Yup and it's why I posted again--just in case the incentive had worn off, from my last post--we all know what procrastinators we are!--I wanted people to think, "damn, hasn't it been at least..." and reconsider whether they wanted to roll the dice!

To clarify for any others what I posted earlier: since the beginning of this year, Medicare part D is supposed to cover the Shingrix vaccine. Presumably Medicare Advantage plans must too, but ask.
Actually — rescind those huggs, Hitch … I’m sure you don’t want them just now! Does ice or hot water do anything positive for the pain? keep on with those opiates, since they help, and DO please keep breathing!!

Yes, as much as I love you all, belay the hugs for now. The odd part is, there's almost very little topical (heat, cold, calomine, etc.) that seems to have much of an effect. Yes, if you pat me, I'll jump and yelp--I get this oddball delay and then a spike of pain.
The (other) unprovoked (?) pains seem to shoot below the skin. Sure, you can cause it (with hugs, backslaps and all that) but the typical for me is that you're just sitting there, minding your own business and abruptly, you get God-tasered with a bolt of pain that shoots from point a to point b, somewhere in my torso. The frequency at the moment is the one thing that seems--seems--to be declining, so I am hopeful.
Like just then--like those old "stitches" you'd get, in school, elementary school when you'd run too fast or too far and you had to bend over to catch your breath--but mine get this coating of lava, at least, with this Shingles stuff.
