Hi Anna B
I came down with Shingles in Jan 2024. on the left side of my scalp in my hair.
For more than 1 year I was taking Lyryca 75m one morning one night.
3 month ago I decided only one at night, but it did not work as I woke up scratching my scalp.
Then my GP described Lyrica 25mg one morning one night,
As from Yesterday I am taking one Lyrica at night at 9pm. I just hope it helps ,
by the way Im 85 years young.

@jennyfer
Appreciate your response. I will ask my doctor about using Lyrica for my “brand “ of shingles on my lower torso left side of spine. i’m not familiar with Lyrica. Is it for a pain reduction?
Thank you again, for your kind response! I too am a octogenarian.
