Sherry,

Vent all you want, we will listen.
I believe you should take the pain pills regularly, as some of the others mentioned, to control the pain all the time. I had shingles last fall, five days after my dx, and I can really empathize with you on the pain. I still have residual numbness around my mouth occasionally.
I hope tomorrow finds you feeling better, both physically and emotionally.

All the best
Caya
