No, no...the cellulitis was caused/provoked
by the Shingles.
My Shingles only itched really for a (relatively) short period of time; it was the nerve neuropathy that nearly did me in for nearly 9 weeks now.
The
prednisone was being taken, to reduce the rash swelling, from the
Shingles and had nothing to do with the cellulitis--
except, it caused my feet to swell (the steroids) so I foolishly thought that the foot swelling,
that was actually the first symptom of the cellulitis, was from the steroids, but NOOOOO, it wasn't, it was cellulitis. See? Just a conflation of
STUFF.
I am, finally, starting to feel like a mostly human being. I figure by not this, but next week, I might be able to drive and EVERYTHING. Woowzers.
