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.

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.

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.
