First time I got shingles my hair hurt, and my left eye swelled shut. I was in the hospital for a week. I've now had shingles attack 4 times, even with having had the vaccine. My left eye nerve seems to be the one that flares up every time.
My wife has shingles for 6 weeks now... terrible in pain... I am scared this is going to be a long recovery...... She has taken all those meds you talked about... This is the worst sickness she has ever gone through... Please Pray for her recovery...
I got a shingles shot in my 60s and then the two shots at 65 and I still came down with a bad case of shingles. Likely I start the antiviral right away is the worst pain I have ever had and I’ve had kidney stones and I’ve given birth to five children with no drugs, this is no joke. I wish the commercials on TV or truthful and told you can still get shingles even if you’ve been vaccinated.
Shingrix vaccine has 90% rate against shingles which is pretty good hey! I’ve currently got shingles and wish I’d had the vaccine. Had shingles 30 years ago too.
I got in in 1979, when I was 27 years old. Lasted 2 months the bad phase and the nerve pain and numbness in my left shoulder lasted 30 years. No treatment in those days. One night my husband actually pulled me back from the balcony as I was going to throw myself off. I just couldn't stand the pain anymore. My doctor, close to retirement, said it was the worst case he had seen in all all life. Will never ever forget it. It is so common that anything that can be done to prevent it or mitigate the symptoms is great. Thank goodness there have been improvements in the 45 years since I got it.

I had shingles in 2019. It felt like the longest heart attack!! It is as you described & more!! I STILL have the nerve pain & even have nerve damage. Even gabapentin doesn't always control the pain. Shingles is NO joke!!!
Agreed it’s like a 6 week continuous heart attack. My shingles was right on my chest and wrapped around my ribs and to my back. It felt like I was getting stabbed my Michael myers over and over in the chest. Gabapentin give me zero relief. I’m not sleeping at all. They refuse to give me real pain meds even though I told them that I took 2 Percocet that I had left over from a previous surgery. Gabapentin doesn’t work at all for me.
I just broke out with the shingles rash last week. I however felt really crappy the whole week before that. Weird headache, chills, fatigue, and muscle aches. I was convinced it was Covid. I tested negative on several Covid tests. I woke up last Friday and the left front bottom of my ribcage felt like I was punched. The pain was continuous and throbbing. I felt the area and noticed there were bumps under my left ribcage. I went to urgent Care and sure enough it was the start of the shingles. I am on day four of antiviral medication. My rash has grown considerably and it's nasty. The pain is still awful especially at night WHEN I'M TRYING TO SLEEP and in the mornings. "I do" wish this on my worst enemy. It's miserable.
I’m going through this right now. I went to the ER, thinking it was my kidney before the rash broke out. I did have a UTI, so the Dr. prescribed an antibiotic and sent me home. A week later the rash started, so I went to Urgent Care and was diagnosed with Shingles. The pain hasn’t let up yet and it’s been two weeks. Taking the Gabapentin does very little. I’m still taking the antiviral medication and praying this stops soon. Kathleen A.
I am on week 8 with trigeminal nerve shingles. This is the worst I have ever suffered. Exploding out of rhe head pain so debilitating. On my third run of valtrex. Lyrica did a bit to help but it caused increase to my peripheral neuropathy. I have had kidney stones that is nothing compared to this. Mine have crossed the midline and started to affect the other side. Pray for me. Please. Sweet Jesus.
Yes I was recommended to use Vitamin D cream to put on the shingle rash. Also to lessen the chances of getting shingles again take vitamin D3. I am currently hospitalized went i get discharged I will start on that vitamin @@garyandkathleenaugustine5225
I think Stress is the major cause of a flare up with shingles’ every time I get stressed out about something I get shingles “ and I have been really stressed for the last couple of months…
Excellent presentation. Pain the worst ever. I was treated within 48 hrs but damage was done. Pregabalin prescribed - Terrible reaction to it in combination with a painkiller. It shut down my gastric tract. Great difficulty swallowing both fluids and solids. Four months later still struggling, and still have residual pain.
Try having a bath using 1 cup Epsom salt and 1 cup bi- carb soda. Use a blend of good quality essential oil of Lavender and peppermint diluted with a carrier oil and apply to painful areas. Found to be helpful, also up your vitamin c and Zinc.
Thank you so much. I have had shingles for around 2 months now. I am in misery as I am typing this comment. I’m so disgusted with what’s going on with me now! I can’t stop this involuntary jerking movement. I feel especially at night time my brains are going to explode. Also the itching, tingling and I have had four surgeries and 2 children, nothing can compare to the pain and suffering I’m going through.
Get to your doctor and get lidocaine patches they will give you some relieve but unfortunately you can only wear 3 a day for max 12 hours so pick the worst time. Have you tried gabapentin or pregabalin? Neither worked for me but does for many people I am told. I have phn for going on eight years now and although the pain lessens somewhat it is always there and even a breeze or a bra causes excruciating pain still but hey ho life goes on. Do hope you get some relief.
Some people have said that putting out hydrogen peroxide on it helps relieve the pain. Also castor oil patches. soak some gauze in castor oil and apply it overnight. Cover it with plastic. You may be able to use a baby diaper.. but if it's one that soaks up all the liquid I don't see how that would work.
Thank you for your helpful video. I just got diagnosed with Shingles today, thought it was poison ivy but nope, SHINGLES! Sorry you had to go through it yourself. God bless you & your family, & God bless everyone suffering with this wicked virus! 🙏❤
Notwithstanding my having been a vegan for twelve years (I'm 75 years old), I just found your website due to my having erupted in my own case of Shingles. My case began on my forearms (yes, both sides); a friend suggested that the slight itching might be hives, something I'd heard of, but never seen. So, I went with that. Eventually, there were rashes around my waist and down my legs that made me question my first amateur diagnosis. Soon, I was getting splitting neural pains, from the top of my head to my jaw and then, the crowning glory, half (yes, only one half) of my head turned bright red, then broke out into an exciting display of blisters on the top of my nose and surrounding one eye, both of which became quite swollen, with the eye closing. Finally, after the typical 3 week waiting period with my Senior "Advantage" plan, a doctor agreed to see the old man with the funny face. And two weeks later, I'm still waiting to lose the the evidence that covers my face and eye. So, thank you for sharing your experience with this condition. As you say, it's a painful event, and one that, if one is unlucky enough, can blind and/or follow one through the end of life. Your discussion will inform and may calm others who find themselves caught with this condition. If this tome is annoying, at least you've gotten a new subscriber out of the experience. Thanks, again.
I have shingles started with a sore eye then backpain then spots on my left hand side of back thought I was having heart problems with chest pain worst pain I have ever had I have all the symtons you speak about thank you
I had them in October 2013 and still have the pain, mainly when I'm standing, especially in one place. Here it's August 2023 still have the pain, it damaged nerves in my up back on my left side. I when to the hospital thought I was having a heart attack, and showed the doctor at the emergency room my back and he said I had the shingles, and it can make you fill like your having a heart attack.
Thank you for a very descriptive video. I am at week 2 and the pain in my shoulder bottom neck and inside elbow is unbearable. I. Never knew shingles could be this serious!
I am a on day 8 post shingles out break of blisters. I couldn’t help but chuckle at your descriptions of how BAD IT FELT “scale of 15 at times” is so factual. I can so relate to your pain… thank God my condition is improving BUT MAN IT IS ROUGH!
Hello my dear friend 👋 have you tried natural herbs ? It works, I tried it and I was cured from This same virus within 12days with the help of Herbal Doctor Ani John on TH-cam channel I’m a living testimony🙏.
Hi. Thx for this. I'm at day 2 of Mt diagnosis. I started treating myself with my doctors advice on day 2. 🙃 oh boi. I'm not looking forward to this. It's on the same side as my back injury.
High carb diet throws me into an outbreak. I get instant relief from baking soda and water . By just take a big glass first then drinking it for a few days, bit by bit. ..have a glass on the go for a few days. Anyone else get almost instant relief from this method. The horrendous pain stops very quickly. If I pay attention they will dry out in a few days. All the best to you and thanks for sharing info. Vancouver, B.C. Canada
My grandmother has shingles on her face on her left side. She was in her 80s. She was a trouper. It was awful. So glad you are feeling better. Love and Light!

