"i had the shingles and the bumps went away, but the pain didn&#039;t. it was so severe that i could barley work. people didn&#039;t understand or believe me because you could not see my pain. i went to several pain specialists and i feel i was in the er every other week. the pills they were giving me didn&#039;t help. i finally found the pain specialist that believed me. i am blessed that i found the right specialist and i am now using the 100mg fentanyl patches along with other medicine. it has saved my life and i am only in my 30s."
