Praying right now. I've heard shingles are so painful. I personally don't think throwing your back out caused shingles, but, I am not a doctor. God Bless You Greatly!

It’s a pain like no other, including labor! I have only been able to get about 2-3 hours of sleep per day/night for over a week because of the pain. I’m pretty much completely blistered over at this point. I’ve been using calamine lotion and was prescribed an antiviral medication. Also taking acetaminophen and ibuprofen. I appreciate your blessings. I’ve prayed for relief many, many times this week.