I'm a 42 year old male who works a highly stressful job in the hospitality industry. When you described your situation it was spot on to my story. However, it spread down and traced the nerve from right palm to the right side of my scalp. It's been 8 days for me and the blisters have stabbed but the nerve pain is constant and crippling. Very serious stuff. It does feel like a pulled muscle or pinched nerve in the beginning but it is occpanied with fever so beware. Yea even at 42 years old it can happen.
I am having a shingles outbreak right now :( its been hell for me. Its on the right side of my neck, right ear, and chin, and back of my head. Your video is the most informative video I have seen on Shingles. Thank you so much for your advice.
Hi Anam take care yourself I have four months with shingles and it still hurts a lot I recommend you to talk to your doctor so that he prescribes the pills for nerve pain because that pain it is terrible so far I still have those pains and I have already finished the three months of treatment of those pills for the pain I hope and you recover soon I wish you the best
@@juliopelca9385 Hello Julio, thank you so much for your kindness. I truly appreciate you reaching out. I have healed now, but I still have the scars - do you think these will go away eventually? I still feel the nerve pain in my neck every now and then. It is not overwhelming and doesn't occur in a large area - but it is like a sudden throbbing nerve pain which subsides fast but intense still. Sometimes I even get the sudden nerve pain in my upper thigh - which is so confusing because this is not where my shingles outbreak occurred. I will follow your advice and talk to my doctor soon.
@@XxNegative1 Truly sorry that you are having a shingles outbreak. I know how painful it is. I actually started having nerve pain in my neck an entire month in advance - I simply thought I twisted my neck muscle in my sleep and ignored it. A month later - a rash appeared and then painful blisters formed. In total, the entire process took 2 weeks to heal: phase 1 is painless rash, phase 2 is painful and burning blisters pop up (took 5 days to heal after I started anti-virals), and finally scabs appear that peep off (I still have scars). Once your blisters scab - you wont feel a thing. The worst part is when the blisters pop up on your skin - feels like being pocked by hot needles. I suggest you start taking anti-virals because that helps to dry off the blisters. Dont touch the blisters - if it burn, simply rinse off with cold water and let it air dry. Start the antivirals right away and hang in there. Let me know if you have other questions.
My husband had shingles for years. Periodically, throughout the year, he would have a terrible, painful attack. Then he became a vegetarian and the symptoms went away completely. He never had a shingles attack again. No physician will listen to me when I tell them this. They act like it's "quackery." It inspired me to go vegetarian myself (I do eat dairy and fish). Every chronic ailment I had went away, too, and has never returned. I believe that the contaminants (man-made) in beef/pork/lamb/ poultry are poisoning many of us. Do I miss meat and poultry? (I used to love a great steak and roast chicken, like most people do.) But now I can't stand to eat any form of animal flesh, except, once or twice a week I'll have some tuna or salmon and I eat eggs. For years - I've been healthy and symptom/pain free.
I contacted a homeopathic and she says she successfully helped people with PHN which is after affects lingering from shingles. Like many including my hubby who is actually suffering in his 6th week now views alternative as quackery. I will persuade him to see her if I can. I def believe food contributes a lot to our health issues. Cant see him giving up his roast chicken or beef. Thats amazing to read about your husband.
I’ve got it now. Right hip to knee. Just had surgery 2 weeks ago and was trying to recover and then my leg began to ache. I couldn’t figure out where the pain was coming from or why! 7 days later small bumps which continued to spread and still are. Pain is unbearable! Anti viral medication and Gabapentin. Luckily had a few left over pain killers and 1 of those with the gabapentin I do get some relief. If you’re reading this and suffering call your doctor! This is no joke and no one deserves to suffer. Thanks for sharing your story. Glad I found you.
Thank you so much! This was very clear and informative. You’re the first person I’ve seen that described the pain like I’m experiencing.You gained a follower. I’m glad you’re feeling better and I’m on meds and on my way.
Oh a fellow young shingles-person! How was your pain levels? I was around 32 when I first had it and since then Ive had it twice (Im 34 now). If I get very stressed for a longer period I can be 100% sure to get cold sores and shingles. My shingle-rashes were definitely very sore but they didn't hurt at all as much as for most other people. Maybe it is because of younger age? I heard it gets more severe with age and how many times you had it before.
I'm 43 and just got over it. I'm very fortunate that I had no pain and very minimal itching. I noticed the blisters, went right to my doctor, got Valtrex, two weeks and the blisters are almost gone. Early treatment is mandatory with shingles.
Many people get shingles on both sides of their bodies. I've had it on both sides, and my doctor told me that many of his patients also get them on both sides. Eating a plant-based diet rich in nutrients is great, but my plant-based doc told me to stay away from cruciferous veggies and high-sugar fruits as well as black beans and kidney beans. He said to eat white beans, lots of dark leafy greens, and potatoes. He advised limiting my grain intake. When I followed his advice, my shingles dissipated right away. One thing that really helped with the mental anguish was eating lots of mushrooms. Sounds odd, but it worked for me.

