Guest guest Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Dear , I suffered with the shingles about two years ago. I has shoulder pain for about 2-3 months. Onoc checked everything from my heart to arthritis and could find nothing. They thought it was my anxiety or just a figment of my imagination. I woke up one morning with the rash called my onoc and told him I had shingles. He immmediately put me on antivirus medication. All the pain was really before I broke out. During the duration of medication the onoc checked my blood levels every two days. Even after rash was gone the area was very senisitive. It was not a fun thing to go through but there are worse things in this world. Good luck. The antivirus med really helped shorten the duration of the shingles, but I believe it has to be given within 24-48 hours of the breakout. Best of luck, it will go away.
