Default Hi Folks

My name is John but folks call me Big John. I am a retired police officer. I live right on the banks of the Cumberland River in Tennessee. Hope to learn some things about why the pain is still so bad after 7 weeks with Shingles.

Sorry to hear your in so much pain!! Unfortunatly Big John the pain can last for months to even years with shingles. Did You go to the MD and get some meds for the shingles? They can also give you some pain meds.

Hi there Big John.

So sorry to hear you have Shingles. I know LOTS of people who have had Shingles on various places in their bodies.

So sorry to hear you are in pain. Your doctor can give you something for the pain.

Let's hope it works.

Take care,

Melody

Hi, neighbor,

I'm in Kentuck.

Shingles are bad. Sorry you are suffering with that. Pain management may be in your future. You have to do what you have to do for now. It won't always be this way. Just deal with it one day at a time, or hour by hour may be more appropriate.

Try using the search button above for shingles. It may yield some helpful information.

It is a joy living in the hills come springtime... Budding beauty all around us.

Yeah, yard work to do. For now, consider hiring that out. I'm sure you know someone responsible that could use the money to feed their family.

Hope. You find some peace in your day.

See you around the board.
