That guy had it for four and a half years.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
He's peeling his shirt off his back because he got
open welts.
Speaker 10 (10:35):
I know.
Speaker 6 (10:36):
I mean it's hard though. It's hard to go in
there and you're walking up into zbs and you're like yeah,
shoot me up again so I can go feel like
ass for the next you.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Know, three day.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
I feel you. I had a hamburger the other night.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I knew it was gonna make me nauseously, but the
but I was like, I'm gonna do it even though
it's going to make me feel like sick.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
So you do the same thing with the shingle shot.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Well yeah, I mean you just kind of take your gamble,
you know, you.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Know, people lose their vision.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
Have you gotten your jat?
Speaker 10 (11:10):
No?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Not?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Fifty?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Okay, all right, very good, very good, Thank you, ma'am,
thank you.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
I do remember hearing though about people having like adverse
reactions to the shot.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Yeah, so do I have.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
To get it? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Even though I had singles.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Yes, like like now or once you turn fifty?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Well yeah, once I turned fifty.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Yeah, that's what I'm going to get it.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
I didn't know if like, oh no, is it not
like it it's but it's different than the flu.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah, but still, but when you know you have the virus,
is it your stress mass?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
That's why I got in the first place, I'm sure.
Is it unlikely that you will have another outbreak? Possible?
Of course everything's possible, but the chances of me getting
that banned across my nerve pathways on my torso is
that gonna happen again?
Speaker 5 (12:13):
How are you managing your stress?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Is that just it?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I'm gonna No, I don't think you're one and done.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
And I did read this is important. Someone with shingles
cannot give another person shingles in any way, but someone
with shingles can give a person chicken pox.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
I thought they were the same thing, but.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
That's how it would present itself as chicken pox.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yes, so if I had shingles, how do you give
it to someone sex?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
I think the nastiness of what it was not your body.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
So I'm having sex with somebody and I have I
have like just hot welts all over my body hot well,
and so in laying in an in to emit fashion,
I would pass along my shingles puss and they would
get chicken pox, but not shingles, right, But then I
don't want chicken pox.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
You.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Then later in life they could probably get chicken or
singles because they now have what would be a dormant
virus from chicken pox.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
But just from skin to skin.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Oh, don't lick my don't lick my hot welts hi
Ellie in the morning.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Yeah, Hi, who's that?
Speaker 10 (13:30):
Hey? I'm not gonna say. Can I change my voice?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah? Just push on your Adam's apple, all right.
Speaker 10 (13:37):
So I came down with shingles due to incredible stress.
A little over a year ago. I found my wife
was having an affair and it just caused incredible trauma,
incredible stress, and I ended up getting shingles. I had
no idea what it was. I thought it was an
allergic reaction to something, but ended up getting shingles. Fortunately
(13:57):
I caught it pretty early on, so I was able
to get it treated. But yeah, man, stress, stress can
absolutely positively bring that on.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Hey, So let me ask you this the the how
did it? How did it?
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Like?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Was it just your Torso?
Speaker 10 (14:13):
So I had rash on my arm and then it
started to show up on my back and my chest
a little bit, and so, you know, ended up going
to the doctor, and like I said, I caught it
pretty early on, so I was able to get it treated.
They gave me, you know, they gave me a cream
to rub on it. It gave me medicine's take. So
but the pain was pretty bad. I mean it felt
(14:34):
it felt like stinging, it felt like crazy sunburned. And again, no,
no idea, that's what it was. But as soon as
I started describing that to the doctor and he saw
the you know, he looked at the rash immediately, that's
what he said it was.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
And remember all those things that you got. Doesn't really
get rid of shingles. It just helps you manage shingles.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah, people don't. People don't take it seriously until they
have it.
Speaker 10 (15:01):
No, absolutely not. I mean, and you wanted. The doctor said,
I was actually very fortunate to have caught it early,
because he said, they're kind of like you touched on earlier.
There can be you know, long term you know, paying blind,
you can go blind.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
So hey, yeah, do you know do you know did
your doctor tell you, like Tyler head shingles? Did he
did your doctor tell you, once you have it, can
you get it again?
Speaker 10 (15:29):
I don't remember him saying that, but that from from
doing my research, I believe that is that is the case.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
So hey, can I can I ask you this. I'm
not trying to pick it a wound, but what ended
up happening with your old lady.
Speaker 10 (15:41):
Uh, we're still working on it now, but are you really? Yeah,
it's brutal.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
I can't even imagine. So you think you'll reconcile.
Speaker 10 (15:49):
That that's that's that's the goal. I mean, I've done
my my own. You know. We're trying, man, but it
is it's hard.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
I got your No, I got to imagine. I have
to imagine. And she gave you shingles.
Speaker 10 (16:07):
She gave me a lot of things, but not Yeah,
so right, all right.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Very good, very good. Hey, best of luck, however it
turns out.
