Bless your sweet little stressed heart!  My sister gets shingles from time to time...she loves it, too.  Nothing says "Merry Christmas" like an itchy painful case of shingles!!! Anyway, her doctor usually gives her an antiviral medicine, an anti-inflamitory and then something for the pain.  My vote it go to see your pcp or at least give him/her a call. Big smooch! Freddie

Oh ye of little faith.  Already called doc and have an appointment this morning.  I know better than to mess around with this.  I would have gone sooner but  it just now really presented like shingles.  It didnt hurt at first so i thought it was a rash or hives. So dont worry ya'll I am doing what I am supposed to.  But I thought if someone knew of something new they had heard about, I could get the pcp to write a script for it.  A girl at work said they make lidocaine patches that help.  Thanks for caring!!!!  Muah (scratch, ouch!)

Paula, I have had them a couple of times and you are right they are painful.  The doc can prescribe some meds, but they are still very uncomfortable. Hope you feel better soon, not much of a Christmas present. darlene

Sorry you feel bad!  If shingles is caused by stress, I'm scared!

bummer Paula! I hope the doc gives you some good meds. I didn't realize you could give yourself shingles. I hope you feel better soon!
