[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 396636, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Triple J, watch this very carefully ~ my acquired brain injury is due to shingles. The infection spread into my eye; from there it I developed meningitis & zoster encephalitis. Do not hesitate to go to ER if you have any stiffness in your neck (i.e. cannot touch your chin to your chest), trouble with your jaw, & start running a temp. Did the MDs prescribe a anti viral medication like Acyclovir[/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS] (I think that's the name - don't quote me)? With the shingles situated so close to your eye have you been examined by a opthamalogist? In the meantime, do not be hesitant to ask for pain medications. I was on IV morphine during my 3 week stay in the hospital. Neurontin is the medication for long term treatment of the nerve pain. by the way, I'm giggling over the stress question. I was asked the same thing at the onset of my shingles & I became almost hysterical with laughter. husband had to leave the room with the MDs to explain our level of stress. Take care my dear, please. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
