What is shingles? It is just like pimples on the body but very painful severly. It is caused by herper zoster virus on nerves, so the pain is very severe. It is general to use analgesic to control pain, but the pain medication is not the treatment but the anesthetic to have the patient forget the symptom. Some people take this process for the treatment of their diseases. Ths internist waits for natural recovery during the analgesic is working on the body. If the patient has good condition to treat the shingles by himself(herself), he(she) will think that the medication prescribed by the internist had him(her) recover. If not, it takes for a long time to six months to recover and then the patient will be heard from the internist that the symptom will not disappear till so many months due to the pathology of original incurablity. Lots of people and even doctors think the pain medication is the treatment. The pain medication has its own meaning, but the misunderstanding it for tretrment sometimes brings about the worsened dieases.
