    24 yrs old: Enrolled at the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (now Sonoran University of Health Sciences) after discovering my passion for naturopathic medicine.

    I got shingles when I was 16. I'm now 31, and have been suffering from postherpetic neuralgia ever since. I recently started using topical capsaicin creme, and it's working wonders so far. So much relief after all of these years. Finally!

    Doctor Drew I forgot to tell you I'm a 62 yrs. old woman that December 15, 2023 I had been sick for 6 days when I went to Urgent care they diagnosed me with Covid they gave me antibiotics and just as I thought Covid was going away I got a very bad case of Shingles on the whole left side of the skull on my head, ear and my jaw and nick on left side. January 5, 2024 I finally found a doctor that did help me but its been 3 months 25 days and I still have amazing pain. Doctor when I had the Covid pain was so bad I wished for death many times even said goodbye to our children and my sisters that's how bad it was but I'm still having lots of pain I don't understand That's why I wondered if it had something to do with the nerves.

    My dad is having terrible nerve pain from his shingles. It starts in his shoulder and shoots to his head, then his eye, then his jaw. He’s been to a neurologist and they didn’t do anything for him. He’s taking Gabapentin but it’s not helping. He gets pain attacks every hour to an hour and a half. There horrible. He can’t sleep. He yells and screams and can’t control it. It last about 3-6 minutes each attack. He hasn’t slept. We’ve been searching for answers and help and no drs seem to take him seriously

      I got Shingles in 2007, on my head. 2024- the pain has never gone away. I developed fibromyalgia, have tried every medication for it- only to develop side effects and had horrible effects getting off the meds. Peripheral Neuropathy - I wish you the best. The only relief I got was trigger point injections. I was so happy to have needles stuck in my head and neck. That nerve starts throbbing when I get stressed. They can also 'kill' that nerve. Its a journey to find what works for you.

    11 plus years ago they had the shingles on my left bun. Since then I've had no feeling or tingling or numbing just absolutely no feeling in my left leg from ito's to my butt. So just all of a sudden I'm about a week ago I've got this tremendous pain in the top of my thigh in the front and my hip and it won't go away if feels like a charley horse * 100
    So my question is Woody chiropractor be able to help that or should I just keep massaging it till it goes away?

      I had shingles on my face too. Started at my nostril. Two years lasted and the nerve pain is still there, comes and goes. When it comes on it last about three weeks and subsides for about the same. I tried a nerve block a few times without luck. I had the bunny lines treated with Botox and that has managed to give me relief in the surrounding area, of course it’s temporary but still quite happy about eliminating some of the problem. I held an ice pack on the area to numb it before the Botox injection and that worked very well plus the nurse was quick. A dental block works too but that isn’t practical.

      I developed trigeminal neuralgia because of shingles being on my face, definitely see a neurologist I was put on anti-seizure medication that helped. I also ended up relocating to a warmer climate after two years, the pain was debilitating but between those two things its become bearable, enough so that I can laugh and smile without worry.

    I live in Vancouver BC I'm a 71 year old woman that had shingles on Oct. 16 with pain in my shoulder I got misdiagnosed with rotator cuff injust, by the time the water blisters showed up, the doctor prescribed an antiviral, but I'm left with PHN all the way down my left arm and my thumb has no feeling. There is a constant burning in the thumb joint. I have to take Gabapentin to sleep. I'm taking supplements that are supposed to heal nerve damage. I'm looking into seeing a neurologist in Vancouver. I was wondering if you are aware of any good neurological surgeons in Vancouver? I have to stop this pain asap. There is Dr. Aguila in Nebraska at the Total Pain Solutions clinic who specializes in surgery for PHN. I would fly there if I have to.
