Shingles

I had a bad case of shingles a few years ago and boy was it bad. I was in such horrible pain. There was nothing I could do from what the doc told me. All he said was Motrin for pain and swelling, and a topical like Calamine lotion or an oatmeal bath soak. Sicne you cant take anything orally, I'm not sure what kind of pain relief you could get but the calamine lotion and the Aveno oatmeal soak worked nicely to help soothe. Good luck to you and hang in there.

I will toot my own horn as we have had friends with the same problem and they drank XanGo as it is a natural antiinflammatory. Go to www.mangosteenmd.com and read up on the fruit and the juice at www.open4opportunity.com

This is amazing and I hope you will call me asap.

Hi J.,

I experience Shingles a few months ago, good thing I went at the second day I notice a strange allergy, but I find out there were shingles (new for me, I do not even knew what that was) medication... you will need it otherwise your baby can get it too, wash your hand with soap and warm water and if you have a hand sanitizer used too.
Medicine is very expensive if you do not have a good health insurance and you will experience a lot of pain in your nerve system.
Ask your Doctor if there is another oral medication that you can take, otherwise you will be getting worse and worse with the shingles allergy and the pain.
Good Luck and best wishes I hope you feel better.

shingles are like a form of chicken pox. they can come up from stress or from a person that has them. my daughter got chicken pox at 5 months then i got shingles and gave her back chicken pox. you just have to let it run its course. use chalomine lotion and wash your hands before you pick up your lil one. my daughter before the age of 1 has now had chicken pox 2 times me (including the shingles) 3 times. just watch you child for any unusal spots. good luck!

I had shingles when I was 9 years old and my mom put me in an Aveno bath. You can find it in most stores. Then she used some cortizone cream and a bandage during the day. Hope this helps. I know it's not fun. Get well soon.
