What Is The Remedy For Pain Caused By Shingles?

I have been suffering with the after effects of a bad case of shingles now for the past six months. The pain never lets up and I have tried just about every pain killer known. I have heard that lyrica can substantially reduce the pain. Would you please comment on the treatment for my condition. Thank You for any assistance you can share. Sincerely Don Adams.
