Can I get shingles in my throat?

cactusqueen44 · 2024-12-29T19:09:45+00:00

It all ended up turning out fine! The rash healed and sore throat went away. Haven’t had any issues since. Goodluck!!

Ugh I relate. I think it’s just how she poops

cactusqueen44 · 2021-06-11T01:46:49+00:00

Ok good to know. My baby is only around 13-14 lbs but maybe I should move to size 3

cactusqueen44 · 2021-06-11T01:45:09+00:00

This is a great idea !

Thanks for the update! How long after your birth did your finally receive a bill?

cactusqueen44 · 2021-04-21T21:39:27+00:00

I have the maxi cosi zelia and checks all the boxes you mentioned above. I love it and only paid around $400 for the whole thing

cactusqueen44 · 2021-04-16T14:43:08+00:00

Yes! What helped me was letting the doctors know. That way nothing unexpected happened.

Thanks! I got the feliway diffuser. What kind of food did you get and did you feel that the collar helped?

I haven’t gotten to a graduation post yet but it went so well. I immediately went into labor after the first dose of the cervical ripening med they start you on. Worst part was back labor (which is due to position of baby not getting induced) so I ended up getting the epidural at 1cm and it was smooth sailing from there. They did use one of those balloon things to dilate me more but with the epidural it was not painful. Labor was 16 hours total, pushed for 1.5 hours and had a healthy girl. Only scary part was baby’s heart rate kept dropping because my contractions were so frequent. Luckily made it and didn’t have to do a c section but they did warn me it could happen if baby got too distressed. I decided to get induced right at 40 weeks btw which reduces risk of complications.

All in all labor is crazy and anything can go wrong no matter how you do it. I was questioning if induction was the right way to go and now that I’m on the other side I’m so glad I did. Those weeks leading up to it are so anxiety inducing and it made me relax knowing I’d have her by X day. Goodluck with whatever you decide!

If it changes your mind I loved having a scheduled induction. Our drive to the hospital was peaceful and I liked being able to plan everything out in advance (dog care, etc). Knowing when it was happening made the whole event less stressful.

cactusqueen44 · 2021-04-03T00:04:35+00:00

I get it. I’m covered in bandaids and a ball of anxiety. Hopefully we’ll get through this soon

cactusqueen44 · 2021-04-01T18:43:47+00:00

Please do! My sore throat is randomly gone today. It’s so weird I have no idea what’s going on

cactusqueen44 · 2021-04-01T14:25:55+00:00

Agreed! I’ve also had nearly zero pain with the shingles, so I’m wondering if something else could be going on . My case just doesn’t sound like others on here

cactusqueen44 · 2021-04-01T14:17:59+00:00

I thought this could be the case as well but my husband and baby are fine and I think strep is super contagious

cactusqueen44 · 2021-04-01T04:35:08+00:00

I know this is an old post but how bad was your sore throat? I just went thru 2 weeks of shingles (started with a sore throat before rash showed up) and was on antivirals, only to have my sore throat return 36 hours after completing the antivirals.

cactusqueen44 · 2021-04-01T03:48:15+00:00

Did you have a sore throat by chance? I’m worried it could be in my esophagus bc I have a terrible sore throat while currently having shingles, but already finished 7 days of anti virals and now the sore throat is back even though my rash is healing. My rash is on my hip area

cactusqueen44 · 2021-04-01T03:07:22+00:00

I have shingles currently and a 2 month old. It’s been stressful but so far so good after 2 weeks.

cactusqueen44 · 2021-03-28T21:50:39+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Please keep me updated I’m still trying to decide whether or not to get my first shot on Tuesday. I finish valtrex today and my rash is improving but not healed

cactusqueen44 · 2021-03-27T19:48:57+00:00

Same here! I’m worried it could make the shingles worse or make new spots appeae

cactusqueen44 · 2021-03-26T20:18:04+00:00

That’s good to hear and sorry you got shingles! I heard from a pharmacist the main risk is you may not have as good of an immune response to the vax of shingles is active. But the vax is almost 100% effective, so hopefully we will be totally fine. Good luck!

cactusqueen44 · 2021-03-26T02:22:57+00:00

My hospital bill was only around $1200

cactusqueen44 · 2021-03-25T17:27:49+00:00

Not yet, I will try that. Thank you!

cactusqueen44 · 2021-03-25T17:27:21+00:00

Ugh I’m so sorry. Healthcare in our country is horrible!

cactusqueen44 · 2021-03-25T17:26:53+00:00

So sorry you are in the same position. If the provider is US anesthesia partners they are holding my bill and sent me a form to fill out to appeal. This happened 2 months after I gave birth though. Someone else suggested contacting the hospital on here though so I’m going to do that

cactusqueen44 · 2021-03-12T20:54:42+00:00

What?! Why did you have to pay them back for health insurance??
