FYI: Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox.I didn't get the Measles, I got the Mumps.
Sorry, I know a couple people that have shingles and I know it's painful.
I lies dormant in nerve cells forever.
Later in life when the immune system gets compromised, it will hurt really ******* bad.
I've heard that some people get relief by taking Gabapentin. But it does not start working right away. It takes 6-8 weeks.
When you are in severe pain 6-8 weeks is a long, long time.
