Very sorry to hear that you are suffering with Shingles,
and especially after the operation, too, @Jan14 !

The post above was correct, that you now have all of us here, sending you our caring and hopes you will recover well and soon!

Thanks to you and to all the above posters, for reminding me I am meaning to get that non-live vaccine for shingles.

Being hospitalized two days and getting iv anti viral meds worked great. I’m feeling so much better. The pain is subsiding. There were some rough days

good to hear you are feeling better! I had shingles a couple of years ago which lasted quite a long time. The only thing that really helped relieve the pain was an epidural in my spine, which is where the shingles virus lives. I hope you don't have to resort to that, but if you do, it really can be a game changer.
