@karen8 You are most entitiled your sadness. What you are dealing with is difficult and sad and no one can blame you for sadness. Is your fiancé being treated for his long-covid and shingles? Is his doctor aware of the severe pain? Has he been to the ER? Probably the best thing that you can do for home is to be his advocate. Keep good notes on the day and time when his pain is most severe and what you were able to do for him. Does he have an adequate fluid intake. Is he pee-ing well? Does he have a fever? Is he able to sleep well at night?
And remember, shingles is communicable. So you have to be extra careful!
I’ve asked too many questions! The members just want you to be safe and stay well. Big hug to you!!
