Complainer

I need to complain. The shingles have not gone away. I don't have to take Vicodin for the pain, it isn't that bad any more, but if I don't have a constant dose of Aleve or Advil in my system during the day starting at, like, 5 AM to take over for the Gabapentin, it hurts like... kind of like a cross between a jellyfish sting and a deep burn.  It's been 7 1/2 weeks now.  I keep slacking off on the NSAID's thinking it'll be gone, but it isn't.   [EXPLETIVES DELETED]
