[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 621506, member: 1967"] I must have a very mild case of shingles. I really have had very little pain. It feels like a generalized low back ache which can be managed easily with Ibuprofen. The rash hasn't spread and is not painful. Maybe it is because I got on the anti-virals quickly. Most of the time I forget that I even have shingles. I do worry that maybe the pain will come when the rash breaks open and starts oozing although the doctor said it might not even do that. I would think I would be in pain by now, though. The rash started on Monday and the preceding back ache came a couple of days before that. difficult child has switched from threatening us to the woe is me tactic. I have her blocked from my phone but she sent some emails to my school email address. I just deleted them without reading them. husband has listened to some of her voice mails and shared them with me but I wish he wouldn't. I can just feel my anxiety level shoot up when he starts telling me about her. It is time that she learned she is responsible for taking care of herself. I coincidentally started reading Co-dependent No More at the same time I had the consultation with the nurse practitioner who very bluntly told me the same thing. . . no more financial help or it would never end. I don't know what we will do if she decides to check into rehab. I know she will do it with the expectation that we will "help" her financially with the halfway house rent. I am afraid it will just turn into a lifetime of rehab and halfway houses that we pay for. The nurse practitioner said that we shouldn't even do that. She said we had paid for rehab and sober living twice now and to let difficult child fend for herself. I guess I will just take it one day at a time. [/QUOTE]
