Ironically, it struck at around the same season in the year back then. So far I am nothing like as sick as I was that time, but the next day or so will prove critical. Shingles can be very mild, but it can also be very nasty. I am taking time off sick, and will see the GP for acyclovir, but most of all I crave your prayers. I really want to be able to attend our 300 conference<\/a> and it is a very inconvenient time to be off work. Please ask for God\u2019s mercy.
