[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 484895, member: 1233"] Thanks, I will suggest these. I HATE not being able to give him a hug. HATE HATE HATE it. He saw his reg doctor today and the doctor suggested lidoderm patches cut to size for his forehead. dad told him I had already suggested it. Seems the doctor had a "Doh!" Homer Simpson moment, according to my dad. After Dad told him I already suggested them, the doctor remembered that I am the reason most of his patients with muscle/joint pain of any kind are usuing them. When I figured out how amazing they are, I pushed and prodded until my parents and an aunt all asked their own docs about the patches. Now their docs are also using them, lol. If you EVER get shingles again, PUSH the doctor to rx these. they are expensive, about $200 for 30, and most ins co's cover them. Medicaid/state kids ins will only cover them for shingles, but private ins usually isn't that picky. Thanks for the ideas. he is miserable. And alone for a day or three, see thread re: my mom.
