Hi, @gingerw , yes, I think one of the good old home remedies is something I should try. Allergic to cammomile, unfortunately. But I have oats! When some Auties ( like me) are stressed out with sickness and uncertainty, we tend to either melt down or go into hibernation. Being a Psychology major, former Social Worker, and presently a Pastoral Counselor, I have so many options available in my head.

So I counsel myself. I am cheap. I listen. And I encourage myself to follow through with what works to make me feel better.

Just having this "table" to come to where I am accepted and heard means the world to me. Finding out you are Autistic after living so much of one's life thinking you are a failure, is an answered prayer. It is freedom. It is a day of jubilee. Blessings, love, and light to all who enter here!

@msmacita You are so gracious I pray your shingles get better We use to do a oatmeal bath on people who where itchy that may help you maybe some aloe vera for comfort rub it on take care Nameste

@mamacita I hope this finds you feeling better every day. I know that it is difficult to forgive a primary care doctor to miss something as serious as shingles. We just don't want to doubt them do we? I have been away from the internet for a few days, was able to read partial posts but could not respond to anybody. I hope that today is a better day than yesterday for you. Each day can be a challenge or a struggle or a joy. It seems that we have power to make it one or the other; sometimes it's just one little change to make a difference. Please be gentle on yourself and know that we are here around the Cyber table holding your spot for you!
