Thank you for being my friends, it is nice to know someone is listening. I don't have much to report, other than I have been off for awhile because of depression. I was really looking forward to being treated by a new Dr., who specializes in Pain Management. After three ESI injections that did'nt work I gave up. I am still on Lyrica and Cymbalta, they do help some, but not enough. My pain is underneath my rib cage, from side to side, burning, squeezing, pinching. The skin on my back is so sensitive, there are places where the nerve endings are close to the surface, I cannot dress properly. I think shingles shoul be rated as one of the worst things that can happen to any body.
Through it all I try to keep going, so I can still have some "life".
