Shingles pain

(1/3) > >>

Canadian_Family:
Hi,

I am recently recovering with shingles and like I say, on a scale of 1 to 10. Shingles pain is perhaps 10 at best. I am not able to sleep for two nights. I am on antiviral and pain medication. Doctors keep telling me that it will go away in few weeks. if anyone has experienced shingles before, I like to get some advice.

kindly,

Oh sorry to hear that and get well soon. I don't know whether I exactly had shingles but I had serious rashes and itching once when I infused IV desferal at max speed. Oh man, that was terrible, it was in winter and I took bath in ice cold water then put myself under AC and kept hovering ice all over the place. I would never let that happen again inshAllah.

Canadian_Family,

I am so sorry to hear.  I have heard that shingles can be terribly painful, my mother in law has been suffering from shingles related pain for a long time.  My understanding is that younger people recover faster.  My sister-in-law got shingles in her 30s, it lasted several weeks for her and she has not had any trouble since that time.  Sending healing vibes and prayers your way. Please keep us posted.

I hope you are feeling better Canadian Family.
