If you have not ordered a copy of the shingles pack, you can order it here: https://herpes.org.uk/shop/shingles-and-post-herpetic-pack/
It contains:
  • Our introduction – which includes any ‘news’ on shingles and PHN including vaccines and any new treatments.
  • A leaflet called “What you need to know about shingles” explains what PHN is, and gives you an overview of the treatments available. 
  • Overview of what the GP can prescribe for you.
  • 5 page detailed "Guideline for GPs" written by an expert to give to your GP.
  • Suggestions from others for you to try.  We have not tested one against the other so cannot tell you which to try first.  Try something that appeals to you.
  • ‘Contacts’ gives you a list of patients like you, with PHN, who would like to hear from others.  Often talking or writing to someone else who knows what it feels like can be helpful.  Let me know if you would like to be added to the list (only done with your permission).
  • TENS machine: an explanation of how this could help deal with pain.
