    I’m 63 y/o and currently have shingles…started last Sunday as pain, numbness and tingling sensation on my right upper back, up my right shoulder, upper right arm posteriorly to my rt elbow, rt chest and arm pit…the rashes and blisters came out Thursday, then I realized I have shingles! I immediately booked an appt with my PCP who recommended I go to urgent care…I went to the ED instead! I’m on antivirals, Gabapentin, and Codeine. Pain is intense for me…I have a high pain tolerance but this is something else! One other thing, I have right occipital neuralgia too that I think was triggered by this stress brought on by shingles…I am now advising my friends to get the shingles vaccine …can’t wait to get better…

    I currently have shingles (on my fanny); The pain was so bad that my husband took me to an ER. Oddly, the shingles themselves are not causing that much pain. My symptoms: Fever (100 - 102), severe pain and BURNING throughout my body, constant/massive headache. Pain is so bad in my back that I can't bend over. Dr prescribed Acyclovir. I'm a very spy 68-yr-old and I can honestly say I haven't suffered pain in my adult life as bad as the shingles. My heart goes out to anyone who has or is suffering from shingles!

    33 years old and got Shingles from the mid back and wrapping around the Left side, breast, to the middle of my chest. The pain is excruciating. I have no underlying health issues. From what I’m seeing, age is just a number. This needs to be addressed to the medical insurance industry that the age limit needs to be changed if they even give a care. I wouldn’t wish this pain on anyone. I’m still dealing with the discomfort on the third week and it would be worse if I didn’t go back to the doctor’s to get prescribed Gabapentin…

    Shingles is intense! 39 y/o and just hit with it. Sunday woke up with my left side of my neck, back, and arm extremely sore and tight. Followed by numbness and tingling later the same day. Monday noticed these rash patches which quickly turned into fluid filled blisters. On day 5 of blisters and my fingers feel like they are going to explode. They are still growing in size and pain. Just started the anti viral yesterday after getting misdiagnosed with contact dermatitis (poison ivy). I hope this ends soon. Stress was my igniter.

    When you say "72 hours within the onset of symptoms", do you mean 72 hours from the moment the rash physically appears? With shingles, mild symptoms present themselves up to 5 days before the rashes actually appear, e.g. mild irritation and numbness, which pretty much no one would call up their doc to examine.

    Im 26 and got shingles for a weeks and a half now (2021) but luckily my doctor gave me an antiviral drug as soon as she saw what been going on with me. at first i thought its just an upset stomach and a very bad back pain coz my body really hurt bad. but when she checked and told me i had a rash, she immediately told me that i also need to take vitamins such as vitamin B complex to lessen the nerve damage. good thing is that now most of the pain is gone and now im in recovery and it didnt took me a month to get rid of the pain..
    also, i didnt know if it helped in my recovery, but i used a sulfur soap and an sulfur with salycilic acid ointment. and it also lessened the pain and itching a bit. being clean on your body also helps and taking a cold bath twice a day.

    My doctor miss diagnosed my shingles rash for bed bug bites and I didn't get treatment for a week later, when I went to a mentally competent doctor at the emergency room. Although the receptionist diagnosed me with shingles when she seen the rash. Over 65-year-old man sees a doctor with a painful rash you would think the doctor would know that it was shingles. I didn't know but the doctor should know more than me. I'm pissed that I didn't get diagnosed earlier. Now I may have permanent nerve damage. What really amazes me is I called several dermatologists and it would take weeks or even months to get in to see one. By that time shingles would have been all over my body.

Try to be gentle with the infected area (when inactive) and keep her away from other people with threats of chickenpox or the vaccine in either for 72 hours cause it can reawaken Shingles.

