<p>I have shingles, classes start tommorow but i am contagious and im worried about spreading it should i tell people should i not? i was just diagnosed on saturday im on meds, and im doing ok but its spreading too patches on other parts of my body. Honestly the cough that has come a long w/ the shingles is bothering me more than the rash its only a little itchy and it just making my muscles a little sore, nothing to major but my cough theres sometimes where i cannot catch my breath. Its only a mild case and my friend will b driving me back to doctor later in the week, but i cannot imagine how both my aunts dealt w/ this, including my aunt diane who Just got it a few weeks b4 me and is still recovering.</p>
<p>Blessing in disguise(disguised as an annoying and extremely contagious rash). Don’t worry about the first day of classes. Your professors will probably use the majority of class-time justifying their wonderfully simple grading systems. </p>
<p>Stay in bed, friends and strangers alike will appreciate it.</p>
<p>first day of classes aren’t really important. You can ask the professor for the syllabus and other materials after class the next day or whatnot. </p>
<p>Stay in bed especially if the shingles is spreading. My sister had shingles but only a tiny bit on her back. So it was okay but yours sounds really bad esp. with the cough. I can’t remember if she had a cold. </p>
<p>I hope you feel better</p>
<p>Stay in bed, don’t go to class.</p>
<p>But be sure to email your professors, because (at least at my school), there are often waiting lists for some classes, and professors use attendance in the first couple days to gauge whether or not somebody is interested (consequently, they may drop you from the roster if they think you’re not).</p>
