Herpes Zoste
"Was feeling pain in my back under right shoulder blade for about a week. The pain meds I&#039;m on for chronic back pain didn&#039;t even help. Stepping into the shower I noticed a rash and knew what I had... Shingles at 53&mdash;and no stress in my life. Never had chickenpox either. 

Called doctor next morning and given script. Took first two doses day after rash/blisters appeared. Been on for 48 hours (eight doses) and rash hasn&#039;t spread, but itching and mild pain persist. I could not imagine the pain I&#039;d have had if I hadn&#039;t  been taking Norco, cymbalta, and robaxin already. Fingers crossed this continues to rapidly get better."
