A member asked:
Is it normal for a person having shingles to feel tolerable pain on its 3rd day? in what day should i notice improvement? im taking oral vaciclovir.

It is not like that : Pain relief doesn't follow such a strict predictable course. Some unfortunately suffer for quite a long time. I am so glad yours is responding nicely. As such, it stands to reason you will continue to improve.
