Yes, shingles are awful - especially is you get a bad case of them, which I did. I got the antiviral med, but I was already about halfway through and so it didn't so much. They just had to run their course. I still took the medicine so as to prevent lingering problems. I would HIGHLY recommend to those eligible to get the vaccine. Shingles are not something you want to get!! I am doing much better foot, shingles, fall and all. Hoping for a good report and green light on the 20th so I can begin trying some weight bearing. Thank you for your sweet prayers - they are felt. <br />Blessings to you,<br />Bev xxBev Rihtarchik - Walking Well With Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18225613427007199391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443269509543825661.post-37252671161847566112017-06-09T05:40:49.960-07:002017-06-09T05:40:49.960-07:00Bev, I have been praying for you since I first sta...Bev, I have been praying for you since I first started reading your blog a few weeks ago. Shingles are terrible. Several of my friends had them. One person, from my support group, was able to get the shingles shot while she currently had shingles. Hopefully, your doctor can do the same for you. <br />Thus far, I have been unable to reply to any of your posts, so we'll see if this one works. :-) According to the time on your last comment, you were up during the wee hours of the night. But, you were not alone. God was with you (Psalm 27:10, Hebrews 13:5) and He is still with you. Praying you get some good, restorative rest today. -From Erin @ burdenfreecaregiving.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07202151138512557388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443269509543825661.post-64810049914372823762017-06-09T03:57:11.603-07:002017-06-09T03:57:11.603-07:00Jennifer,

It IS hard to remain steadfast sometimes and I do have my share of breakdowns and "Why me?" sessions with God. In His Word He tells us we will have pain, but yes, sometimes it comes in doses bigger than we can bear by ourselves. That's where His grace and our dependence come into play. Thanks for your prayers and servant's heart sweet friend!<br />Blessings,<br />Bev xoxo<br />Bev Rihtarchik - Walking Well With Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18225613427007199391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443269509543825661.post-26283413699025073662017-06-09T03:52:05.955-07:002017-06-09T03:52:05.955-07:00Sarah,

However, I just wanted to say that I will certainly be praying for you. What a lot you are enduring....all at the same time. Just one of those trials would be plenty! Such a blessing to have friends with wise counsel and encouragement! Surely there are blessings to us when we persevere - and God certainly gives us exactly what we need. One day at a time. Praying that you will feel stronger - and more comfortable - every morning. Thanks for taking the time to continue to blog.

The ministry of life is worth the occasional pain, isn't it? -- Hope you're beginning to feel better by now. I think I'm having a flare-up of shingles again myself. I think I might have escaped a full-blown case though. I haven't been scratching it, so it hasn't spread farther. I hope yours goes away soon. I hate taking those steroids.

I know the enemy piggy backs on anxiety disorders, but try to weigh his lies (you can't) against God's Truth which says, "You CAN!" Practice in the small stuff with baby steps. Each little victory helps you trust God and know He'll always go with you. Take hold of His righteous right hand. Praying for you sweet sister. Thank you for sharing.

But I love how you are choosing to see beyond the physical circumstances and look at it all with God's perspective. Your choosing Him is a beautiful, encouraging testimony.
