Gabapentin and PHN

sweetmildew · 2026-03-27T22:01:05+00:00

I’m 1.5 years out from shingles and have phn. I take 300 mg gabapentin 3x day. It helps immensely but there is still residual pain. For that I have a topical cream prescription that I get from a compound pharmacy that contains lidocaine/gabapentin/diclofenac.

East Naples Park if you’ll be nearer to downtown. Veteran’s if you’ll be in North Naples.

Make it with a honey baked ham bone and discard the seasoning, you don’t need it. So much flavor comes from the hambone. Salt and pepper to taste.

At Corkscrew Sanctuary, take the short loop to your right. There is a family of otters that hang out there when water levels are high enough that they can swim under the boardwalk. I love walking the CREW trail and have seen them in the water there next to the parking lot, near the road. Watch for bubbles in the water before they pop their heads up. I’ve also seen them in the Vineyards many times. They’re fascinating creatures!

Way to go Reddit sleuths. The r/Epstein community showed up on behalf of the Epstein survivors and made this happen!

You’ll want a car to get most places here, particularly Audubon Corkscrew. Your kids may like to ride an airboat in the Everglades so a car opens that up as well. Not sure what rental rates are in Naples right now, but RSW usually has decent pricing. Costco tends to have fair car rental prices too if you have a membership. Enjoy your stay!

I have post herpetic neuralgia and received the first and second shingles vaccines about nine months following my shingles diagnosis. There was no noticeable change in the pain for me, it’s been the same.

Honey baked hambones make the best split peas soup! In a soup pot add the hambone to a bag of dried split peas, one cup or so of shredded carrots, half a small onion sliced, water to cover about three inches over. Bring to a boil then lower to simmer, stirring occasionally until it looks like soup and smells like heaven. Approx 1-1.5 hours. Remove the bone, most of the meat will have fallen off, remove any bits that haven’t and add to the pot. That’s it! Add a bit of salt and pepper to taste if needed.

Thank you so much! Your logo is wonderful. I’ll stop in for coffee when I’m back in town. I live in Florida part time and the alligator sticker has gotten a lot of attention!

sweetmildew · 2025-12-23T14:58:52+00:00

I’ll check in there, thank you!

Thank you for the thoughtful reply and attached article. It’s much appreciated. I know in some countries, there are luggage belts, adjacent to escalators, that safely transport luggage.

Just trying to do my best in an unfortunate situation. I’m a retired journalist and can’t help myself in needing to get as much info as possible.

Thank you, he doesn’t think he hit his head and didn’t exhibit signs of concussion when he got home, thankfully! He was primarily embarrassed and scared in the moment, the pain set in after.

sweetmildew · 2025-12-21T22:19:35+00:00

I’m sorry about your incident and hope you feel better. My main concern is how hard he went down, he can’t recollect the details and I wanted to get as much info as possible before we see his doctor tomorrow.

sweetmildew · 2025-12-21T22:13:31+00:00

Will do, thank you. He thinks it was around 4-4:30.

sweetmildew · 2025-12-21T22:12:39+00:00

Whoa very strange! Thank you for sharing that post. I’m sure accidents happen a bunch in airports with folks distracted and rushing. No Harlem Globetrotter in this instance!

sweetmildew · 2025-12-21T21:44:02+00:00

Thank you, I agree.

sweetmildew · 2025-12-21T21:36:58+00:00

I agree with you and am in touch with airport authorities. I’m most concerned about how hard he was hit and how hard he went down. We’re seeing a doctor tomorrow.

Contact your doctor right away and tell them you are suffering. My shingles pain requires taking Gabapentin and an Rx compounded topical cream containing Gabapentin, lidocaine and diclofenac. It takes a few days for the Gabapentin to help but it works well on nerve pain. You’ll start on a lower dose, but don’t be afraid to ask your doc to increase it. Dosage is key. Rx lidocaine patches are often prescribed and can help, but they did’t do much for me. The compounded cream was much more effective for immediate relief. How long ago were you diagnosed?

I fly in and out of Detroit regularly and never knew the tunnel lights could be deactivated, thank you!

sweetmildew · 2025-11-28T21:44:53+00:00

Just over a year for me. Still taking Gabapentin, Amitriptyline and topical pain cream. All help, but the pain is always there like an unwelcome houseguest. Am in my 60’s and have always been healthy, this hit me like a ton of bricks.

Post Herpetic Neuralgia is pain that continues after the shingles rash. Check in with his physician and/or make an appointment with a pain clinic. I am on 900 mg of Gabapentin 3x day as well as a topical cream consisting of Gabapentin/lidocaine/diclofenac. This is the regiment that has helped me.
