Not looking for medical advice, but my MIL has SHINGLES. Does it get better?

Advertisements [?]

My mother-in-law is 75 yo and never would I think anyone that age could suffer from such a crazy illness.
She's had red bumpy swaths circumnavigate her torso. She's in pain, itchy, completely worn out. It's killing us to see her like this and driving us nuts trying to care for her.

Does it get better? She seems like she's getting worse?

Again, not looking for medical advice (in the lounge, certainly not), but what's the outlook? Anybody have a personal experience?
