Hi David. Please let us know if and how it works when you get it. To me it's worth a try. Everyone of us is different so it's hard to know. I wish I could share the cabinet full of things I have purchased over the years that don't work for me. But then again I have things that work for me and not for others. I just keep trying.:)

They've since run out, but I pre-ordered a tube from their site:

Ted's Pain Cream – Ted's Brain Science

I think it's worth a try. It looks like it could do some good, so I thought I'd share it.

I only just saw this, as I don't come on here as often as I used to. I hope you have your cream already and that it has helped. But perhaps you don't have it yet. I write them recently to ask about the back order, and they said it would like arrive and be shipped out sooner, likely by the end of this month or early December. I look forward to trying it.

Is there a section somewhere for PHN? I did a search and didn't find anything. Ironically, some research shows changes in the brain when PHN is present (sorry, nerve damage after shingles which may or may not improve--Post Herpetic Neuralgia). I actually spoke to David Hitt, the CFO of "Ted's", and asked if they've had success with treating PHN or neuropathies such as after chemo or for diabetics. He said as he wasn't a researcher, just the money guy he didn't know. But then he remembered his grandfather had shingles and yes, the cream did help.

I was impressed with him and really enjoying speaking to him. I'm hoping it does work, as I said in my other post, I've used it for 3 days 3X/day and feel there is some relief. I am HIGHLY skeptical of any claims to help PHN, as most docs admit there's not much they can do, but give Gab or other similar drugs, tell you to avoid aggravating and try and be positive.

Good luck to all of you.

Hi Pinky,

I'll definitely post on here once I've tried it. I should have it sometime in December. It's a shame they ran out and there's such a long wait. But I should know soon.

I'm still getting great relief from a much cheaper cream, which is about a third of the price. It's the Now vitamin D3 cream that I've posted about here, and that other have used with great results. I use that daily, about a tube a week, sometimes more. It's about $6-7 for a 4 oz tube. It's a general therapeutic cream and not at all just a vitamin D cream. In fact, vitamin D is only one of the vitamins in it.

You can buy it on Amazon, but the cheapest price I've found so far is here: Now Foods Vitamin D-3 Cream - 4 fl oz - eVitamins.com.

P.S. I'd love to share all the things I bought but didn't react well with me, but sending open and used supplements is probably not ideal, even though it would reduce waste. ;)
