Me too. You are not alone.

Thank you Dr Karvelas and Dr Joves for making this video! I appreciate hearing all the information and timelines. I'm not out of the woods, yet, but what seems to have helped me the most are the Lidoderm patches you mentioned. I believe a key is starting the patches as soon as the scabs flake off. Also vitamins D3 and K2 that was on a video Dr Berg did on shingles seems to have helped a bit.

Thank you for bringing attention to this very important subject. I visited the ER on 10/4/23 and all my tests came back negative. I was in terrible pain and the ER doctor said it could be Shingles, but I had no rash. It took 8 days for the rash to appear and by then the pain was off the charts. I could not get in to see a doctor right away, so I saw a PA who prescribed Valtrex and 600 mg per day of Neurontin. No relief was in sight. I was up nights crying and pacing for weeks. When I finally spoke with the doctor, she put me on Prednisone. Even though it been 3 weeks since the rash had appeared, I feel the doctors and PA did all the right things. I still have intermittent pain and constant allodynia from PHN, along my waist to my back. The Neurontin was making me sleep all day and I had a hard time waking up. I went off of it gradually on my own because my former doctor told me to stay on it. I have since changed doctors and she put me on a small does of Nortriptyline. Again, it was not well-tolerated, so she told me it was okay to stop. I can function to a certain point, but I become fatigued with physical activity, stress, and prolonged concentration. Still, I feel lucky. I am on a PHN community called Stuff That Works and people are still suffering greatly after many years.

OMG, I had the pain before the breakout as well. The pain is horrendous! I started Gaba pentin and just finish the prednisone. Today was so painful that it just stops your world.I pray my journey will not include continued PHN once the rash clears.

More about the after effects of the pain from shingles virus needs to be explained to the public. The adds on TV and the doctor's are not giving the total after effects of this virus.

Thanks for sharing - lots of useful information and promising research. I have recently started with PHN, and its a concern that it can last so long. I hope mine clears up sooner, rather than later.

great info if i were a medical person - have had nerve pain from shingles I had over 3 years ago - where can i go to get info to get some releif

I have PHN now. This is a horribly painful condition. I am on a ton of medications. Have had three unsuccessful nerve blocks.

Three years for me. The meds made my life worse but everyone is different. Tried meds for three years and now I'm medication free. There are ways to mentally deal with certain levels of the pain but that doesn't mean it goes away, you can just learn to live with it. I couldn't learn to live with the medication and the pain.

So in Post Herpetic Neuralgia - the Zoster viral cells seem to have a long half-life (like radioactive materials like U-235 that have this half-life) which can cause the virus to be active and replicate nearly endlessly for up to 3 years after diagnosis. This pain is not your normal type of flank pain that comes from kidney stone problems. The pain of PHN itself can be very, very debilitating.

A question I had shingles in my knee but the 3 months now is it in the opposite side of the body near my waist. Is it possible?

My mom is 93. She’s been experiencing extreme PHN due to shingles for 3 months now. She’s taking 600 mg gabapentin 3 x’s per day. It does help with the pain somewhat

The earlier interventional spinal nerve block you mention, does that involve the trigeminal nerve, or for people with shingles on their upper regions such as neck or head? If not, is there a similar early interventional nerve block higher up the spine which replicates the success of the study you quote? Either way, I would be willing to take various nerve blocks asap because my preexisting, not awful trigeminal neuralgia was slammed into the pain and intractable itching stratosphere by getting a full blanketing of shingles, of course, in my neck, scalp and ear area, prime trigeminal nerve territory aggravated by some pinched nerves in the c2-c4 areas. So basically a tripling effect of 1. the pinched nerve, 2. preexisting trigeminal neuralgia amplified by 3. an incredibly severe case of ear, neck and head shingles with non stop zapping and scratch until you bleed pain. So far massive doses of pregabalin, carbomezapine, dilaudid, as well as lidocaine, cbd oil, even ketamine topicals have done nothing. A sub cutaneous nerve block was given in the upper c level spine, but nowhere near the nerve root. It helped a bit with the scratching the scalp to the bone bit, but didn't address the excruciating neck, ear and lower scalp pain that makes night time a sleepless nightmare. Still hoping for another block to address this area, but our major city has only one pain clinic that you have to wait 4 months to get into to get a pain block that takes 2 minutes to administer in an ER. I do keep 2 VERY graphic photos on my phone of my neck and ear and part of my face in full shingles lesions bloom, because when doctors are looking at you writhing in pain and your face, ear, and neck look pleasantly pink, post-lesion healing, and now appear barely touched by shingles, they need that jolt to see just HOW extensive and severe the shingles actually presented to appreciate the potential and likely severity of the current nerve damage. The irony is, that when I was in full grotesque lesions bloom a month ago for only a week, my pain was 1/100th of what it is now when my skin looks normal. I had no idea what lay ahead for me, and am now DESPERATELY trying to get the intervention I need before it's TOO late.

Use Pregabalin, dosage from 75mg to 150mg. It works. Tolerance is always a factor, up the dosage as medically recommended.

I have a question, I have had 5 outbreaks over 8 years on 4 different dermatomes. My ignorance during the outbreaks led me to scratch and massage where the pain was. T1 back was the worst and I massaged it a lot. 2 months after the last time the sores healed, the PHN started, now 3 months after the PHN started, the pain has slowly moved from the root to the shoulder blade. Did I cause this?

Use Pregabalin, dosage from 75mg to 150mg. It works. Tolerance is always a factor, up the dosage as medically recommended.

I'm 36 and currently getting over shingles. I was diagnosed the first week of October and the pain is just getting worse and worse even after the blisters have sabbed over and the scabs have fallen off, there's still pain. I was wondering if it normal for the pain to still be present at this stage of recovery. My doctor just tells me to use topical lidocaine and ibuprofen but it doesn't do much to take pain away. Any thoughts?

So it is hard I am 46, Covid in January 2021. Woke up end of May with horrible pain in back wrapping around my to my abdomen. After 6 CTs, 5 ultrasounds, 3 MRIs, 1 transvaginal ultrasound, I think 12 X-rays, 1 HIDA scan, 1 small bowel follow through, and colonoscopy. Oh no an upper GI. Over 11 months my ortho doc finally landed in this. Next week cortisone in T7-T9 (well between) I am hopeful. Still no one will give me he vaccine.

Also it started in May I never had a n eruption of blisters or any skin irritations. The pain is positional, but also like a constant “stitch” at ALL TIMES! then 6 weeks late in July I developed the typical burning pain but in the opposite side and on the front with a very small eruption. But it was shingles. Lasted about 3 weeks then gone.
