My Mother also had shingles. In fact, she has had it several times, and now, also has PHN. Her doctor has her on neurontin and an anti-viral that she'll take for the rest of her life, but she has had...
I'm absolutely speechless and scared! This reminds me of when I was a little girl and had the surgeries I had ( bilateral muscle transfers in my hips). They wouldn't give me anything stronger than...
