Who am I? A fighter of daily chronic pain. As a complication of shingles, I developed postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). This means that even when I am not having an active shingles outbreak in an area, I still feel the pain and itching sensation. Sometimes it can be quite severe and can last for varying lengths of time. Some days are tough. I get angry, frustrated, and cry. I often ask myself, why me? I try to take a step back and reflect that in the grand scheme of life, this isn’t the end of me. There are people who are suffering from things a lot worse than what I’m dealing with. We all have our battles. Join me and keep fighting!
