Suggest Treatment For Pain In A Person Suffering From Shingles Infection
my husband has had a very bad case of shingles for about a month. he has been using gabibenton (not sure how to spell it) and doesn t seem to help with the pain he is experiencing, what should he do? the medicine has made him very spacey and can t think straight.we live in memphis and he needs help
In this case you may need to readjust doses of Gabapentin. Until maximum dose if you still do not feel better you may need to use another group of medicine for nerve pain after shingle effect.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
