Hi there
Just wanted to know if any of you had any experience with shingles in pregnancy. I'm 31wks pg, was diagnosed with shingles early this week. I'm now on anti viral medication. The thing is I'm in constant excruciating pain. I took panadol which didn't help. Then I started taking panadeine which helps in a way but at night when the pain is so bad, it doesn't seem to help much. Sometimes the pain is so bad I feel numb. I tried to restrain myself from taking any painkiller as long as I could but the pain was just too much to bear. I have been on panadeine for about 2 days now. Just wondering if anyone out there have had to take panadeine or other pain killer for more than two days? I'm a bit concerned about taking any painkiller for more than a few days.
