Shingles

shingles
hitting someone hard
in sheer pain
needing relief and respite
gruesome reality
lacking strength
energy annihilated
sorrowful amount of pain

I am so "over this" yet it still has me in its claws. This has been since May, so I am beside myself with "crazy" about it.

That nail's it. Hope you're better. There is a shot you can get; I don't know if it works or not but, you might check it out.

I cannot get the shingles shot until I am pain free for six months. I have had pain since May thanks to this irritating disease.

I have to say I had no idea they could last over five months!
