Hi, and welcome to the community! Here is a link to our chronic pain forum:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum10.html
and the one that's more specific to shingles:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum91.html
You'll find lots of support here...we have some social forums, too, so jump in anywhere! I'm don't know much about shingles, so I can't help you myself, but someone will be along who can.
