My uncle had shingles really bad while going through treatment for cancer. He said acupuncture worked for him even when morphine did not.

Acupuncture, yes, and when my husband had shingles, he experimented on himself at his clinic and made some kind of an aspirin paste and ran ultrasound over it. It lasted for about 4 hrs, but hey, 4 hrs of relief a day is better than nothing. I don't know who you could find to do that ... maybe a friend who could do it as a favor because I don't know what's covered under ins.
