Am interested to find out if anyone out there is suffering with post herpetic neuralgia? If so, what medications work for you, or not... And how long have you been coping with it? Anything and everythign you wish to share.

I just joined this forum and I hope you have found relief for your phn by now. Just wanted to note that my mother-in-law finally found relief after seeing a neurologist. He prescribed loritab for the pain, not the darvocet she had been using for the 8 weeks prior with no real relief. He also gave her an rx for neurontin to help heal the nerves. By the next day she was pain free for the first time in many weeks.

Hope this helps!
