Hi Wish,
I've gotten shingles twice. Both times the pain was intense. felt like I'd been hit with a baseball bat over and over again. My rash was limited to a small cluster of blisters the first time, and only a half dozen blisters the second time.I'm SO sorry you're going through this. It REALLY sucks big time. Which steroid creams have you tried? My husband has a whole assortment for his "itchy leg". they all work really well for me. I had sunburn and about 10 mosquito bites on the back of my hand during my recent vacation and ended up VERY happy that I had brought the itchy cream with me.
fluticasone? I don't remember the other one meta something. I'll look it up later.
apply cool compresses, and distract yourself (whining is okay too)
best,
Ll
