I am so sorry to hear you are ill. I learned quite a bit about it from this post, thanks for the information, now get better!
173580Oh my! I have had them so certainly feel your pain!! That med you are on will help, but the quicker you get on it the better. Hope they caught it quick. I did take the shingles shot AFTER having them, but waited quiet a while before taking it. Now they say to take this new one also. I sure am going to. Don't get around young children. Did you know you have to have had chicken pox to have shingles? Praying for pain relief and recovery!

740194So sorry Dee, have seen many cases including my hubby during my nursing years. Know they can be extremely painful.
145789I'm sorry for your suffering. But I don't understand why your doctor would prescribe an antibiotic for shingles which is caused by a virus and not bacteria. Time to get a new doctor and new meds!

Okay. Good to know you were prescribed the appropriate antiviral and not antibiotic--which would not be helpful.
7068So sorry Dee. I myself, have not had them but dear hubby has. No fun from what I saw....
109043Been there, got the t shirt. So sorry for your pain. I did take the shot after going through it and I had a major reaction, but am hopeful it means I will not have it again. There is a newer, improved vaccination out - ask your doctor for his wisdom. Will pray for this to end sooner.
Other Cuties, get the shot, even if you have to skip groceries for a week. You do not want this pain.
