Hi Guys,
I have phn,but the shingles hit the t nerve. Hence, my scalp is a mess. Do I have tn too or is it all related.?
Also very important. I have not cut my hair in 4 months. I cannot bear the pain. Even when I shampoo it like once every three weeks, I am I agony.
What do people do about getting their hair cut. Please I need to get advice.
Thanks everyone.

i went for two yrs without hair cuts etc you can only do what you can do and i didn't care what i looked like because you just have to deal with what you can.
blessings for things to calm down soon. what helped me the most was when i got on a combo of three meds. ant convulsant, narcotic and beta blocker then i still had to and anti inflammatory when needed.
keep working with your dr's on medication

Tell me more about the beta blocker and anti-inflammatory and narcoctic. Are you still in pain? How much pain.
I take 2400 Neurontin; 200 Tegretol, and 90 Cymbalta. Then Ambien to go to sleep.
Did you finally get hair cut--I am dreading it.
Thanks.
