Shingrix and peripheral neuropathy

I thought this was interesting and wanted to share.
My husband contracted Shingles last year. It was extremely painful. It affected his upper back. Ironically while the shingles virus was active the nerve pain in his feet completely stopped. He mentioned it to his primary doc who replied “hmm”
On another note, after waiting two months to get an appointment with a neuro doc here in Winter Haven Fl, May2nd, he got a call yesterday stating the doc had to cancel so he is now scheduled for August 9th. So frustrating….

Saw my new psychiatrist Dr today and I believe she is going to solve some of my concerns. Next step PT. One day at a time. When can I stop all the things that I did in the past? Been though a lot of trauma in my life. No support system do I have. Just trying to hold on. Thxs for listening.
We are experiencing the same frustration in my state. Most of the doctors who specialize in areas such as neuropathy, etc. have a waiting list of 6-12 months. I am on a waiting list to see a skin doctor and may not get to see her for 9 months to a year. Never have I experienced this. Does anyone know what is going on?

Dw9050: the one inexpensive over the counter supplement that has helped a lot is Benfotiamine. I take 300mg twice a day but started with 150mg twice a day. When I mentioned it to my doctor after it worked (I found it online), he said “yes, Benfotiamine seems to work for a lot of people.” So many frustrating doctors out there. I can’t guarantee anything but it may be worth a try for about $10.

That is something I need to do. Other than that I still have burning feeling all over my body. Plus my skin is very dry mouth too the sweating is unbelievable but I don't have a fever. Don't want to go out because of the sweating problems. Feeling so dirty. With the eyes condition B something excuse me I can't spell it my body hurts and little grains of dry sand falls all over my body, pimples on my face don't like that. Still my PCP doesn't have a clue how to treat me.
