Can I still recover from shingles?
Tippi C asked:
I have just been diagnosed with shingles on my head, There aren’t very many blisters, just a few very painful one’s. I feel like I have needles stuck to my head. The pain also radiates from my head to my right shoulder. This has been going on for at least 5 yrs. I saw a doctor a few years ago and she thought I just had acne on my head and the pain on my shoulder is caused by stress. Just yesterday, I was diagnosed with shingles. Today, I started taking Famvir. I think I suffer from PHN since the pain never seems to go away and it’s been at least 5 yrs. Can Famvir still help with the pain?
