Ok well I am having so many issues right now, I really don't know where to post. Everything started on May 9th when my life was turned upside down. One of my bestfriends commited suicide. I found out at 8:00 am and by 5 - 5:30 I had what my doctor called a tension migraine. (The only times I have ever had a headache is if I waited to long to eat... those are not even close to this pain) I have continued to have migraines daily. They have gotten to the point where I can not stand up with out having a 10 - 20 second bad migraine. It has also affected my muscles all the way down my spine, it makes it painfull to walk, sneeze, and now I can't bend over. My eyes are swollen every morning when I wake up. I finally went to the doctor on 17th because I noticed shingles on the right side of my back. (this is the 4th time I have had shingles) She gave me sleeping pills and Valtrex. (for the shingles) I have been taking the Valtrex since the 17th. I awoke this morning with a new patch of shingles under my right breast. All of this would not bother me so much but I am having surgery on my hand on 5/25. I have been waiting to have it for 1 1/2 months. The company I work for is changing their insurance effective 6/1/07.

I would like to know:

If my doctor should have prescibed me anything for the migraines and the pain it has cause my back.

If I have been on meds for the shingles why did I get more??

Is it ok to have shingles so many times?

Am I supposed to have such bad pain when I stand or walk?

Will they cancel my upcoming surgery?

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me. Sorry it was so long.
