Hello,
Thanks for your query on HCM
"As"per your clinical history is concerned please follow like this -
Do a physical exam by your treating Doctor and discuss [acyclovir, Capsaicin cream, lidocaine spray, codeine and oral corticosteroids]and for peripheral neuritis talk about [vitamin B 12 injection]three times per week.
To prevent postherpetic neuralgia discuss with your Doctor about shingles vaccine and this vaccine will reduce complications in the future.
Hope that helps
