Shingles and other skin rashes?

I have had shingles (or what they say is shingles) over 30 times. I use to get them once a year, but over the last year I have been sick almost every day. Aside from the patch on my cheek I usually get, I have random sores on my scalp, blisters on my chest and back and a patch under my nose. Acylcovir and Valtrex do not work. I have constant nerve paing and feel tired alot. Any ideas as to what this might be....I don't think it is shingles at this point, but not sure what it could be.

Sound like a deeper problem and your skin is showing one if the symptoms from it.
Slow down your life and look after yourself completely (ie, eat right and do nothing strenuous, preferably no work) for at least a week. Your doc can probably help as well so best to go see them.

Sounds like a viral infection your body just can't combat no matter what. Are you relatively healthy otherwise, or do you get sick really easy with things like colds and the flu? Perhaps a regular regime of immune system boosters to your diet would help somewhat. However, I still think you will have to deal with this your whole life. You can only hope to lessen the extent of it.
