Suffering with shingles

Thank you, everyone for your prayers this week while I’m in bed with shingles. I had naively thought the fact that I'm in pain most of the time anyway (with arthritis) would mean that I'd cope better with shingles pain. I was wrong, however. It's just a different kind of pain, on top of the usual muscular pain. This past weekend was particularly hard, with a pounding headache, and a lot of pain in my eye and ear on the right side of my face, as well as down the right side of my body. As I'm one of those fortunate people who never get headaches, the constant throbbing was a bit of a trial. I stayed in bed all weekend, but could barely even concentrate enough to read. The good news is that the pain in my face and head seems to have eased slightly now, and I’m trusting that the pain in my back and arm will soon abate too. Thanks for your prayers.
