🔊 Bonus Content 🔊

This week on The Desperate For a Diagnosis Podcast, I sit down with Judy Wohlt. She shares her harrowing journey with shingles 🦠, misdiagnosis 😱, and the lasting impact of postherpetic neuralgia 🚑.

She bravely shares photos of her healing progress.

Photo 1: Shows her swollen eye and blisters at their peak – third day in the hospital.

Photo 2: Taken in the hospital and is a good overall shot of how Shingles is concentrated on one side of the face, leaves a distinct red pattern and line of demarcation – so half of her forehead is red and the other half is my normal skin color.

Photo 3: Taken about 13 days after contracting Shingles and shows her eye and blisters healing – but with plenty of swelling still present.
