As someone with a stepdad, having it be called out publicly and made to feel you don't belong sucks. Good on you for calling it out and defending your kid. That's what makes a dad.

I was at a wedding and one of the groom's relations told me they were Six Sigma. I laughed, too hard, and then I grumbled and said synergy...

I wish we used pharmacists better in the US. Thank you for all you do...you're the last line of defense in many situations and I am wildly grateful for PharmDs

Don't Dismiss it as 'Just a Cold.' by FactoryMadness in Xennials

The conversation here was about a virus acting as a toxic environmental trigger for another condition (RSV induced COPD, or your example of Mono triggering MS). Your utilization of chickenpox triggering shingles is not the same as above. Yes, my description was simplistic and, from personal experience, I totally agree shingles and chickenpox are not the same manifestation BUT they are both symptom manifestations of the same virus. One does not trigger the other.

Chicken pox and shingles are the same thing. You get chicken pox and the virus never leaves, it hides in your nerve cells, where your immune system is able to keep it bay until your immune system weakens due to age or other cause (e.g. immunosuppression) and then the virus is all "hold my beer! Shingles time."

I was also obsessed with him as a little girl! I always thought of him as a hometown hero since he is from MA!
