Shortshot80 will put you on our prayer list in bible class next time we meet. This would be a good time to put a shout out for those who make entries here and are 50+ to get the shingles vaccine. That was on my bucket list to do when I turned 60-as that was the suggested age-shingles came before the age and the ride was not a pleasant one. Fortunately I started treatment well before the breakout sadly I was misdiagnosed three days prior but the shingles journey can be a very rough, long and painful ride. As I have been there and done that I don't want to take that ride every again-by the way if you didn't know you can get shingles again-well according to a pharmacist that filled my scripts. Another reason to be vaccinated.

My significant other has delt with shingle break outs. Terrible thing. She just got the treatment a couple months ago. So yes take it seriously.

Thank you, I would be delighted to be on your Prayer list. One of the ladies brought us lunch yesterday. Very good to eat someone else's cooking.The leg the shingles is on, is so weak, I almost drop to the floor. Only thing that stops me is the Walker. So many things, I have trouble accepting "help"I'm 83 years old and have done everything mostly myself. It's hard to accept "Help" of any kind. I have to have help today, going to take a shower. My husband is 89 and on oxygen so not able to help much. Oldest Son 65 lives with us to help, but he doesn't want to help in the shower. (I don't blame him). It is really very tired out today! The shingles on my right leg has changed the skin. Makes it feel "funny, tough"., I can't even have a flu shot now for over a month/siz weeks. Have to see the oncologist next week, and some kidnew doc;'s soon. . I slept most the night, but still tired. thanks. Nancy Bush (shortshot80)

Great idea! I didn't know that there was a vacine. This is the second time for the shingles, and the worst of all. I think I was in my 50's the first time . Nancy (short shot)
