Ramona, are you feeling better now? You wrote in November, and I am wondering if the shingle pain is gone!

How nice of you to inquire! I wish I had better news. After a year plus of doctors’ visits of all kinds, acupuncture, chiropractics, medications, I still have issues. Gratefully, the pain is not as intense as it once was, but I still have nerve damage, numbness, tingling, itchiness and at times stop me in my tracks pain. I’m resigned to living with it with a gratitude that I am blessed as I know that there are others who have it so much worse than I do. Thanks again for asking.
