My Mom has been diagnosed with Shingles and is in a great deal of pain. She's also very depressed as she's had them before and knows what she's in for. My parent's 61st anniversary is Thursday and it doesn't look like they will get to celebrate.... Thank you!

Oh Walden - that's awful. Prayers being said immediately.

Ouch! Sending prayers for her.

That sucks! Hopefully they can help her manage her pain and your Dad will still take her to celebrate when she's feeling better and can enjoy it. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

Shingles, eek. Good luck.

I'm sorry your mom is going through this. Healing thoughts and prayers to the both of you.

I remember my grandmother suffering from that...it looks/sounds awful...healing thoughts headed her way!

God bless you mom, walden. I hope y'all were able to acknowledge the blessing of 61 years together.

My friends mom (who is in her 80's) has fought the shingles for 3 years now. It's awful!

Prayers for your mom.

Prayers from Florida.

Prayers from Texas.

So sorry your Mom has shingles!

Sending prayers.

Walden - how's your mother doing?

I spoke with her yesterday and she is feeling better. The meds are helping but she isn't well yet.

Walden, you and your mom are in our prayers. My dad had them once for about 6 months.

I had them myself once, so your mother is definitely in my prayer and hope she gets some relief soon.

Sending my prayers - my sister had them a few years ago and I know it is just miserable. So sorry.
