so sorry to hear you're not well Nic

my Dad has had shingles, and it's not nice, very painful from what I can remember about it and it takes awhile to clear up

take care of yourself

Still here and still battling on..wow this shingles does knock you around  & I`m not used to having pain and discomfort for over a week(I have heard some people have to live with nerve pain for the rest of their lives):smileysad:The rash is healing and slowly disappearing.

Thanks for caring xxxxx

yes it does knock you down for quiet a while 

sounds like it has been helped by those meds , i have no idea how they work but it's great that they have something that can help 

rest up and keep getting better
