I have shingles since the first sting under left arm Sept 25th thought I got a bug bite the next day there was no bite just terrible itching in about a week the rash started still not much pain just itching the second week pain near the rash it progressed all the way around my chest to mid back felt like a vise is holding me clamping down from front thru to back. unbearable at times my doc said it was shingles I already knew had it small patch on right shoulder when i was a teenager.
Took neurotin and antiviral full dose quit the neurontin it made me so dizzy couldn't walk went to another doc she gave me percocet helps me sleep and get thru the day it is now 5 weeks still have pain it is constant but aleve helps it now
my doc said it is post pain and could last two months or off and on rest of your life. I'm a retired RN in all the yrs i worked never heard of anyone having it that long it will go away but when is the secret.I will for sure get the vaccine when I'm healed.
