Hi Joyce! Oh, you poor dear! I remember my mom having shingles and she suffered horribly. I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with the pain and anguish associated with that nasty creature! Are your symptoms improving?

Having constant pain disrupting your daily life can sure rob a person of any continued joy. No wonder you feel the need for a little attitude recharge. Well, I’m really honored and happy to know I could contribute to boosting your joie de vivre! Though I’m suspecting you already have this inside of you and just needed a little nudge. We all do from time to time.

It’s heartwarming to hear about the support you received from other members in Connect who also experienced Shingles. That’s the beauty of this caring community! What a comfort to know we’re not alone in what we’re going through. Those who have walked before us, along the same path, now reach out to offer help and encouragement.

Thank you for helping to spread the word about Mayo Clinic Connect!