Thank you for sharing this. My mom is currently experiencing shingles for the first time. She is severely disabled after suffering two major strokes, & I am her full time caregiver. I make all the meals, so this is extremely helpful to know which foods I should avoid. She eats black beans about 3 times a week so I will be removing that from our diet for a bit to see if it helps while adding in more leafy greens & potato. She loves mushrooms as well, so might as well give that a go too. Lol.
I know they say you can never have shingles on both sides but I did. It was the third time I'd had them. Neither of the first two times was very bad. The third time was not a patch but a straight line on each side of my chest. Yes it came in waves and also gave me a bad headache. My 17 year old grandson got chicken pox from me. He was also very sick.
I am in my third week of Shingles on my leg. I have been taking tart cherry juice, ginger, and turmeric to help with the healing and to reduce the pain.
Very informative! You should consider doing more of this kind of content. You explain things in a way that’s really easy to understand. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Hello my dear friend 👋 have you tried natural herbs ? It works, I tried it and I was cured from This same virus within 12days with the help of Herbal Doctor Ani John on TH-cam channel I’m a living testimony🙏.
I got shingles about 5/6 weeks ago. I’m on a targeted therapy treatment for metastatic breast cancer and had a mastectomy about 16 months ago and I understand that shingles can be common in people with a low immune system. Before the rash appeared I had pain all across my chest and ribs on the operated side and generally felt bad. I thought my tumours had come back but it proved to be shingles, so while better than the alternative, it has been very very painful as it spread across the scar tissue from the mastectomy. The rash has almost totally cleared up now but I’m still having the stabbing pains which is not fun. I just hope I never get it again. I’m glad to hear you have recovered from it now and thanks for sharing your experience of it.
Im in my 30s and on day 4 of having shingles... its some of the worst pain ive ever had. I have flu like symptoms for 24 hours now and feels like its getting worse! its not just on the surface of my skin, which I can deal with, its deep in my body and aching me all over. thankfully I caught it on day 2 and got some meds for it so lets hope it starts to feel better!
Mine started with pain in my right hip. I was applying heat packs and thought I had given myself 2nd degree burns when the blisters emerged. Meanwhile I was touching them and it spread as I was unaware I had shingles. I am in the middle of it now and feel like I’m in hell. Yes I would compare the pain with childbirth 😢
Put aloe gel this help very well,I put this and heal in one week,but my Doctor has made 7interven for clean the inflammation of shingles,and I am ok now.
@@joantiques2 I used Aloe Vera gel on the painful open sores which helped to heal the wounds. Then my doctor prescribed me antiviral medication to treat the shingles. After a week I was told by my doctor in Italy to go to a day hospital, which they gave me for seven days antiviral intravenous injections.
I’m only 32 and mostly healthy. Im a mother, so stressed a lot. I have shingles on my face and it’s been the worst Illness I’ve ever had. The pain in my head was unbearable. I went in to urgent care and ER and had ct scan and tests…They couldn’t figure out what was wrong even with the rash beginning. I finally diagnosed myself and went to to talk to my doctor who agreed and I went to ophthalmologist right after. It’s on my eye. My blisters are on my scalp and face and it’s painful. Everything you described about the pain is true.
Hello B, I am an expat living in China and I’m going through 100% same as you, same things happened. I had it last week near my eye and scalp. After I started the strong antiviral medicine called Zostex Brivudine I started to getting better after 3 days. Today is the 5th day and I’m feeling much better. You need plenty of rest and keep yourself relax, calm don’t panic. Quickly start the antiviral medicine that attacks the herpes zoster.
For the record I’m 31 years old male. I thought I was living very healthy but I also had a lot of stress. Get all your vitamins and minerals + sunlight (vitamin D). I use natural sources and some supplement for C and B12.
Are there any creams or ointments that help soothe? If anyone knows of any items to use or soaps please advise. Do people put bandage cloths over the areas? Asking for my 39 yr old daughter that is on day 1 or 2. TY
Thank you for your share 👍 I am having shingles and got diagnosed 5 days ago. I m 44 years old and have auto immune disease. 2 weeks before I develops pain with left abdominal to back. When the pain starts feel like stabbing so after all of sudden I see little reddish mark on my abdominal but not big. After two days later I see more red look like patch spread most of my left tummy. It is unbeilable pain but itchy with constant back pain, leg pain. I had to run to urgent care and got antiviral VALTREX, LIDOCAINE (external cream ), CAPSAIiCIN (external cream) with iboprofen . Today is my 6 days with shingles and still painful and develop sever headache too. This is totally new to me but whoever has weak immune system and had chickenpox at the childhood, please talk about it before get this nasty painful disease.
My husband had shingles at the age of 53 and for a week he felt he had such a ack in the back of his leg I saw it and a small blister on the back of his leg and then it went the side back of his leg
I had it in my 30's. It was horrible. I'm 63 and have never had it since, thankfully. I didn't find out what it was until after it was over. I went to a Dermatologist because it left me with scars and he told me that's what it was. You pretty much described what I went through to a tee, except I also had a fever. Very painful for sure.

