Hi Dolly,
If you do get one, get some yard work done also.
Hubby was talking to fellow at church today about his Psoriasis, (SP), fellow says he started using hemp oil and it has stopped the itching.
Checked it out for shingles and they say it helps for that also.
Do not know if you tried it or not.

I am going to get some for my Psoriasis, as the stuff I use to stop the itch is made in Israel and costs $250.00 and Medicare says I cannot get it again, they charged me $100.00.
There is a difference with shingles treatment with the initial first week symptoms which are extreme - lots of help available there but what I have is the residual neuralgia pain this is not an external itchy or something similar
the nerves are destroyed and have to heal but meanwhile the pain is extremely Intense. Var ious topicals oils I have tried them all to not help nerve regeneration is very very slow most people live at least 20 years in extreme pain before they die I assume I am one of them
