I had chicken pox when I was six, bumps and scabs all over my face and body.
Well in the last week I've noticed red spots on my arms and some scabs.
Shingles, I don't know, but I feel fine.
Immediate treatment unless you want to risk permanent nerve damage.
I had a breakout 3 years ago and it was only on the heal of my left hand up to the tip of my little finger. I got treatment with 24 hours, but my little finger is still numb today.
My initial symptoms were what I thought was muscle pain in my left forearm, but I had just put 10 tons hat in barn. The next day is when I noticed a small clusters of blisters just below the heal of my hand on the wrist. Again, I figured it was from the hay irritation from the cuff of my glove. But the more I looked at the more I suspected it was shingles, so I went into the urgent care. The doctor said I should have come in at the first sign, but I thought it was no big deal as explained above
...a rash of bumps that hurt like burning hell.
My Mother had shingles several years ago. I researched it (including here on FR) for her, looking for any kind of relief. I found this info, and it cleared hers up within 5 days (with immediate pain relief). She never had another out break before her death about 3 years later. When my daughter popped out with is a few years ago, I sent her this info, hers cleared up and she has had no outbreaks since.
What I found:
- Shingles is caused by the Herpes Zoster virus which is the same virus as Chicken Pox.
- Shingles around your eyes can blind you.
- There is a vaccine for shingles. Ask your doctor about a shot. Vaccinated people can still get shingles, but they suffer far less pain and the bout is far shorter.
- A non-immune person can get Chicken Pox from you when you have a shingles outbreak.
TAKE:
L-Lysine - clobbers the herpes zoster virus and props up the immune system.
Vitamin D3 boosts your immune system, wards off viruses.
When you have an outbreak, take 6000-8000 milligrams of L-Lysine a day. Also up your dose of Vitamin D to 4000 milligrams.
Once your outbreak is all cleared up, take 2000 milligrams of L-Lysine and Vitamin D as a maintenance dose each day.
Forgive me, I don’t mean to pry but how old are you?
