34 m here. It’s been a week since I noticed red rashes on right side of my back. The doctor mentioned that it could be shingles and now I am on antibiotics. I know that it’s not spreading to other areas. I am curious to know how did I catch this? I had chicken pox when I was a kid.

Have rosacea and hitting 40 in couple months. I have deep smile lines that I would like to do something and generally some maintenance treatments but unsure with rosacea in the mix. Does anyone have experience with rosacea and cosmetic treatments that you would recommend/stay away from?

If I resign this week, my medical insurance will expire almost immediately after I resign right? My therapist is out of network and he sends invoices and receipts by the end of each month. So that means I technically cannot claim reimbursement from my insurance for my January therapy expenses, right?
