Shingles pain and itching HELP pls
Posted , 39 users are following.
my shingles blisters and rashes have fallen off and skin that was left raw and open is healing BUT the pain and itching has worsened and intensified. The prickling pain and twitching feeling is so intense and irritating I've given into itching. Does anyone know of anything I can do....the other day I was awake till 5am. It felt mild wen I had the blisters but now I'm so uncomfortable. The doc give me amithriptyline and that helped with pain in my throat , ear and and head but does nothing for skin. I'm so confused...has anyone else experienced this. Please share ur recovery stories with me and if there's anything u found soothing I'd be grateful to hear from you.
This is such a terrible illness....I think there should be (optional) vaccination for everyone from childhood....it's so bad that's why I'm thinking along these lines....losing my mind. My shingles started two weeks ago and I have completed the course of acyclovir.
Hope we to hear from anyone who has suffered from shingles and or Post shingles pain
many thanks

HI Jubs
i also have shingles and i have been trying to find help also
My doctor just suggested having a nerve block done. I am going to see my pain management doctor in a couple weeks. I can let you know what he says. This is almost unbareable at times and would do that in a heartbeat
would live to hear from anybody with any good suggestions
God bless you all

In January, I had viral laryngitis from an outbreak in the office. Six months later I developed shingles and after some research, learned that viral laryngitis can develop into shingles. I was lucky, I was just starting to break out after having a painful scalp, forehead and temple, and the doctor recognized it as shingles and prescribed antivirals. Two unorthodox things have helped, Zantac for swelling and Equate Severe Allergy Plus Sinus Headache for pain.
