Well, the antiviral drugs do work. We had a person here way back in the early 2000 on our old board with severe pain in the back/chest. She finally had testing and got Famvir for it, and it cleared the pain for her.
So if you have been tested and show high zoster titres I think trying the antiviral may give you some pain relief. Zovirax, Famvir or Valtrex are the typical antivirals used. Otherwise all you have is high dose l-lysine.
