Geez Larry, hit by lightning -and- shingles? I hope you bought a lottery
ticket - the one-in-a-millions things seem to be finding you!
At 55, I can't wait for my first shingles. Count your blessings though
Larry - not everyone gets shingles on their torso. (You can get them
anywhere that nerves go... ;-)
Neurontin? Now I've heard of everything. I'll bet it's not helping much
and was expensive...
Hang in there Larry - It WILL go away. The antiviral med is to help prevent
the postherpetic neuralgia he mentioned.