    Shingles at 37 while battling the worst case of endometriosis disease that has been misdiagnosed for years and doctors have completely just looked at me like I've had 3 heads anytime I've tried to tell them what's been going on. Gynecologist, primary Care, you name it. I feel like I've been failed and abandoned by what's supposed to be medical professionalsand. After all the blood test I've done, all the pelvic transvaginal ultrasounds, pelvic scans and everything else you want to throw out there don't forget the UA's I just finally found out I have hypothyroidism which I already knew I had because I've always been a tiny girl and I put on so much weight in the last few months and it's just been an ongoing battle with my weight and I don't eat bad I'm very physical. I feel like I'm never going to get the help I need. I've been waiting on my doctor to reach back out to me just so I can get on my thyroid medication because I'm awaiting a surgery date for my very much needed hysterectomy. So with all the stress that my body has been under and every single month I lay in bed because of the endometriosis that takes me out of work takes my life away from me with heating pads on the front heating pads on the back doing everything I can possibly do to try and find some sort of comfort to get through the most horrible menstrual cycle a woman should never have to experience, it's no wonder I have shingles right now. My body's immune system has been trying to fight so many other things all at once and it has stressed out to the max and from what I'm reading I'm getting so much mixed communication about what I can eat what I can't eat what's going to cause the shingles to get worse one minute I read something that says the doctor's approved you to eat this and then I read another thing that says scientifically they found out the doctors were incorrect about that so my list of things I can eat is down to a minimum I'm literally dropping weight faster than someone that's anorexic. Nobody should ever have to go through all of this and nobody should ever have to go through as many years as it's taken me to get to where I'm at at 37 years old when I've been complaining about this now for over a decade. I get it take some times a lot of the wrong answers of trial and error to get to the right ones but the answer has been there the entire time they just wouldn't listen period no I'm not the one with the medical degree but I am the one that does listen to my body and I know my body and I know what I normally able to do and what I'm not. At 37 years old I should not be like a hermit in my room 9 to 17 days out of every single month dealing with what I'm dealing with because of this endometriosis. oh unless not forget the thyroid that I've been getting tested for for I don't even know how long now and I knew there was something wrong with my thyroid . Example in September recently I had blood work done for my thyroid by my primary care doctor period my primary care doctor said that my thyroid was borderline but not enough to be on medication. Fast forward a month and a half later at my gynecologist appointment trying to get my hysterectomy scheduled and my thyroid is over highly elevated and I need thyroid medication. I'm just so beside myself it's no wonder I'm suffering through this right now and it's very depressing and I'm breaking down as I try to say this right now because it is emotionally draining and stressful and it's probably not the best thing that I'm stressing out or crying about this now but I have shingles on my face all the way down the left side covering my entire left side of my scalp which is where it started. I thought it was just dandruff it first and it started out as the front of the left side of my forehead just feeling tender and then my left eyebrow started to swell but was no change of color to my skin yet then my eyeball started to hurt just the whole eyeball, within a matter of 2 days after having my 15-year-old look at the top of my head for me I ended up with it all over the side of my face and I literally ended up in the hospital having to get Acyclovir & steroids & everything else you can think of oh let's not forget the die in the eye and the ultraviolet light because then they found them in my left eyeball period but I went to a specialist that day and he says that they're not in my eyeball but I feel them there. now I feel like I'm going to have to go back to the ER and subject myself of being around covid people while my immune system is at its lowest hoping I don't lose my eyesight or my hearing because of this. To anyone out there who's dealing with this, I feel for you and you are so not alone😭

There are millions of people suffering in silence. There is a solution a holistic herbal one. Step 1 Research Dr. Sebi and fasting & healing. Step 2 Do a alkaline liquid fast and take your herbal cleansing supplements. Step 3 stay away from sugar white flour foods and other acidic foods. Eat foods which flight dis-ease. When u fast u give ur body a break from digestion and activate healing. Your body eats the fat then anything foreign to it such as diseases. When I went thru my fast I knew it was working because even tho I was breaking out aka Cleansing. I saw that the breakouts minimized until they disappeared. I haven't had problems since then. Dr. Sebi was the only holistic healer to prove he cured aids, cancer, herpes, ect and walk out the NY Supreme Court. He was assassined in 2016 but his 1st wife still manufactures their original formula. Look up "The Fig Tree'... Jah Blessings, you gotta go thru hell to get to heaven sometimes

    I am in my late 60's and never had chicken pox, but received a shingles vaccine 3 years ago based on the doctors recommendation. I am now the proud recipient of a mild case of shingles. Bottom line: apparently some people who receive the shingles vaccine do not become immune to the disease. Just sayin'. Sometimes I really wonder about the medical community. Many very good docs out there, who have helped thousands of people. However, it's a double-edged sword in that a certain number of people would have been better off without medical information that is not fully developed (and I believe that includes most medical information).

      He then said that he will deliver the herbal package to me through the ups delivery service with the address I will provide that is after preparing the medication with the roots and herbs ingredients he will purchase from the traditional market, so I keep faith believing that I can be cured completely with what comes from nature since it herbal medicine i took the risk and pay him the amount he requested to get the ingredients he started preparation as soon as I send him the money and submit my home address for the delivery today I'm so happy sharing this to the world 🌍 I'm Gioia Sto Bene From Nuremberg (Germany 🇩🇪) for more information on how to get in touch with herbal doctor oduntun you can reach him on What'sApp:+2349039463501 or his (email:herbalistoduntun@gmail.com) I'm a living testimony stay safe and stay bless🙏🏼

I’ll chalk that up to my immune system. One month to the day I got my energy back and had very few blisters. No, I didn’t check to see if I could chop up the medication but that was only way I could ingest it. When I said the blisters were on my butt, they were actually on my lower back atop the gluteus maximus. I do not and did not have an STD if that’s your accusation. I completely understand how the chicken pox virus works, lying dormant, but I did not have chicken pox. That’s why it’s a ‘fun fact’. Doctors and researchers do not know everything. The last 18 months of bull sh!t that has been and is being spewed by rat bastard garden gnome Fauci (and crew) is proof just because someone has Dr. in front of their name does not mean they are god.

    The rash cleared in about three weeks-but the pain raged on for about a year. The man had osteoarthritis but was not on steroids. He did have other underlying disease conditions, such as DMII.
    I think he was subsequently prescribed Neurontin.
    The horrible thing was it always seemed to 'attack' at bedtime-this would interfere w rest and cause a domino effect on the other conditions.