I hate that they say it’s “older people” that get shingles I’ve heard of so many people getting it in their 20s 30s 40s. Maybe the shingles vaccine should be offered to every adult. Offered, not forced.
I have it right now! On my neck/under chin area. I have nerve pain behind my ear and down the back of my neck. My ear hurts. And nervevosun on the right side of my scalp. It's burning. Sensitive to touch and cold fingers. I'm 41. Just had a annual exam and couldn't feel better. My labs were stellar. Mammogram perfect. Pap smear, perfect..... then I get shingles out of no where. Stress! But I really feel fine.
Thank you for this video. I'm 39 and have almost exactly the same symptoms as you described earlier for the last ~8-9 days. Went to Urgent Care 3-4 days ago and the dr sent me home saying it "muscular." Today, went to Urgent care bc the pain would not go away. The second I saw this dr she diagnosed me with shingles within 10 seconds. Makes sense. I really hope this is just a couple weeks-type of thing and not chronic as you mentioned. Thank you again for the informative video.
@@_pxq10 Thank god it’s over. Have faith. The blisters lasted a couple weeks but they were not as bad as some I’ve seen. The pain is what took a toll on me. 3 weeks give or take a week. Hoping for relief for everyone afflicted.
@@bruinstan22 Thanks that you actually wrote that on this thread. I'm 22 and here's hoping I have a quick recovery like yours. What medicine did they give you? I'm using aciclovir 800 right now.
@@ironicfa1389 They gave me valacyclovir but after 5-6 days it didn't really help. I requested something stronger and they gave me gabapentin which helped tremendously, but not sure if i was just already starting to get over it. symptoms diminished within the next 4-5 days of taking that. hope for a speedy recovery.
I'm day 3, my rash is coming out and it's so painful to the point I can't put my clothes on, the rubbing pain is horrible but to me my non stop back n chest pain is unreal .Thank you for your advice.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I have not had shingles although in Jan.2022 my father did. He had his in his eye. I really appreciate your explanation of how severe the pain is. I've always heard they are painful but, your simple honest explanation resonated for me. My dad was irrationally angry with me and at the time I couldn't understand why he was acting so out of character. After listening to you I feel relieved to know that instead ofof
Very helpful information! Thank you so much for sharing your shingles experience. Two of my friends got it. One on her eye and the other on the side of her face. Her face is now paralyzed on the right side. Please get your shingles shot. I did not get mine although my eldest daughter begged me to get it and now, I am suffering the consequences. It's no joke. It is so painful. I too thought I was having a stroke when i felt the stabbing pain on my right side and ribs. The shots are out there! Do it! I also suffer from heart disease and am 74 years of age. This is nothing to fool around with and is preventable.

