Hello @donnamcd

I'm really sorry to hear of your continued Shingles pain. I had Shingles almost 2 years ago and will have a return of the pain periodically.

In order to connect you with others who have similar problems I hope you can explain a bit more about the type of pain, you are experiencing. Is the rash what is painful (in other words, has the rash not disappeared yet) or is it the nerve pain that you are experiencing (known as neuralgia).

If you don't mind sharing more what type of meds have you been given? Has it been pain meds, Gabapentin, anti-viral meds, etc.?
