Please be really careful with shingles, you must have mentally got very run down.hardly surprising  in the circumstances. It is hellish painful as well. Just watch out for any remote signs of it going near your face. It can affect the eye, and starts as a pricking feeling, as if you have an eyelash in your eye. The reason I am telling you, is that it can be treated effectively as long as patients do not ignore it.
Sorry I have my Optometrist head on, doctors here may be better,it's just I know in England they frequently do not advise about possible eye involvement.So patients leave it too long to go and get treatment.
I hope you get over it quickly,you realy must feel miserable with it.
What a time of it you are having.I hope things settle a bit for you sooner rather than later.

Barb, hope you feel better with those shingles. Myself, I always think of oxycontin as the silver lining to just about any malady, but I know not everybody feels the same, so I'm sorry.

What I'm glad about is to know that when you're in pain, physical or emotional, you still feel this is a good place to come to talk about it. Keep it up, Bud. We'll be here for you.

Hey Barb, I hope the trees are beautiful for your trip to NY.  Shingles suck.  I would take a good B complex and lysine.  And, devastatingly, I would stay away from chocolate til it subsides.

OMG Barb, I do feel for you with those dam shingles. My hubby had them a couple of years ago, on one side of his neck and it went up thru his hair, and he said he had never experienced anything so painful.

And yes, it is a sign of being run down mentally, which shows just how much all these past months have affected you.

Take care and build up your strength again. My thoughts are with you.

Any better today ?? I don't know where you live, but in England, di hydro codeine is the best P.K you can get. You could also get some calm you down tablets. Even though you might not feel stressed, you probably are and when we are stressed our bodies deal with pain much less well.

Sorry if it sounds like I am trying to turn you into some kind of junkie, but I saw so many cases of shingles when I was in practice and I worry about people when they get it as I know the pain is hell,I have seen grown men cry with the pain, particularly if it gets in your eye.

So please be careful and look after yourself.
