I was diagnosed with shingles about 5 wks ago, i had the antibody test and
it came back very high.. 3:88. he said the high normal was 0:09.
Anyway i have done the antiviril meds. and have taken Loracet for the
pain. by the way (I never broke out in the rash like most people) the doc.
said that some people with lupus don't have a strong enough immune system
to bring the blisters to the surface. anyway i was wondering if anyone that had been through this would have any suggestions on what to do for the
Pain. or what helped you when nothing else would. I see the Doc. again
on Friday, and i'm not sure if he will have any more suggestions. I think it
is just nerve pain now and it feels like it will last forever. Someone said
they used new new drug Lyrica, but I think it is very costly. I forgot to say
that the pain is from my sturnum around to my spine on the right side.
Any help would be appreciated....
