The Shingles Support Society provides advice and information on shingles and the neurogenic pain that sometimes follows, especially in the elderly. This post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) can be difficult to treat; and our 19-page information pack includes 6 pages written for the GP by a consultant neurologist and 2 pages of self-help advice from other sufferers. There is now a vaccine to prevent shingles which, from September 2013, will be offered to people who are 70 and 79 years old.
