You have all my sympathy, I remember my bouts with it and I had two young children at the time and it was on my right hand

I too could follow the nerve path - - right up my right arm, big red streak. Hopefully the meds will shorten the length of the wretched thing. And yep, chickenpox, same virus, as they say unlike love herpes (and by extension chickenpox) is forever

Are you still taking the Neurontin? I was put on it for referred nerve pain from a damaged disc (L5) and it made me hyper and gave me insomnia so I had to quit. It's supposed to make a person sleepy!