I just met a person that suffers from shingles, it affected her face. and she has had this condition for 23 years! I have no knowledge of this condition so I couldn't offer her any solutions. Sounds so horrible. She makes herself busy with volunteer work to deal with her pain. In other words, she believes you can't hold two thoughts in your mind at the same time, I suppose. Thanks for the knowledge!
I’m 25 and just had an episode of shingles. Felt horrible like I got hit by a truck on my back. Had fever and a week later had blisters on my ribs. Never thought I’d experience it at such a young age.
@@starlord1530 unfortunately not. She had that when she was a baby. She was in quite a bit of pain (stabbing/shooting in addition to the itching & burning for the first few days. Thankfully the anti viral meds have kicked in!

I had shingles in my 20s...left upper back and shoulder, and you're right..WOW the pain. I still remember not being able to wear bra or even a shirt over my shoulder. Thankfully it was summer and I could wear strapless tops! Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to leave the house! Glad you made it through! When mine started, I knew right away what it was (lots of pain early on) because my dad had had it on his forehead. Yes, we were worried. This was 50 years ago for me...not a lot of treatment for it back then!

I am at Day 27 of Covid. About day 18 my pains were so much exaggerated from my husband and son who had Covid at the same time. My pains were exactly as you described here. I felt like someone had a voo doo doll of me and was randomly stabbing a pin in my ribs and back and sides. Excruciating pains. Then one day I felt better, like I had turned a corner, and lo and behold I had a patch of shingles that had popped out on my abdomen. One tiny pimply patch that went away. So it was like my immune system was on overdrive battling Covid and hauled out the shingles virus as well.

I obviously have shingles now as for the last 7 days I've had like a burning pain over the top of my right hip to my belly button. Tonight I have 2 little clusters of a red rash above my hip. So this video is very helpful👍
I got that stabbing pain really bad around my heart and lung. Felt like organ collapse. They gave me Gabapentin and the pain was so bad my doctor allowed me to take 800mg three times a day, as I would rather be shot in the head than endure the pain but at 800mg, it did not work at all. Thankfully, acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen were able to ease the pain along with showers directed over the swollen area.
I have shingle and very pain full I didn't relize it ,but I thought it was heat rash at frist but then big spots of red was under my bra line and was going around my right side had chest pain and flu like symptoms it does hurt went to the doctor and she gave me a shot I had this around 6 weeks hope it get5 better soon
I was diagnosed with shingles yesterday, this is the worst pain ever! I am laying awake crying, watching this video. I just do not want to be in my body anyhmore, pain is excruciating!
Recently just got over mine, fortunately it was mild since it only lasted about two weeks but wow it felt like my side was on fire throughout the day. It was worse at night to the point I had to regularly apply anti viral cream to soothe the burning sensation. The viral tablets I got from the doctor must have helped a lot since it didn't spread and I don't have that prolonged nerve pain afterwards that I read can happen. Now I just have the rash which is slowly dissappraring.
Anybody dealing with shingles currently, here's a couple tips to help with itch: calamine lotion (obviously), fill a spray bottle with apple cider vinegar and give it a spritz every now and then. And if the itch is really bad, drag a cold scratchy wash cloth across it. The feeling is ecstasy and you won't pop any of your blisters!
Just have to say that it’s not true that you only get shingles on one side of your body. I know this because I have shingles and I have it on both sides of my body. It is interesting that the places I have it on my right side, I don’t have it on my left side and vice versa. But I do have it on both sides of my body. I have a moderate case of it and it is the most painfulexperience I’ve ever been through in my life. It’s also a real pain to deal with keeping everything dry and clean. I’ve gone through about eight night gowns and one night. God bless anybody who has had or will get this terrible terrible virus!
I went through the same symptoms-back ache, etc. The back symptoms were interesting to say the least. The blisters go from my back, down my right arm, to my hand. The neuralgia is painful. Looking forward for that to go away.

