Severe Post Shingles Without A Rash Nerve Damage In Legs, Feet, Arms And Back. Anything To Heal ?
I have severe post shingles without a rash nerve damage in legs, feet, arms. back. It is burning and shocking all the time I would cut my throat if gabbapentin didn't dull the pain. Is there anything I can do to try to heal the nerves. It has been hurting for almost one year. I do not need an oncologist. My leukemia cannot be treated. I am dying from fibrosis. I need a specialist to help me with my post shingles nerve pain, not an oncologist, there is no treatment for my leukemia. I am dying
