✨Tash's Tips✨

Shingles is a painful skin rash caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox.
If you've had the chickenpox, the virus can reactivate later in life causing painful red blisters.

‼️Watch for:
▪️Tingling or burning pain
▪️A red rash that turns into blisters
▪️Rash and/or blisters that only appear on one side of the body or face

🟢Treatment
▪️Early treatment can reduce pain and complications such as post-herpatic neuralgia and opthalmicus (nerve pain and optic nerve involvement)
▪️Seeking medical attention as early as possible is key in receiving the right anti-viral.

🛑Prevention:
▪️Shingrix is a vaccine available and recommended for adults. It is only fully funded whilst you are 65 years of age - Dont miss out !!

Our pharmacists can offer prevention with the vaccine, or if you have previously been diagnosed with Shingles and they recur - we can prescribe anti-virals to reduce the burden.

Think you’re seeing double?
You’re not - introducing our two exceptional Retail Assistants

✨Nicola and Tracy✨

They’re often mistaken for one another, but here’s how to tell who’s who:

🟣Nicola is here Mondays & Tuesdays
🔵Tracy is here Wednesdays, Thursdays & Fridays

Same friendly smile - just different days!

🌟What is your role and what does a typical day look like?
We are Retail Assistants and have job shared for over 20 years. We spend our day serving customers, processing orders and putting stock away. We also create displays and arrange the store. Every day is busy and we are always learning new skills.

🌟A fun fact about me:
Tracy:
I love the outdoors and a typical weekend for me is getting away to my happy place in Twizel - where you will find me on the hills with my dog or at the canals fishing and hanging out with my family.

Nicola:
My grandaughter and I love spending time crafting together. We make handmade keyrings and pens and sell them at local markets as "Grandma & Me"

🌟If you could have a superpower, what would it be?
If we had superpowers we would love to feed all the hungry children and heal those in need.

🌟What do you enjoy about serving the Temuka Community?
We have loved building a special relationship with our customers over the years. Building friendships and trust when advising them and their families has been very rewarding - especially when they return to the pharmacy for further assistance - thats the best part of our small community. We all care for one another.
