I had shingles when I was 16. Let's talk about embarasing.

I had chicken pox when I was in 7th grade, so I feel your pain.

Link: Tearing. External. Urethra. Enough said.

Next time, bring your helmet to the game, son.

KillerGremlin · 01-20-2005, 11:01 PM

I'm not sure how it happened, but yeah...I think it happened when I took a direct blow during gym.

The pain is not the worst part. It was the conversation I had with my parents explaining WHY I needed to go to the doctor......

And I haven't even been to the doctor yet.

Hopefully, I can look back on this and laugh my ass off.

I thought you contracted it. My bad.

KillerGremlin · 01-20-2005, 11:11 PM

Oh no....that would suck.

Although, external tearage of the urethra is probably just as bad.

I'm going to cringe and cry if the word "stitches" comes up tomorrow.

What the hell are shingles?

Because all I know of them are as roofing tiles....

Pretty much herpes simplex around the trunk of your body. 98% of the time, people over 70 get it.

And when I say herpes, it really means the chicken pox. so that's twice for me.

Ginkasa · 01-20-2005, 11:47 PM

From what I understand, its like the adult chicken pox. If you avoid chicken pox as a child, you (likely) get shingles as an adult.

Ironically, its apparently more dangerous as shingles than it is chicken pox...

And uh... Sorry I asked, KG...

*shudder*

/me shrugs and walks away

KillerGremlin · 01-21-2005, 12:08 AM

Actually, shingles is probably no more dangerous then chicken pox for someone in their prime. The only reason why it is more dangerous as an elder is because their immune systems are weaker.

Don't be sorry you asked. Be sorry that I might have to get my wang operated on.

I understood everything except 'urethra'. What is it? Picture?

KillerGremlin · 01-21-2005, 02:07 AM

Lol......didn't you take health? Or maybe my "state of the art school" has a better health program?

Urethra = the "tube" were fluids pass

www.dictionary.com <-------- definition

www.google.com <------ pictures

And if you have taken health, please kick your health teacher in the nuts for me. Everyone should know these basic terms. I mean, you got your respiratory system, your digestive system and so forth. Too bad we live in a world shielded by moronic politicians and their moronic half-assed ways.

I did a poll and like half the kids I talked to had no idea what the Morning After Pill was. Isn't that scary?

Seth · 01-21-2005, 02:57 AM

I know the terms.

Exactly how did you tear it?

Shingles can be extremely painful. And, many times it only appears on one half of the body. Many cases can last for a year. People become bed ridden. phuh

Has anyone had their prostate checked yet? When's the average age for having the prostate first checked?

I can't say I'm looking forward to the experience.

Anyway, are you going to be put under when the operation happens are just numbness?

I haven't had a general health checkup in many many years....
