One of the worst things I’ve ever been through, went through it when i was 39 and still can’t get the vaccine for it. I suggest it to anyone who is of age, I’ve been through over 40 surgeries with my disease and still feel that Shingles was the worst pain I’ve ever had.

Bad on my back at 30. I wish it on no one.

Thanks for all the input and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Saw my Dr yesterday and he said the Valtrex did its job with the rash but I have postherpetic neuralgia, which is the internal nerve inflammation post rash.

Not all people who get Shingles get this postherpetic neuralgia which can last for months after. He put me on a strong dose of Gabapentin and said that will releive most all of the pain until the inflammation subsides. This can be a few weeks to a few months. Hoping this Gabapentin works and gives me some relief the pain is unbearable at times. Takes a few days to fully kick in so hoping for the best.

Wife's 92 year old grandfather is recovering from shingles right now. It put him in the hospital.
He had it in his mouth, throat, sinuses, face and ear. Said it was the worst pain he's ever felt. This old dude is a tough SOB too.
Told my wife he was ready to jump in the ocean and just drown himself.
