      I loved your message, thank you so much. I do plan to ask my doctor why the shingles make me so tired. I posted another journal entry today. Stay well Love U, Judy

      Hope you can keep from getting depressed. Yes, I am sure there is life after shingles. Hang in there.

      I've had shingles for a month now, without any end in site. Apparently a kidney infection brought them on. I have all the "typical" symptons, with intense pain, worse at night, can't sleep, etc. The doctor had me on Valtrex, Predisone, Vicoden and I am going in 1/4 for alternative pain management consultation. I feel depressed, despairing, fearful and can't function in the normal day to day routine. I'm not able to work and lost my job. I have no medical insurance, all adds to the despair.

      Treatments

      Valtrex Working / Worked
      Didn't seem to work. All meds add up to constipation.