Speaker 10 (16:13):
Best of luck, man, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Take care of you, got it.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
We've been told that you were unlikely to get it twice.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
So one and done.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
But the outbreak if it comes around again.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Oh forget it.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Less severe?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Oh no, I thought you were gonna say, like, you're
less likely to get it.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
But if you do, bar the door. It's like, by
the way, I was reading about this other person, Gardner.
I don't know if that's a man or a woman.
Person had the had got got shingles on their face,
so like Halliburton has it on stuff, but on the
face for a year.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Can you imagine you got hot welts On your face.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
For a year, dustin riots brutal.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Can I ask is he texting or is he using
an iHeart account?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
He is texting? Oh why do you ask?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
No?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Because some people are losing access to their eehearts accounts today.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Anyway, go ahead, brutal. They were worried about it hitting
my eye?
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Well they said that for like Haliburton's wearing glasses so
that he doesn't put it.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Were they afraid that it goes to your eye? Or
do you scratch your hot welts and touch your eye.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Your rash blisters? He also just writes using the same
word also hippa.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Oh what about this?
Speaker 3 (17:43):
So obviously everyone before the eighties everyone had chicken pox.
It's like nine percent of people had chicken.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
I still don't know if I ever had chicken I
never did.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
They literally do say like or the string even if
you don't remember, more than ninety nine percent of people
had chicken not it.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Oh, I don't want it. I don't want that in me.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
But this is if you're born before the eighth like
a while ago. But now they have the vaccine for
the chicken pox. If you get that as a younger person,
will you need the shingles vaccine at the age of fifty.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yes, yes, because I can say I can still give
it to you.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Remember, I can't give you shingles, but in an intimate moment,
I can give you. I can give you my my.
You get chicken pox from it, right because of he
hot weltz right, and they're they're uzzy. Oh Elliott, excuse you?
Oh no, no, those are just my welts. Jesus, where
(18:47):
am I going? Line six? Hi? Elliott in the morning?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Hi?
Speaker 7 (18:52):
Is this me?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Who's this?
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Hi?
Speaker 7 (18:54):
This is Jennifer.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
You got the shingles.
Speaker 7 (18:57):
I've had the shingles twice, oh dude. And the minute
I became old enough for the vaccine, I was like,
put it in me. I don't care. Twice sucks. The
first time I got it on my hand and I
went in and they were like, you know, people don't
no long get shingles there, and so I had it
(19:18):
on my hand. It ran all the way up my arm.
It was the worst week of my life. I had
a newborn baby at the time. It was awful. It
was just all the things. And then how long did
it last?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
How long did it last?
Speaker 7 (19:32):
It lasted about two weeks.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Oh that's short, they said, They said, average time is
six weeks.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
Well two weeks of like, I want to just curl
up in bed and never ever, you know, just put
me to sleep. And then there was lingering pain, like
I still actually have like joint pain in the arm
that had it. But then fast forward about three or
four more years and I got it again. And yes
(20:04):
it was not as bad a second time, but I
got it in a very sensitive area. You get you
get it?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Did you get it on your you get on your
on your cooner?
Speaker 7 (20:16):
I got it in the other hole.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Wait, you got shingles.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
I didn't go that way, but it went up my backside. Yeah,
oh my god, you got shingles on your But the
thing is, I know people are listening to this. You
know who I am.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Well yeah, no, like, hey, I only know one person
that had that but had butthole shingles.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
So wait a minute. So it went up, It went
up your cheek and into your crack.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
Another way, it started in the crack and went up
a cheek. Oh wow, I was sitting on a donut
it for ever, for like three weeks because of it.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Can I ask you? And I'm not trying to be gross.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I'm trying to ask an honest question, like the the
if when you had a bowel movement, did it feel
did it feel like you were just pouring acid into
an open wound?
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (21:20):
Yeah, basically yeah, yeah it was. It was the shingles
nerve pain didn't hurt as much, but everything else did
because that is just a sensitive area.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Sure, but then you're then you're wiping and rubbing it.
Oh that's horrible. Hey, can I ask you this? Did
the doctor honest question? Honest question? Did the doctor say,
I ain't never seen this.
Speaker 7 (21:46):
Before, said that, Well, I actually heard that a lot
from doctors, but it said that about the first one.
The second one they actually said is kind of common all.
I just don't think people own up to it is common.
Oh I got it on my hip or whatever. I
(22:07):
don't know. I guess they don't own up to it.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Listen, you're there your hip.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
If you think your hip is close to your butthole,
you got you are a busy person.
Speaker 7 (22:22):
I know. I know because they say like they get
you know, you get it like on your side or
you're no no, uh huh did they tell.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
You like the same thing you got to be like
like I wouldn't think though, like for example, like they said,
like you got to be careful because like on your
torso it could spread, or your hands against in your
eye right, or it gets to your eye. At least
at that point you'd be like, I don't have to
worry about this.
Speaker 8 (22:48):
True.
