suddenly about a month ago. She was about 75. Her life changed when she developed a horrific case of the shingles in her anus and surrounding areas. She was never the same. It eventually cleared up but left her with anxiety issues and great pain. Hated to socialize, etc.

She was using cannabis oil, as well a variety of prescription pain killers, when she and my uncle returned to NJ from a winter in FLA. a couple of days after their return, she felt like she had a virus and took to bed for several days. Refused to have my uncle take her to hospital or call an ambulance. On the third night, he went up to check her and she was dead.

Doubt she would have died if she had gotten medical care.

Interestingly, because she died at home, police confiscated all meds she was taking and all electronic devices in the house —phones, laptops, iPads, etc.

Two lessons: if there is a vaccine for something, like shingles, take it and seek medical attention and continue to ratchet it up if treatment is not working. Don’t be a passive patient.
