My naturopath told me to take 500mg Lysine 3x a day for the outbreak. She also put me on Rhus Tox pellets (200 ck) 2 per hour. That helped with the numbness, but the rash was still extending, so the next day I started on the backup pellets (Arsenicum album 200 ck). That seems to have stopped it -and now I just have to get through the healing phase, which has been really, really miserable. The muscle pain is unlike anything I’ve experienced. It feels like the muscles around my hip and lower back are being wrenched and wrung out like a wet wash cloth. But at least the spasms and jolts running along the nerves have stopped for now.

I’m sorry to read you’re experiencing so much pain, and hope you feel better soon. I guess my instinct about 500mg Lysine 3x a day was good, if your naturopath agrees. My rash was higher up, just below the shoulder blade, and when it was the worst it felt like a very, very bad sunburn - definitely a burning type of pain. I had to wear very loose-fitting shirts to avoid anything touching it.
