I got shingles about 15 years ago and didn't know about cs. I didn't have the money for a doctor either so I got out the natural health book and it suggested using vitamin E. Which I did and used a lot of it. Internally and externally on the area of the blisters. I had shingles only 10 days and never had any residual pain scarring or whatever. I took about 1000 mg atleast 4 times a day if not more and kept the area smeared with E and covered with gause to keep it on. Hope this helps. Mary
