I found this board while searching the net for anything - something that can help with the pain I have from a recent episode of shingles...
I guess it hasn't been that long - I'm on week 4 now. I had a very bad outbreak on the back of my head.. around my neck and partially down my chest. I had no pain with the blisters or the scabbing - it now looks really good but I can't take the pain. I have been using cold compresses for some relief - I'm on Vicodin and today got some Lyrica - something has to help.... thanks for listening - Teri |

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.

Hello Teri, and welcome to NeuroTalk! This is such a great place with lots of friendly, caring, and very helpful people. We're so glad you found us! I've never experienced shingles, but I can certainly sympathize with you. My mom had it, and she explained to me what the pain was like. I hope you can get it taken care of quickly!
