It's been widely known that's she's been demented for years now. She gets hospitalized for shingles over a month ago (!?!who gets hospitalized for shingles?!?) and is supposedly waiting for clearance from her doctors to be safe to travel?

Zoster sine herpete
A previous patient came in with a new problem of severe right neck pain that wrapped around to the shoulder, about in a C4 distribution. Nothing on her C spine MRI to explain it, and her skin was hypersensitive to touch. Denied history of rash in the area but did have shingles several years ago on her face. Topicals weren’t helping and she got side effects with oral antineuropathics. She hadn’t had her shingles vaccine, so I told her to go ahead and get it, and that maybe it would help...

Prior to seeing me he has tried Hydrocodone, Gabapentin, Lyrica, Amitriptyline, Lidocaine ointment / patches, Calamine lotion and...

21 YO cf patient looking to move
I currently live in the greater kansas city area and see the KU CF team regularly. I am looking at the possibility of moving to Phoenix Arizona. I have a roommate lined up if I do but other than that I would be alone with the nearest family over 2 hours away.

At the moment I am being tested for TB because of some symptoms I have been having including small portions of blood in my mucus from the lungs. Other problems i have include the rare...
