Oh MA, my heart goes out to you; thinking of the pain you've gone through. I think being old and suffering is just terrible. Here's my Mom already full of the 'normal' aches and pains, and then this. I so wish I could carry this pain for her. It's heart breaking to see an old frail person trembling from pain. Her nerve pain, on a scale from 0-10, is at times a 10.
Dear Lord, why?
Yes, Lynn, shingels is brutal.
