Hang in there, @mamacita. Shingles are no picnic - I may have mentioned that I had them personally, maybe 4 years ago. The doctor actually discovered mine when looking at a cyst on my back. So, I got to experience some of the ugliness of the shingles, but probably tempered due to being treated on the early side. I am empathizing with your discomfort and the fires of shingles.

@Lisa Lucier, Connect Moderator, good evening! Thank you for commenting on my post! I believe I do see the light at the end of the tunnel.

As soon as I can safely do so, I will take the Shingles vaccine. Perhaps this will be my first and last experience with Shingles.

It is certainly a very humbling disease. Open sores, itchy spots, and flaky skin....reminds me of lepers in the Bible. "Unclean, unclean!"

Hopefully I have learned a bit more compassion for those who have to deal with this horrid condition.

If I have, it's been worth it. Have a great weekend, my friend. See you again soon.
Mamacita
