He has not slept since Sat. night. Resting right now because of med Dr. gave him but these things are very, very painful. Thank u Lillian

How is your husband progressing? Lillian, I'm sorry to learn about this;I do hope it is not effecting his eyes; it is VERY painful and it will test both of you with regard to patience and no doubt will be making you both very weary by now - you are both in my prayers - wish I could think of a funny story to make you both laugh - maybe one of the other Cuties can help in that department?

Sorry to hear that.. Hope he gets better soon.
Prayers are with you..

How is your sweet DH? I hope that he is getting MUCH better. Still praying.

I will say a special prayer for a speedy and complete recovery

So sorry. I don't know much about shingles, but that it is very painful. Does stress bring it on? You must get him better before the great grand arrives.

Oh your poor husband. Shingles is not at all nice, I remember having ibroprofen and paracetamol on a very regular basis for quite a few days. Get plenty of rest yourself. Thinking of both of you

Thank u asterix. Just when I think he is getting better, more blisters break out. *

I was lucky I had the blisters on my hand but it was horrendous all the same. somehow I got comfort from shaking my hand, sounds odd but it worked. Displacement pain? I just remember the paracetamol and ibroprofen worked wonders. By the time it was diagnosed it was too late for medication. Still thinking of you both

Have had them and don't want them back. They are very painful. All you want to do is sit perfectly still and have some one knock you out. Prayers ae with you all Love Ronny

Thank u Marietta. We r still hanging in there . Although he did beg me to just put him out of his misery yesterday. He was able to sleep 4 straight hrs. last night.

Oh Lillian I hope and pray for a speedy recovery for him. I do hope the medications can give him relief from his pain. Please let him know he is in our prayers and that we are all hoping he recovers quickly. Hugs, Mary

Thank u Mary. *

Certainly my prayers are with you and with him. Know it is very painful as my MIL had a bad case recuperated.
Be aware that there is a vaccine to prevent a recurrance of shingles; it is expensive though.

Thank u jacqui & yes I am aware of the vaccine & neither mdcr or my supplement covers it but he is going to get that injection when he recovers from all this.
Don't want him to ever have to go through this again. *

Sorry to hear about your husband. I have also had shingles and know how painful it can be. The medication was extremely helpful for me so I hope it will be for him also. Give him this wish/message ...

Thank u gerry I'm having to give him his meds every 4 & a half hrs. around the clock so if he does fall asleeep I have to wake him. I'm trying but lordy it is difficult. *

Oh my Lil, that is so awful, my Grand and one of my best freinds DH gets Shingles, too and everyone says it is the worst pain ever. I will be praying for the pain to ease and for you to be there for him in everyway that he needs you. Hopefully the meds will help and he will just have a short while in recovery.

Thanks Shirlene. He comes asking me "how long is it going to hurt like this?" I try to console but I know when pain is bad all u want is for it to stop. Prayer right now is our best adversary. *

Oh Lillian, I'm so sorry to hear this. Please tell DH he has my deepest sympathy. You will both be in my prayers. I'm sure it's almost as hard on you as it is on him. My Dad got hit with shingles last summer and I have never seen him so miserable. Hope the meds do the trick real quick. Keep us updated on how he, and you are doing.

Thank u Maryjo. Hubby said" this is only suppose to happen to old men" well DUH what is 71 but an old man. I had to smile but he is in misery. *

I am so sorry to hear about this. Yes shingles is very painful. I will pray for your husband that the medication will relief the discomfort really soon. That he may recuberate very fast. I keep you in my prayers that you are able to get some rest and have the strength to take care of him. Hugs are coming your way (((()))))

Thank u so very much we both need your prayers, him to b tolerant of pain & me to b patient & tolerant of him. Of course I love him dearly & I know he is suffering. *

Hi Lillian, so sorry to hear about your husband having Shingles. Ouch! I have had Hives (Urticaria) for the past 8 or 9 months on and off and I get "ratty" with them. I can't think what Shingles pain would be like - mine are just itchy and come up in huge welts. My Grandfather got them once and he said the pain was unbearable. I do pray that he is resting as I believe that is one of the ways to let it pass. I hope the medication has set in by now - I notice this was posted 7 hours ago - I will ask the Lord to please ease the pain and let him sleep comfortably.

I'll also ask the Lord for a sense of peace for you too so that you can cope with your husband's demands.

Ask and you shall receive! Love and blessings Chris

Chris I do thank u so much. right now prayer is definitely what we both need. thank u for taking time out from out embroidering all those delightful jungle creatures to think about us. *

Miss Lill, I'm soooo sooo sorry. It must be horrible for him. I know that shingles are very, very painful. I remember when bikermomfl had them and she said how bad they were. You take care of yourself you hear? I'll be praying hard for you both.;)

Thank u Jerrilyn. I know I can always depend on you.

Lillian, I am sorry to hear this. I do hope he will re-coop quickly with the meds. I will definately keep both of you in my prayers! Let him know that we are praying that he will be better very soon. May the Lord bless both of you now and all the days to come. I am sure that you are losing sleep and worried also! You take care of him but do not let yourself get rundown doing so! It would not be good for both of you to get sick at the same time. Hugs, Linda

Thank u Linda & yes I need your prayers also. It's so hard to know someone u love is hurting & there is very little u can do to ease the hurt. *

Oh I will keep you in my prayers. I hope his pain is managed and will continue to ease. I hope he is able to rest comfortably and heal fast. Hope you are doing well and please find time to rest yourself as well. *
