Hi Cheri, my name is Randy. Saw your post and had a question on the Lysine you were taking. I too have gone through a pretty bad bout of shingles, left side of face, ear, below cheekbone toward collarbone, out to left rotator cuff, and shoulder blade. Hurt Hurt Hurt, now I'm going through the nerve pain. What dose of the Lysine were you taking, thanks Randy.
