17. My mom had shingles

Mon Jul 19, 2021, 03:42 PM

Jul 2021

before the vaccine was available. Don't know what kind, but I don't think it involved a rash. Alt doctor wanted to give her vitamin b12 injections into the site. She never went for it. Don't know if it would have worked.

My suggestion for all that ails anyone. Eat more garlic.
