Guest guest Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I wish you a speedy recovery from singles . my mother had them one point and she said it was so painfull .. you are in my prayers. many hugs Jackie Many Blessings A. Thank you for your reply. The shingles are as everyone has said rough. the itching has slowed down thanks to Benadryl and cal. lotion. The burning to the touch is still there but my pain meds are helping. I am just plain uncomfortable. However this too shall pass. I take the generic of Valtrex so I hope that is going to help and I hope soon. Take care and be pain free and happy. Jackie Darn Hi everyone. I don't know if this is considered a flare or not but it is crappy, itchy and painful. I have my FIRST EVER bout with shingles. I don't know how it started the doctors seem to think it is the stress I have been under lately. My other half was on a 3 year drunk and it almost killed him. The he decides to go to Texas and I have to make all the arrangements. He has been sober for about a month now but he has turned into a jerk. Nothing I do makes him happy and he finds everything wrong with the world. waa waa waa I know. I am bitching. Sorry. If I complain to my family they want me to leave him. ly I have thought of that but he is really a good man and I love him. He stuck with me through all of this when he could have just walked out. We are not married. We were 10 years ago for 9 years. I left somewhat for the same reasons. He waited for me all those years. Just before I got the monster we got back together. He should have run like a rabbit. I know I told you all this before. I am just so confused right now. I wonder if it would be better for both of us If I did leave. I don't know I think I need to talk to someone. well anyway the reason I am really posting is I want to know if anyone has any suggestions for this shingles. I am on a virus killer big time and I am up to 40 mg of prednisone, 3 days, 20, 3 days then my reg. I hope it works. I am using calamine lotion to help stop the itching and hydrocodine for the pain. Makes me sleep. The darn thing started on my back and is almost all the way around my waist. It has only been since Friday. anyway can anyone help???? hope everyone else is doing fine. hoping for a pain free dayS for you all. Still in my prayers. Scratchly yours.
