Hi Neville,
No offense intended. I care. Horribly busy now getting ready for a family
reunion but feel I must take the time to write this.
Like you, I like to do one thing to figure out how it works, making my issue
count as a learning experience, but that said, shingles is a hell you don't
want to endure, and the longer it lingers the greater the chance of PHN which
seriously can change a person's life. PHN can pass (mine did, felt exactly like
I had a rat caged on my back trying to eat its way through my ribs to my front:
seriously). If PHN becomes entrenched and permanently affects the deeper
nerves, life can become unrelenting, incapacitating pain, perhaps for good.
Mine was far worse than back-ache labor, and worse than trigeminal nerve
inflammation. You really can't imagine unless you've had it. And it's so bad,
that unless you write down what it's like while in it, you won't be able to
fully remember it afterward, which I guess is a mercy.
My shingles lasted 6+ weeks from the first itch which I thought was my
psoriasis, to the disappearance of blisters, but then PHN deep muscle
spasm/nerve pain had developed and continued and I feared this might become a
permanent state. Those agonies haunt me still and the threat of it ever
returning or worse, the PHN returning will again make me leave NO STONE
UNTURNED.
Unless you have some vested, intellectual interest in proving that EIS is THE
sovereign remedy, anything that you can throw at shingles in combination is a
good idea especially if it is someone else doing the suffering.
I'm a Lymie lab-rat and will research and test a theory or protocol and endure
the wait to see if I'm right, but if a family member is in agony, and there's
something that many people have recommended, those are stones to be examined.
In my group at least, and if you google it you'll get confirmation, L-lysine is
an inexpensive supplement that helps the body fight herpes zoster. It's
nutritionally good for you, can do no harm and shingles vets take it regularly
to discourage h. zoster from re-emerging.
Others recommended other things and I tried just about everything as EIS wasn't
doing it fast enough. The only reason I didn't throw Nenah's suggestion of
shegoi at it was that it was already gone when she posted it, but be assured
that I'll try it, try ANYTHING, if then comes back (and it can; I know people
who have had shingles several times).
Forgive me for speaking strongly: I simply want to spare someone else suffering
as I did.
Be well,
Léna
