I read somewhere that Ivermectin is effective against Shingles. I’ll try that instead.
If shingles is caught very early on, within the first two days, there is an antiviral medication they can give you for it that significantly lowers the severity of the disease.
I react very poorly to immunizations to begin with and have seen what shingles looks like, so I am conscious of the need to seek immediate treatment if I get the blisters and I suspect shingles.
I’ve had shingles twice. Once I’m my 20s and once in my 60s. The first time I toughed it out. I had nerve twinges that lasted about 15 years. The second time I was prescribed valtrex and Gabapentin. The pain was completely gone in less than a day and no residual pain.
