Shingles and Postherpetic Neuralgia: What helps with Pain?
Brain & Nervous System | Last Active: Aug 31, 2025 | Replies (198)Comment receiving replies
Jerid, I had shingles on the left side of my face in October 2019. The left side of my face including my eye and scalp are still tingling and numb. The last couple of days I have had a cob web feeling running across my cheek and chin only occasionally. I haven't had pain thank goodness but it is so aggravating. Is there anything that they can do for this? I'm thinking about making an appointment pretty soon.

I have also found that Phentermine 30 mg works great for relieving ALL of the pain, but good luck getting a physician to prescribe it for you. I told my physician about how it helps me, but he will not give me another prescription for it. I understand why, but I wish he could come up with another answer after my swimming for the summer is all over. My red light laser works well, but this prescription is amazing. Oh well, what is life with out some suffering. HAPPY!
