Today is my three year anniversary from the date I got Shingles. My hip, knee and abdominal muscles on my right side are still fucked up from the nerve damage it caused.

I'm finally, as of about a month ago, down to a one 75mg pill a day of my nerve pain medication, after a high of 300mg a day for a long time.

Go get your shingles shot if you're eligible (ie 50+ or immunocompromised) and have had the chicken pox. Do it.

@casseagull I'm at it right now, four months in. There are a few palliatives I learnt of.
Besides the diazepines, acetyl-L-carnitine works for pain relief, but it has to be medicine grade one: the gym supplements don't contain even the minimum dose promised. They're scam.
B12 vitamin is the only thing to actually cure. It has to be *massive*, daily intake is usually 2.5 micrograms, but in this case we need at least 1000 (yes, 400x). I'm starting getting *slightly* better with 3000. Ask your MD
