Back when, I got a nasty case of Shingles. MD was very suprised to see it in someone my age and speculated that I must be under tremendeous stress. That was an understatement, for sure.
My public health note of the year is for all to consider getting the Shingles vaccination. The pain is out of this world and can lead to permanent disfigurement, depending on where it settles.
I sure hope you feel better. Take care of yourself. From what I understand shingles is much like the varicella virus, which is Chicken pox, I think? I know a few people who suffered great pain with shingles. My sister being one of them. I don't know what the treatment is, but I'm thinking if it's a virus, you just have to wait for it to run its course. I will say a prayer for your quick recovery. Thanks for stopping by. Hug
