The tagamet is not familiar. Glad it is receding; guess it's done. The neurontin, how long for some relief? I wouldn't worry too much about flare-ups, unless you notice a shortening length between occurances. My MIL really only had the one big presentation on a sensitive neural pathway. Every so often, in certain weather, like a cold wind, she can feel the shadow of the pathway, but nothing a touch of voodoo can't handle. And you know preventive measures....
Good news that Phillipa says the vaccine can help.
I wonder what my MIL did waiting for neurontin to kick in. I'll ask. Hydrocodine doesn't quite cut it for that type of pain.
Glad you've got your voodoo working. Or your mojo.
> Yeah, it started a week ago and already I am starting to feel better. The pain is almost gone. I wonder if the Tagamet / cimetadine shortened the duration? Sometimes it lasts a month. I only had 3 little sores and it was quite painful. It would be terrible if it flared up.
