Hi Jennyfer,
What an awful ordeal you have gone through! I'm so sorry to hear that. Do you have a primary care doctor that you could go to? Someone needs to get this situation straightened out for you. I'm 79 and had shingles a few months ago but I had no pain so I'm not sure if this diagnosis was correct. However I did have a lot of little sores on my face. My doctor prescribed Acyclovir 800 mg. which worked great! The sores on my face went away. I don't know if it would help get rid of pain since I didn't have any.

Another thing that always helps me is prayer. God is there for us. He made you and he can fix you! Just put everything in God's hands and it will work out fine. I'll say a prayer for you also.
I wish you the best.
