[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 621762, member: 1233"] FYI, shingles can come back MANY times. I know my gma fought it for YEARS. ANY cold, virus, or flu would activate it again. Almost any type of illness or cold would trigger another very painful bout of shingles for her. I know when she finally tried the lidocaine patches she cried because it was the first relief she had had in a couple of months. I had learned about the patches from helping a friend study for a pharmacology class and I insisted my mother ask gma's doctor about them. Rx'ing them was a 'no brainer' according to her doctor, he had just not thought of it and he apologized for not remembering to rx them for her. At that point all the patients at her retirement community started asking for htem, which I later learned and laughed about. The pharmacist the center was close to laughed about having to order several cases a month for the home when before they hadn't even used half a case. Use of the patches was found to have increased participation in exercise classes and outings to a substantial degree as many patients had pain relief with-o being loopy feeling or sleepy from pain medications. Always good, in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
