~He Has Shingles!~

@1creekgirl Thank you, he needs it. Yeah I don't know if he will be able to get it but he can ask. He has a very low immune system, has had it since he was born. =(

You have to be over 50 years old to get the vaccine. I got Shingles last year, and I was begging my doctor for the shot. He told me he couldn't administer it until I turned 50.

@moffittjc Wow, that's stupid since you can get shingles at a younger age.

@jstory07 He's going to go when he has a day off. Thank you for praying, he needs it.

@Linda1234 Thank you for praying. He's hurting so bad. =(

I will pray for him.God bless him and your family.Hope he will get better soon.

@LovingMyBabies ......He does try though doesn't he?

@celticeagle Yes that describes him perfectly. =(

@marguicha Thanks. He's going to go to the hospital on his next day off to get something for it.

@LovingMyBabies He should go ASAP. It is highly contagious.

@LovingMyBabies NO, tell him to go immediately, if he waits he can have pain for months.

@Ladyduck He's going to the hospital after work in a few hours. He's in so much pain. =(

@LadyDuck My doc told me that if it attacks the eyes it has to be seen within 72 hours, otherwise it could be very dangerous for the eye.

@LovingMyBabies I know how painful it is. When I had shingles and I went to my Doctor he said he was glad that it has not developed from more than three days, it is easier to treat it. Good luck to your husband.

@Courtlynn Yeah he's going to the hospital today to get it checked.

@LovingMyBabies will keep you guys in my thoughts.

@Courtlynn Thank you.

@LovingMyBabies Your very welcome

@Tina30219 Thank you for praying.

@shavkat Thanks. He's going to thr hospital after work in a few hours.

@LovingMyBabies I hope he will be fine soon.

@yukomori Yeah that's our life. He's in so much pain. All through out the night he was up screaming in pain. =( It was so heart breaking. Yeah he's not getting too close to the babies.

@LovingMyBabies That's so tough to deal with. Is there any way he can get into urgent care before his next day off? If not, maybe he could try taking turmeric supplements in the meantime. Part of shingles' symptoms is the virus causing inflammation, and turmeric seems to be effective for reducing inflammation. I've been taking it for a few weeks for my fibromyalgia pain with pretty good results. It hasn't replaced the prescriptions I'm taking, but it's definitely helped cut down my pain levels in conjunction with them. I went from taking 3-4 of the prescription pain pills a day to 1-2 within a few days of starting them. So maybe it would help whatever OTC pain relievers he's taking be more effective at least until he can get in and see a doctor. Huge hugs to you both. Having to deal with this really stinks.

@Juliaacv Thank you for the prayers. He's in so much pain. =( He's going to the hospital after he gets off work. He was up all night with the pain, screaming about every 20 minutes. It was heart breaking.

@LovingMyBabies Oh I feel for him......it can be just awful Jenn, I'll say another for him this evening.

@marlina He's going to the hospital after he gets off work in a few hours. He's in so much pain. =(

@marlina I'm glad he's going too. He decided to go sooner because of my discussion here so thank you. I will make sure we are all very nice to him, I know he's hurting bad. =(

@LovingMyBabies So glad that your husband is going to consult TODAY. He must be in terrible pain, you are going to have to be extremely nice with him and so are the kids. He might not be in the best mood. But it is not his fault. I feel bad for him knowing how bad that pain can be.

@just4him Thank you for praying, I appreciate it.

@LovingMyBabies You're welcome.

@Imperfet Thank you.

@dgobucks226 Yeah he was screaming in pain every 20 minutes through out the night. I felt so bad for him. =(

@LovingMyBabies It is a terrible illness Anyone over 50, the vaccine shot should definitely be considered and side effects are minimal if you get any at all. Wish I had gotten one, but was not aware or educated about it at the time.

@dodo19 Thank you I hope so too.

@allknowing Yeah he's going to the hospital after work in a few hours.

@andriaperry Thank you. He's going to the hospital after he gets off work in a few hours. Hopefully they will give him something.

@NJChicaa We can't afford for him to take off work. I read about it online and it says when the blisters burst it's contagious. It's not to that stage yet. Julian had his chicken pox shot and so have the older kids. The only one that hasn't yet is Josiah. And he's not going near him.

@CaseyRoss9966 Thank you. Yeah my husband is in extreme pain. =(

@bellatt Yeah he's in a lot of pain. =( Thank you for praying for him.
