Anyone else dealing with shingles?

adltt123 I had the first shingles shot that came out about a few years ago, I never got
the two new shingles shot that came out. anyway, I am 82 I just finished up with the
shingles this week, and when it left me, all of a sudden my mouth started to burn and my
cheeks inside are swollen, right now I am using salt water to rinse in my mouth till I
go to the dentist Monday, I also wonder if this could be from radiation for my breast
cancer. but I finished that in Feb. Has anyone in this shingles group had this problem?
From your body to your mouth.

I had shingles many years ago, and I agree it is extremely painful, but I now have Trigeminal Neuralgia which is much more painful. The pain is in the left jaw bone and under my teeth on the left side. Before we found Pregabolin I could not open my mouth to eat or touch my face, or talk on the telephone. Pregabolin is one of the medications given for Shingles pain. Are these two problems related? Does your doctor recommend you receive the new Shingles Vaccine?

I just got over shingles. Was put on an antiviral immediately because am on an immunosuppressant. Had a very mild case. Only had the first shingles vaccine. So far no problem with my mouth. I do have a dry mouth due to the radiation I received to my head.
