It is causing me a great deal of frustration. I didn’t really have the money to go to the Dr. and I have no insurence, so it’ll cause a financial problem. It’s itching a lot and hurting. Please pray that it’ll go away quickly. Also pray that, until it does, I can offer the suffering for those in most need of the mercy of Christ. Thank you friends.
 
I pray that you may be healed quickly! :crossrc:

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.
Amen.
 
Been there, done that. Anyone who has ever has chickenpox is susceptible to shingles, and they really do hurt. They can also spread.

Stress is one thing that sets it off, so the more you can relax the faster you’ll heal.

Regardless, you rather do need to get to a doctor. Even if it’s the ER. Most hospitals have to treat you by law, regardless of your ability to pay. You might also check to see if there are any free clinics in your area where you can go. Heck, call a hospital and ask to speak to an ER nurse and ask her.

May St. Raphael attend you with God’s healing and peace.
 
Once you have contracted chicken pox ,which is what the virus is referred to when you’re a kid, it remains in your system forever. You can get this again. Stress does aggravate the condition. It is VERY serious especially in 60 and over. An 80 yr. old suffered with it in the groin area.

There is a shot and it is expensive. It will not cure you but will deminish the effects if it should erupt in the future.

Call KofC. It might have funds for medical emergencies for its members. Also contact Catholic Charities, your doctor, and your local social services.

Prayers are with you.
 
Have you tried soaking in a warm tub with some Epsom salts?
 
Praying for you. Please be careful about the progress of this illness, even without insurance there are hospitals that must treat you.
 
I am praying for you. I just had shingles last month at age 37. My main problem was the pain. I agree that you must try to seek assistance somehow,especially if you are elderly or if it is in a vulnerable place like the face as it can cause blindness or hearing loss if in the ear. Be well
 
Lord God, I lift up to You buzzoff1031. Please touch them with Your mighty healin power so that they may be restored to the best possible health in body, mind, and spirit. Ease their suffering and pain. All these I ask in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Amen.
 
Mother Mary, I commend Buzzoff1031 to you. Please ask our Lord to heal him in accordance with His holy Will, and please help him to carry his cross courageously. Amen.
 
Have you had them before?
When I went through round 2 of shingles I called my Dr and she called the pharmacy.
Although as I understand it if you dont start the antiviral right away it does not help/
As was said in the post above try soaking in a bath with epsom salts.
I hope you are better soon I know that it is miserable.
 
Thanks, guys, for all the prayer support. I did, a few days ago, end up going to the Dr. It did cause a bit of a financial burden, but nothing the Lord and I (and my wife) can’t overcome. Still itches like crazy, but it is slowly going away. And at least I got medicine so it won’t get any worse.

No, I had not had them. The Dr. said I’m not likely to. He said it’s possible, but he said that most often, the ones who are going to have a repeat problem are suffering from something called neuralgia (sp.?) and that it is VERY painful. Mine was fairly painful, but mostly in the way a pulled muscle would be. And that only lasted a couple of days. It mostly is just itching like crazy. So, I’m praying just this once for me. Once is more than enough…
 
Remembering you in my daily prayers and hoping your recovery is rapid and complete. God bless!
