That makes sense. It's been a little over three weeks since the rash first appeared. The rash is almost gone now but the nerve pain is still there but that's getting better too. I was worried cause I've heard of one local person that dealt with it for three years! Doc put me on three weeks of Acyclovir 800mg taken five times daily. I haven't had to take any Ibuprofen for the last couple days so maybe I'm over the hump. Wish I had listened to the Terry Bradshaw commercial and taken the vaccination, lol.
