Why are we hearing more and more people  having this medical problem!  Its great that we are all exchanging ideas, on ways to cope with this  unbearable pain.

My main question is  why are so many people suffering from shingles and the PHN pain?  I understand that its from the chicken pox virus, BUT WHY in 2016 are we  unable to find a cure for this mind blowing pain? and why are so many people in this day and age, getting  it, I was told that it attacks or lays in our bodies until we reach our 50s, our  systems are low .

I know that many of us,that use this site are from many countries, but I would love to hear from you all,on how you became a member of the  shingles/PHN world.

      I agree, Drs don't seem to know a lot about it, ridiculous in this day and age that there is really not much help  and  no cure!!
