I had chickenpox as a child, and can still remember the Calamine Lotion being applied to my hot, raging skin. Then in my 30s, I had shingles twice, both times around the upper torso and neck. My first wife had to cut the sleeves off of old shirts as I couldn’t stand the feel of the material on my arms and shoulders.
Shared on Twitter for you and Sally, Carol.
Best wishes, Pete. x