I got shingles when I was 8. I'm 33 now. I'm so scared to get it again. It was a horrible experience. I had a rash on my torso from my belly button to my spine on my right side. I appreciate the video. I subscribed and will check out other videos.
Get the Vax anyway, unless at least a few Dr opinions highly recommend against it. Try and fight it from returning. Or PHN from being so bad. And don't be afraid of taking GABAPENTIN. It's not bad.
My husband has been going through this. He had a large area fron under his shoulder blade and down and across his middle. The pain has been so intense. He had pain in his back and ribs, thought he had pulled a muscle. So he didnt recieve the antiviral untill the rash appeared. Im not sure how yu would know the pain was shingles related. Ive had it and didnt catch on untill I saw the rash. Its been pretty horrible, hopefully we are over the worst.
I’m the same with my back! I thought I had just pulled my back. But damn am really suffering today. Feel like I’ve been hit by a bus lol! I have Inflammatory bowl disease so I have a weakened immune system. But I also had a white cell scan last week so my doctor think the radiation triggered the outbreak!
In my case started with pain on all sections of my back then the blisters appeared after 4 days, my wife immediately told it was shingles, she was right. I went the hospital and they prescribed antiviral medication. I turned 67 with virus. This is almost my 3 week, horrible pain.
@@ra78100 Sorry to hear about your pain. My husband has now recoverd the pain lasted about 7 weeks. He seemed quite run down afterwards and lost 1 stone.
My doctor knew it was shingles before the rash and gave me antiviral meds and gabentine for pain. I never got rash but the pain has been ongoing for months.
Hey Chuck I'm glad you are feeling better, I have had shingles 3 times and I must say milder than you, but still not fun, my doctor says take the vaccine and I guess I will, fun fact I had shingles before I became plant based vegan which was 12 years ago, I think my immune system is much better now. I also did the potato rolls for Thanksgiving, they where great! Thanks for being you and all you do!

First if all ... ONE IN THREE PEOPLE GET THIS! GET THE VAX BEFORE TOO LATE. TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO DO THE SAME. Especially men, as you guys just do not have the pain threshold we ladies have. It seems. Been a pescaterian for 30+ years. Very well rounded diet. Never smoked. Anything. Never overweight. Rarely ever have had alcohol. Etc. I would have had the Vax anyway, had my primary care doctor ever mentioned it !! But she was too busy trying to push me to take statins ( extremely not needed by me...seems she was reading someone else's blood work). My prelude to full blown facial, ear shingles was weeks of a one sided sore throat. Still treating that. But spraying lidocaine with iodine I finally added at my own risk, and one pain over with. Visit to a clinic, and REQUEST for TESTING was ignored!! Misdiagnosed completely opposite of Rxs I needed. I was and am quite sick. Pull myself together at times. Very hard to sleep. Very hard to get well from anything without sleep. I'm sort of anti Vax. But this has me convinced my immune system is not what it was. I'll have both the China virus shots AND for post shingles as soon as I can. At least my eye is OK, so far. Too little hearing to worry about anything but constant, plus nerve 'zinger' pain in it.
I was having chest pain and was out with my brother who had a quad bypass a few years ago. he noticed and I tried to tell him i was heartburn trying not to alarm him. next thing I know it was shingles. better than a heart attack, but yes they suck

I got the shingles right after the birth of my daughter. The labor was very long and stressful so I guess that is why. I had no idea what they were at the time. I went to emergency with a 7 day old baby. Once they realized what I had they were concerned I would give my baby the chicken pox. I was exclusively breast feeding and it was summer but I covered up the blisters so I could continue. I wasn't offered any medicine likely due to the breastfeeding and risk to my child. I got through it and my daughter didn't get chicken pox. Later when she got chicken pox at daycare at 3 years it was fairly mild. I often wonder if she had better resilience from the breast milk!

