I had shingles several yrs ago and now have light flair ups when I get to stressed, Thank god the flair ups are short termned and a lot less painful.
I do not remember the name of meds I was on but remember they were made for the treatment of aids, were very new and cost $50. a pill but with my insurance I got them for $10.apiece seems like I had to take 15 pills or there abouts. I was already on pain meds for other problems but the pain was horrible. I remember I was with my sister in her RV and she asked what she could do I told her she could go somewhere because rvery time she walked across the floor it made me hurt worse.
