I have a question for all of those in the Shingles discussion. I've been taking Gabapentin for several weeks now and it certainly does help with the nerve pain related to Shingles. I would certainly like to decrease the dose (or stop altogether) because of some of the side effects which include balance problems. Has anyone tried a Tens unit for Shingles pain? If so, what was your opinion?

I don't want to discourage you as tens units do help people. For me with PHN. It was just another item to buy with many others. It did not help.
