I need prayers...I have the shingles and I am miserable!....chills, pain and itching...headache and body aches.
And a rash every where it seems...even in my brain...ugh!
I am losing all my strength and just want to sleep forever.:(

The doc has an injection that might work...it's an Antiviral.
It sometimes works...and a follow up Vaccine that is good for a year or two.

H2S ,so sorry I have never had chicken pox or shingles, but my mum had it once, on her face. She felt pretty horrible. One thing I thought shingles usually only gives you a rash in one area ?

@Heart2Soul So sorry; I hope you can get relief.

May the really good Scripture verses that you post be of comfort to you, as also you seek medication.

Prayerfully...

Yes, I can just imagine how miserable you are. I pray God will bring you relief and full healing very soon!

My wife had it before. She was having problems and thinking it was her teeth went to the Dentist. He discovered the shingles inside of her mouth and referred her to a regular MD. She was miserable for a while.

I had a friend who's husband had it in his eyes. He wore sunglasses for awhile. Yikes...no mater where it is on the body, it is miserable as I've known quite a few who had it during the years working in the hospital.
I suppose your wife was not able to even eat @amadeus ?

As I recall she went to soft food or soup not requiring a big workout in the mouth before swallowing.

Jesus has done everything for us on the cross, not only to be saved, but to be healed too, because the very original Greek word for 'save', also means 'healing', so we get salvation and healing at the same time. Just begin to thank our Lord Jesus everyday and tell him that you receive your healing from him, which he has provided already, 2000 years ago. The Bible says that Jesus took our infirmities. He took them on the cross. Receive and just believe it, and thank him for your healing, and give him praise!

My sons got chicken pox really badly, but both me and my daughter never caught it. H2S mentioned a rash rather than spots, and she’s a nurse, so pretty sure she would know if it was chicken pox.
I understand shingles is painful as it affects the nerves, my mum looked as if she had had a stroke when she had it, and that didn’t go away completely once she had recovered. Yes, my oldest son was in his 20’s when he caught it from his younger brothers, he was much worse than them, even had the spots in his mouth.
