Papers Shingles and Post-Herpetic Neuralgia (Visiting Nurse Associations of America) Provides facts, caregiver suggestions, and a glossary of terms about shingles and PHN. 7-02 Shingles: Incredibly Painful (ABC News) "Shingles is an extremely painful condition, because it infects the nerves and causes widespread blistering over the body.
