Shingles

[Ghoulestofmums]

Just been diagnosed and it hurts! obviously I’m not going out (bye bye Star Wars) but any other tips?

Oh, you poor thing - it's miserable

I had recurring bouts til a colleague recommend allicin (I think that's the spelling...) as a high dose supplement - it might be a coincidence, but since taking it, the shingles hasn't returned.

Take it as easy as you can - that always seemed to make it go faster (though it can last for months ) : did the doctor give you anything?

Antihistamines can help

They really made a difference to my Mother when she had shingles.

I’ve been prescribed alcoviri (spelling?). Thank you for the suggestions

I hope that you get some relief soon. Shingles are so miserable.

Poor you. I dont know the exact spelling either but the medication you mentioned does work! Take painkillers and rest, its bloody horrible.
