I officially give up this month, doc has just confirmed that I have now got shingles on top of fibro flare.....seriously.....can this month get any worse......pain everywhere, even more pain where rash thing is & feel like I have got flu minus the cold bit of it :( been told to up my dose of pentazocine to every 2 hours, but not given me antivirals as thinks they would be too toxic for me & no guarantee they would do much anyway! Hope everyone else is having a far better day, love & huggles, Janey xx xx

Awww bless you Frazzle2day,

I had 3 lots of Shingles a couple of months ago and it was soooo painful, so I completley understand how you must feel.

Soft HUGS,