Speaker 7 (22:49):
No, it didn't hurt on like that one, Like once
it cleared up. I think I was so grateful that
I was just like, you know, hey, everything feels great now.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Just saddle for a month, yes, oh my god.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
But the one in the one on my arm though,
literally the joints that were affected still to this day hurt.
And this was the kid that was a newborn man
is sixteen now and on the way to school. I'm
probably listening to this and embarrassed.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
All right, very.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Good, very good, thank you, And that's common common.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Again, I don't feel like my doctor at the time
really walked me through what this journey would be.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
As bad as you hear shingles are.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
If I were a doctor, I would say, I would
take this headline and go, you should be more freaked
out by shingles, and right underneath it, I would go,
it's common to get it on your butthole, say, because
as bad as every thing sounds, you're like, oh, my
hands hurt, my torso hurts.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
I don't want that on my butthole.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
And you mentioned like irritation, additional irritation from maybe wiping or.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
You're putting feces right up against the hot welth right.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
So but that's so there's infection risk, yeah, massive infection.
Like how how clean do you have to be in
the bathroom do you have?
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Like do you have to get something like a bidet?
You can't wipe?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Now I would, I'd cork it. I'm just not going
could be a bag or something. I don't know. I
don't know what you do. I have no idea what
you do.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
It's like right away in the shower.
Speaker 11 (24:52):
My buddy, the vanilla gorilla did that because of herpes. No,
because sorry, because of no. Because he was so big
that he couldn't.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Be reached so he could reach around his cheek, so
he would just have to crap and then get into
the shower.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
The reason I said herpes is because lovely and I
assume all these people are doctors. They think because I've
mentioned like chronic discomfort and pain before they think it's
post herpetic neuralgia that came from my shingles?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Is why your shoulder hurts?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
No, no, I just because I figured abdominal discomfort.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Anything.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
When they scamy or whatever, they well, they think it's
from shingles, right, which, of course, if you what's the
real virus name?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Oh, I don't know it's it's I know that Norwegians
call it hell vet, hell vet, silled hell vet, which
means belt of.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Fire, Vericella zoster, which in shingles is also known as
her Di's zoster. So anyway, yes, you could if you
want to just start throwing her on the H word.
But that's some poster pedic neuralgia. I remember my mom
deals with trigeminal neualga on her face. So if there's
a genetic component to this, like we maavee on to something,
you know, we.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
So she you think she passed it down.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
I don't know if there's something when it comes to you,
But well, where's this serious, elliot?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
I'm being serious.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
It was probably twenty years ago when I had it.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
But tell Halliburn, I'll take fat and no eyebrow versus versus.
What did they call it a belt of fire on
my tushy.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
But there was another person who said, oh, yeah, you're
you're at an increased stroke risk. Now that's for sure.
Oh God, which I told you. I thought I had
read and they're saying that is true.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
I have it and it comes on by stress and
everybody's got stress. If that's the chill out, bro, you
gotta chill out, chill it out, bring it down a notch.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
If stress and sex with someone who's infected, we'll give
you the chicken chicken pox. Like what else is bringing
on shingles? You didn't read that.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
No, no, if you are, If you are immuno compromised,
it says the virus can lie dormant in a person's
nervous system for years until it reactivates, often but not always,
when immunity starts to wane due to aging, immunosuppressant drugs,
(27:49):
or acute stress.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Oh you've got a cute angina and your titties ain't
bad neither, great old joke.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Yeah right, yeah, you nailed it. Aging weekend immune system
like AIDS. Jesus Christ, how about like a fever awesome
medications hit, by the way, give.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Me give me shingles on my butthole over aids.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
And stress and trauma. You did some good reading.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Thank you. Because people don't take it seriously. You should
be more freaked out by shingles.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
I'm wanting to be on top of your game this morning.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
I'll tell you what the way they're coming for people
as sauce, the the no, but you know what this
will what this will get me.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I know one person that doesn't have shingles on her tushy,
Macy Moore's.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
I just saw her tushy. The no, no, no, but the
but that'll get you in to get a shot. I'd
rather feel sick for a day than deal with that.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Quite a few people are urging those that are fifty
year older to get the shot.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Yep, I do.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
I did read this that they there is something and
I don't know what it is, but they do think
maybe it is if you're immunocompromised. But they will start
giving you I don't know if it's the same vaccine,
but they will start giving you a vaccine as young
as nineteen.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
And that is but you may have to. You may
be an.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Extraordinary or a non ordinary case. But at and maybe
it is just immunocompromised, just some level. But they will
do it at nineteen.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
But I don't know. You better consult with your doctor.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
That's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Nothing.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I went no, no, no, but I don't I know.
I read that. I just don't know what it would be.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
My eye it is right now, don't don't don't well,
I can scratch it.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
But what if you're going to what do you have
something on your hand?
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Like? What do I have shingles?
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Now?
Speaker 2 (29:55):
No, no, no, there's not because that's my right hand
and this is on the left.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
This is my wife pays sorry.
Speaker 5 (30:01):
I should have should have committed that to memory.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
I will get ready to hit buttons on a sheer board.
