Ive been dealing with an ongoing ahingles outbreak for over a year could it be something else?

Doesn't make sense: Shingles should NOT be affecting you for such a long time - this suggests the wrong diagnosis or a very difficult case. I would suggest seeing an Infectious Diseases specialist who could help sort this out. Sometimes there is something called 'post-herpetic neuralgia' that occurs as a complication of shingles- so a neurologist evaluation may also be needed if your Primary or the ID doc can't help.
