Health Update: Shingles

A few posts ago I mentioned that I had sciatic nerve pain, well it turned out that four days later I had developed a rash that turned out to be shingles. Let me tell you this, this is the most excruciating pain that I have ever felt especially since it affected my sciatic nerve. 

It has been 18 days, and I am finally starting to get some relief. Praise God! When you have a non-stop pain level of 10, it wears you down fast. I was able to sleep through the night for the first-time last night. I did get up at 5 am, but I slept a solid 6 hours. I have been sleeping only a couple hours at a time before having to get up due to the pain. 

I am grateful to be ever so slowly sliding towards 0 on the pain scale. I am amazed at what the human body can go through.


Shalom and good health,

Mrs. Smith
