Re: The doctor said I have shingles..

He didn't give you any medicine for the pain? I had the rash and pain, got a shot and it helped some. But is was the worst pain I have ever had. You are in my prayers.

Re: The doctor said I have shingles..

Sis Alvear, there are antivirals that help reduce the time and pain of the shingles. It may be that where you are at doesn't have them. I'm so sorry that you got them.

I never heard of shingles without the rash, but it's possible.

Don't know if this bit of info will help but here it is for reading.

Re: The doctor said I have shingles..

Get a prescription for acyclovir. It is best started within 48 hours of onset but it will shorten the course of shingles even now. Pain meds and/or a med called Neurontin which helps with nerve pain, rest, confort measures... that's pretty much it.

So sorry you are hurting.