Had shingles in mid February, its the worst pain tht i had in my life. Rash disappeared in 6 days the after effect is worse. The damage nerves is painful u got lot of pinching pain, it feels like an inflammation inside, your energy is low. The pregabalin is good to release the pain, but should not addicted to it. I am doing exercises like walking, yoga stretching helps a bit. I am 56 never had this pain in my life..i have seen that it can last for years to be totally healed😢, but i am being positive n know god is great🙏
I understand how you feel believe me, I have been through this same pain before and finding the best cure for Herpes, Shingles (HSV1&2 ) contact Dr.Ani John via TH-cam channel he saved my life from this same virus I will always recommend him because he is the best herbal doctor in the world
i just got that crap last week. i treated the blistering rash with manuka honey and 100% pure aloe and coconut oil. that helped that part tremendously well. but the nerve pain was epiC and relentless. actually as counterintuitive as it sounds , hot water or a heating pad gave the best and fastest relief from that gripping pain. at first the water hurts but only for a second or two, then the heat imediatly starts relaxing that grip. im in about day 8 or 9 now and the nerve pain is the biggest problem. it made my whole abdomen hurt . for sure ,some of the worst pain one will ever feel. i had kidney stones. id do that again before this. ouchety....hope the aloe and manuka honey mix can help someone. the hot water thing will take courage but does work.
I had Shingles in October 22. I took the antivirus meds for 1 week. The Shingles started in my left ear went into my jaw and tongue I’m in month 9 of the post neuralgic pain. It never went into my eye, thank goodness but close. I used Homeopathy pellets to deal with the severe pain. The pain in my jaw left but has stayed in my tongue. Some days are worse than 10:23 others but the pain has subsided considerably. The tingling tongue can be a distraction. I couldn’t eat citrus fruit and just never tried after the first excruciating painful mouth experience.
What were the Homeopathy pellets called you took? Did you just buy and take take them or see a homeopathy practitioner? Husband took antivirals for 10 days.
Glad I found this video. I am on week 5 post Shingles. Your scale of 15 is may be, on the soft side. My entire right side rib cage was affected. It has been H.*LL . . . . . . I wouldn't wish this on anyone. I will be looking at the vaccine in order to prevent a recurrence.
I came down with shingles in Nov - 2 months ago. I have never had excruciating pain like that except for childbirth. 2 months out, I am still having pain- about a 4 compared to a 10 in Nov. And I still tire easily. I also have Lyme. My Lyme Dr. told me not to get the vaccine, but I don't want to go through this again!
On 11/16/24 I felt itchy on a small area of my back. The next day I went to use a back scratcher and just touching the area felt a burning sensation, spreading and getting worse over next couple days. On 11/19 had to go to Urgent care, diagnosed with shingles and prescribed Famciclavir. I had her take a pic of my back with my phone so I could see exactly how bad. I was shocked to see a large area of pink rash from mid back, covering my shoulder wing area and traveling under my arm. The pills did not work. Extremely painful! Only taking Ibuprofen. Went from pink rash to angry red with blisters and had spread onto my side and then over left breast and down to abdomen. I also suffer from COPD and felt the heart attack feeling you described but also felt like my lungs were being squeezed. I am 70 and have never experienced anything like this! It is now 11/30/24 and not looking forward to a possible 2 more weeks of this. I'm an anti vaxxer but this pain is not worth going thru again. Did you end up getting the shingles vaccine?
I started having left side pain, running from my back to my lower abdomen like birth pains. I first thought it was a bladder infection. The test came back normal. Forca week the pain persisted esp in my left hip. So I thought it was arthritis but the iuprofen didn't help. It progressed and got worse and I thought could it be a kidney stone or diverticulitis. So I went to urgent care. The CT showed nothing. This could not be in my mind. A day later I desperately looked on line and saw that shingles could be internal/no rash. I quickly called my dr cause now the pain goes from 4 to 10 and stays there. At least now I know what this is. Not crazy. Hard to sleep or function with severe pain. Waiting for the dr to call back now. I looked up what vitamins help and what to avoid. In desperation I was putting arthritis patches and lotion on the area that was tender to touch like cellulitis. 🤷♀️🥴
I'm 33 and got diagnosed 2 days ago. I did have chicken pox as a child. My question is, people above 50 are suggested to get vaxed, would getting the vaccine after this help me? I have it in my face, it feels as though my brain is swelling against my scull with lightning going through my ear to my forehead.
I'm sorry you have it now. Please see your doctor if you haven't already. Shingles in the face can be dangerous. You can get it multiple times, so the vaccine would help prevent getting it again.
@@brandnewvegan Yes thanx, doing a follow up with my doc tomorrow and been on aintivirals for about 3 days now. Just wanted the vax answer, this pain I don't wish on anyone, and want to prevent getting it again. Thanx

I think it's appoved for 50 and over, but see maybe there's an exception if you have a serious case. This happened to me with pneumonia. I got it at 48 with a few days in hospital. I tried to get vaxed at 49. I figured I'd try to avoid a repeat. It was approved for 50 or older. I had to get an insurance exception, which was a pain. They agreed when they realized the shot was far cheaper than the hospital. I'm in the US.
I too am going thru a shingles outbreak right now at 70 years of age. My blisters started on the inside of my left arm on several areas just below my elbow through to my wrist which hardly hurt, but most of my pain, which is a burning pain, is on my left chest where no blisters are apparent. I am currently on three medications, Acyclovir, an antiviral, Prednisone, a steroid and a topical cream. So far I am in my 5th day and the blisters are starting to dry up. Hoping this pain does not last as long as others are saying since I already have long term chronic pain issues.

I had shingles and it comes back every once in awhile. Yes it's very very painful. My skin fills like my nerves are being bit and it itches and tingles. Also like lightning is going thur you. It's not fun.
It is strange. I had shingles in the forehead and went down to my eye. I am 36. It looked nasty but within 2 weeks most of it was gone and the pain was minimal to none throughout the whole thing. The nerve pain and itching for the following 2 weeks was more annoying than painful. No damage to the eye thank our Lord 🙏🏻
Thought I had an ear infection but then it worsened to cause me to be off balance & nauseasous. Went to ER because I was so sick, here it was shingles inside my ear. Ugh what a terrible virus. It was a good 5 weeks until I felt my balance restored and was back to normal. (Was given antivirals and steroid and nausea drugs at hospital).
so sorry you went through that especially in your ear horrible ! im in my third week the stabbing burning that comes out of now where for like 40 seconds each time takes me to my knees ! i have it on my lower arm and hand, take care
Did anyone mention "Ramsay Hunt Syndrome" to you, during that period? As someone currently with Shingles, I've discovered, on-line, a few variations of the initial symptoms that, ultimately led to Shingles. One of these was that named syndrome; check it out, on-line. You might find it interesting. Good luck.
@@skellys1948 i think it may have been ramsey hunt syndrome because my smile became slanted and so the dr rx another round of the antiviral medication. It was a month or so before I finally felt normal and had my balance restored.
Im in my 30's and never had chicken pox or shingles. It scares the crap outa me. I had "hand foot and mouth disease" a few years ago (from a kid that got it in daycare) It was the worst sickness or anything ive gone through (and i have a full metitarcel amputation from 4 years ago) The hand foot and mouth stuff is bad, my hands were fully covered in painful blisters that then got on my right foot also (i was scared to death of getting the blisters on my amputated left foot) because the doctor said it could be a very bad deal and may cause my bone infection to come back. The doctors at the hospital had all there co workers and nurse's come in to look at me and ask to take pictures because the doctor said it was the worse case theyve ever seen in 30 years, then that they've never seen it in an adult in there life. When my hands and foot finally started healing after a month i fully lost all the skin off my palms and finger tips, my hands were fully fresh new pink skin (and i do factory work) it was horible going back to work for about 3 or 4 months my hands hurt.
Dear Moto: You poor thing! I'm in the throes of shingles now. I'm 63 and never had this damn virus before. Your suffering was much more than mine. I hope and pray that you're better now! 💐💐🎈🎈🪴🪴🌺🌺🌴🌴😊😊💔💔🎁🎁

