Hi @oliver22
I'm sorry to hear that you have had shingles (herpes zoster) and pain for over 5 months and that it is not responding to treatment. I changed the title of this discussion to be more specific -- IPF and shingles -- in the hopes that others will chime in if they have experiences shingles with IPF. @spicegirl @bergw2818 @tula @kturchin @loisblo @steve1948, any thoughts?

Oliver, Does your doctor think that the shingles is related to Esbriet? What medications have you taken for shingles?

no reason to think Shingles is related to meds. Gabapintin 300 mg a common med for it. also, Nortriptylin 10mg. none last month except Lydocaine pads for pain.
