I'm back! More shingles questions. I read everyone's here and the answers have helped. I have the nerve pain from my facial shingles, that goes down my neck and shoulder. Burns badly. My internist changed my medicine from Neurontin to Lyrica today. Also, I have a stronger creme, Capsaizin (not the over the counter one, a stronger one). I just put it on, so we'll see. Anyone have experience with Lyrica as opposed to Neurontin? I am getting better, but now the real nerve type pain.

Lyrica is quite good. Both drugs share a similar mechanism of action but it is more potent than Neurontin so it achieves efficacy at lower doses.Thanks that you are getting better and hope to keep you getting better.

I had Shingles for the first time a few weeks ago. I am normally in good health and haven't had any other health challenges before, so it came as a surprise.
Shingles is probably the most painful thing I have ever encountered. I went to the doctor, and he gave me some prescription drugs to take that was suposed to help, but didn't.
My wife found the Fast Shingles Cure ebook online and bought it for me, I am very lucky to have such a wonderful woman in my life. We followed the book, did what it said, and it delivered what it promised. Finally my Shingles rash is over... I feel truly blessed and thankful.
