IMHO- right now I'd have to say shingles. Have had 'em...I've got 'em again....OWWWWWW! 
My hubby keeps mentioning that he's heard of people having to walk around naked because the clothes hurt so bad. I believe him, but I think he's just trying to get me nekkid.

Poor Nani - You absolutely don't deserve this!!!!
My husband and daughter have both had them and responded well to the med mentioned above. Unfortunately, they also needed major narcs for a few days, which, as all we clusterheads know, isn't always good for our heads.
Hope you're better soon, my friend. Sending hugs your way!

Thank you all so much. 
I think I'm going to skip the meds...(the rebounds from indomethacin nearly did me in).... and tough it out.
I think what I need is an industrial size stress extractor...or a gun.

Valtrex? What is it and what are the side effects (or a site where I can read up on it). My ex had them several years ago and is still in pain. He takes 900mg of Neurotin a day and I'd love for him to get off that stuff.
We've even tried capsasin on the skin (doctor's idea) but it didn't help much. He's in constant pain along with everything else that's wrong with him.
Thanks for any help....
Hugs BD

Several years back I developed them on my forehead !!!! At first doc thought it was some sort of hives or allergy.....my forehead swelled up like Frankenstien and developed a huge scab......thus the 'someone hit me with a hatchet scar' I now am stuck with. It's actually herpes virus.....if you've had chicken pox ya never really kill it....virus lies dormant in nerve trunks. May never arise.....but immune system has alot to do with it.....stress knocks it down a few levels and the shit can make it's move. Scab is from the deep nerve root on the bone to the surface.....that is a serious scab !!! Serious pain as if someone 'threw a hatchet' at ya and it stuck and left ta heal that way. Perc's are what they usually prescribe. Some people have had serious nerve damage with them on there face tho like I had with paralysis (spellin....duh) which I didn't have luckily.....some I've heard of ended up lookin like a stroke victum. Thing is they take a long ass time to heal cuz of how deep the scabs are. I had a pretty big area involved.....it was so bad it grossed me out. Where's yours at.....good luck to ya. Scar face Pam

I've had them on my back before. You know where the spread around to under your arm. This time it's on my neck and shoulder. They're not even broken out yet, just dry bumps and they already hurt like hell. Of course it's where collars rub against it. Tomorrow's gonna be a real hoot.

Barb...does your he take Neurontin for shingles or CH? I'm on it for CH, would be great if it treated shingles, too. I really don't want to do any painkillers if I can help it.

He takes it for the aftermath of shingles. He doesnt have CH.
It didn't help mine at all and I had some reactions to it.

Valtrex is an anti viral med also used for the treatment of genital herpes.
Shingles is the chicken pox virus which is also a herpes virus. Few side effects when you compare to some of the meds we take for our heads.
I had shingles all down my arms and hands and fingers. I was given the valtrex and Vioxx for the inflamation of the joints. I could barely move my arms at all they hurt so bad.
just my 2 cents

Sorry about the shingles Nani! 
I never had them, but my sister has...they seem VERY painful. I believe Valtrex was what they prescribed to her too.
Feel better soon!

I had them on my face too. I have scars like a small map of the Phillippines on my forehead. I had to see an ophthamologist because it caused a tiny lesion on my eyeball. But that was a few years ago, and luckily my eye was spared.
Hurts like hell too. Sorry to hear about it nani.
I was given Valtrex, Percocet and Prednisone for them.

Hi sis...I just PM'd you to check on your back! Yep- sciatica hurts like a mutha, too. The botox actually makes sense. When I had PT for a back injury once, they used electric shock to shock the muscle over and over until it just gave up and FINALLY relaxed. I still recommend Hypericum ( a homeopathic remedy) for nerve issues. Can't hurt...
My shingles are killin' me...but overall they are not as bad as I've had 'em in the past. I'm walking around like Quasimodo, trying to keep the clothes off of them. It's actually pretty comical in a pathetic sort of way. Not using any pain meds...yet. Haven't seen a doc for Valtrex, cuz my insurance doesn't kick in until Sat. I'm hanging in there though...Love to ya, nani
