k, funny you should mention shingles in the post above. Last Sunday stabbing pain in ear at 8:45 I had to take Valtrex (shingles medicine to stop the pain). Same attack last April caused me to lose my hearing in left ear. I have mixed feelings about the virii, My Higher Self sort of says they can activate DNA in a good way but I suspect the bad actors are trying to hijack the process and turn the virii against us...I'm not sure. In the end, it all turns out good cause you don't fuck with Mother Nature, lol!
