15. I think I've reached the beginning of the end.

Woke up this morning with considerably less pain.
I still took a pain pill and then did the morning tidy-up chores feeling good!
My rash looks like it's actually healing. I guess the anti-viral meds have been working and the worst is behind me. This has certainly been an experience and as stated before, one to wish on only a Cheney.
On the bright side, I think I lost a few pounds due to nausea from the meds.