      Did you get the chicken pox vaccine? You can still get shingles if you had the vaccine but no chicken pox. Also, the outbreaks can happen because of severe chronic stress or a huge life changing event. Stress can lower immune system which is the gate way to waking up shingles.

    When I was a kid in the 1950s I had chicken pox, not too bad. In my 60s I got a case of shingles on left face & neck. Doc said if it gets into your eye, get to the ER asap, as it can cause blindness if it goes into the eyeball. It did not, and a couple years later they came out with the vaccine so I took that also. Now it's almost 11 yrs later, I'm 77 and for 3 days have been having those awful "scalp spasms" & pains that foreshadowed the first shingles out-break. I don't know if it's shingles now or a bad ear infection or yadda, yadda...I do recall hearing that there were two varieties of shingles, or two vacines, or something like that. I durn sure don't need this! Wish I'd paid more attention then.

    I had a CT scan done on a Saturday, Sunday was my 62nd B-day, and I was experiencing a bad headache in my right ear! Unfortunately, I stayed home from dinner reservations. Tuesday my right eyelid felt irritated, and by Thursday I felt something bumpy when I brushed my hair so I went to the walk-in clinic on Friday morning! I felt like I was having an allergic reaction to something... The Dr. said I had a stye so she gave me 50mg of prednisone and ordered blood work to stay on the side of caution. She asked me to return Monday for the result. Monday the Doctor who saw me said that my blood work was all good except for inflammation showing in one of the markers which he immediately wrote a prescription for valacyclovir 2 tabs 3 times a day for 7 days... I have Shingles! Sunday, November 6th a week later, I went to a walk-in clinic that was open to ask about the sharp pains in my head that were intermittent and annoying. The dr who saw me tore into me she was very upset with me and the care I was given! It was too long before I received the medication WHY did I not go to an ophthalmologist for my eye? I could have gone BLIND! The Dr gave me pregabalin 25 mg to take 1 cap twice a day for the headache. Monday I called my family Doctor, which I was seen immediately! She increased the dose for my headache and she referred me to an ophthalmologist. Fortunately, my eye is fine, however, my headache and my itchy scalp will never go away! In 6 months I will receive the Shingle vaccine but can and may get Shingles again! When my mother was pregnant with me she got chicken pox. When I was a small child I only got one huge chicken pox. So still the virus laid dormant in me until my 62nd birthday to raise its narly head! I have nerve damage now, that is why I have sharp pains in my head. I am able to function but the itchy scalp and headache are very annoying on a daily basis!

    I was diagnosed yesterday aug 1 2019 with Shingles l, On my upper left side of face, around the eye, the brow, lid and left side forehead.
    Now its below the eye, eye is now swollen shut.
    Throughout the day i been getting pain not only in eye but left ear, left nostril, left side of jaw, left side of teeth upper and lower.. in the past couple hours im getting extreme pain in neck (no pun intended hehe)
    Im feeling big lumps and pain on crown of my head.
    Im getting Cramping stomach pain .
    All day i keep getting waves of feeling like im going to throw up but haven't.
    The blast of pain going through eye is very painful.
    I have a fairly high threshold for pain so i rate it about 7 possibly 8 out of 10.
    Years ago I had a Cesarean "C" section and a Tubal Ligation
    immediately afterward WITHOUT any FREEZING so i know what REAL PAIN feels like.
    (sorry if i made spelling errors)
    I don't know if im just being paranoid but i keep feeling these little itch spots on different parts of my body all day .
    Im so weak and tired but its hard to get real sleep because every time I move i wake in pain.
    I may go back to ER, this is feeling like it may be more than the typical SHINGLES virus that i been watching and listening to on RUclips and the ER doc described to me.
    This would not surprise me in the least. I ALWAYS seem to get the RAREST diseases and the worst possible ailments. Hahaha eeeek!!!!
    EXAMPLE: I have ( RP) Retinitis Pigmentosa, the RAREST form of this eye disease that has left me legally blind and partially deaf in both ears.,

You shouldnt need meds or pain killers if you get this done and keep maintenance. Science has shown long time PHN pain is low grade herpes infection that is active. The system will fuck you, stay away from it and their circus clown doctors and save yourself years of misery which is a huge understatement.

Get yourself some BHT probably online and take 1/4 of a teaspoon to 1 teaspoon dissolved in warm coconut oil a couple of tablespoons take that several times a day and perhaps once at night it's easy to do doesn't have a bad taste and it's very effective it dissolves the casing around the virus so that the virus becomes deactivated the sooner you can start this the better but even if you are in the middle of it it will still help certainly reduce the duration and severity of what one is dealing with okay God is the great healer pray for healing and know that your prayers are heard and will be answered❤

      Not all cases are the same, that’s why even a retired physician has only ever “practiced” medicine. Lol and why you can’t just read articles, you need medical personal to help figure out an effective medical treatment for your specific case. Medical personal available to observe your condition for things that might not be typically tied to a condition or a symptom of a new complication. Also willing to hear out the patients own observations, as most of us can not be hospitalized observed continually.