Guess what? it was God who gave you shingles in the first place, so praying is in vain.
Nice to see a man admit this was the worst pain experienced. I am a shingles survivor and could not agree more.
First time I got shingles my hair hurt, and my left eye swelled shut. I was in the hospital for a week. I've now had shingles attack 4 times, even with having had the vaccine. My left eye nerve seems to be the one that flares up every time.
Thanks so much *MR OBALAR* on TH-cam for curing me from Herpes, keep saving lives.❤😊😊

My wife has shingles for 6 weeks now... terrible in pain... I am scared this is going to be a long recovery...... She has taken all those meds you talked about... This is the worst sickness she has ever gone through... Please Pray for her recovery...
Looking back it must be a bad memory for her.
How are you
I have it now. Definitely from stress
Prayers ❤️
I swear by Castor Oil.
😢i have shingles. And it hurts like hell!!
This video was good made me realize im not the only one.
I just got diagnosed myself and yeah, it hurts. Hope you get better and myself as well.
I got a shingles shot in my 60s and then the two shots at 65 and I still came down with a bad case of shingles. Likely I start the antiviral right away is the worst pain I have ever had and I’ve had kidney stones and I’ve given birth to five children with no drugs, this is no joke. I wish the commercials on TV or truthful and told you can still get shingles even if you’ve been vaccinated.
Shingrix vaccine has 90% rate against shingles which is pretty good hey! I’ve currently got shingles and wish I’d had the vaccine. Had shingles 30 years ago too.
Same! 69 and had the Shingrix shots last summer. Just learned I’ve got Shingles. Not intolerable as of yet.
Have you ever thought that possibly the shingles shot gave you.... or caused your body to react with shingles?
Wow! That’s terrible, hope you don’t get them ever again
The shot gave you shingles 🤪🤪
I got in in 1979, when I was 27 years old. Lasted 2 months the bad phase and the nerve pain and numbness in my left shoulder lasted 30 years. No treatment in those days. One night my husband actually pulled me back from the balcony as I was going to throw myself off. I just couldn't stand the pain anymore. My doctor, close to retirement, said it was the worst case he had seen in all all life. Will never ever forget it. It is so common that anything that can be done to prevent it or mitigate the symptoms is great. Thank goodness there have been improvements in the 45 years since I got it.

I had shingles in 2019. It felt like the longest heart attack!! It is as you described & more!! I STILL have the nerve pain & even have nerve damage. Even gabapentin doesn't always control the pain. Shingles is NO joke!!!
Agreed it’s like a 6 week continuous heart attack. My shingles was right on my chest and wrapped around my ribs and to my back. It felt like I was getting stabbed my Michael myers over and over in the chest. Gabapentin give me zero relief. I’m not sleeping at all. They refuse to give me real pain meds even though I told them that I took 2 Percocet that I had left over from a previous surgery. Gabapentin doesn’t work at all for me.
How is it going now?
I just broke out with the shingles rash last week. I however felt really crappy the whole week before that. Weird headache, chills, fatigue, and muscle aches. I was convinced it was Covid. I tested negative on several Covid tests. I woke up last Friday and the left front bottom of my ribcage felt like I was punched. The pain was continuous and throbbing. I felt the area and noticed there were bumps under my left ribcage. I went to urgent Care and sure enough it was the start of the shingles. I am on day four of antiviral medication. My rash has grown considerably and it's nasty. The pain is still awful especially at night WHEN I'M TRYING TO SLEEP and in the mornings.
"I do" wish this on my worst enemy. It's miserable.
You do wish this in your worst enemy? Really
I’m going through this right now. I went to the ER, thinking it was my kidney before the rash broke out. I did have a UTI, so the Dr. prescribed an antibiotic and sent me home. A week later the rash started, so I went to Urgent Care and was diagnosed with Shingles. The pain hasn’t let up yet and it’s been two weeks. Taking the Gabapentin does very little. I’m still taking the antiviral medication and praying this stops soon. Kathleen A.
How are you doing now? Has the pain gone?
I am still taking medication for pain, but the rash is gone. Taking Vitamin D3, which is supposed to help. It does last for months. Pretty annoying.
I am on week 8 with trigeminal nerve shingles. This is the worst I have ever suffered. Exploding out of rhe head pain so debilitating. On my third run of valtrex. Lyrica did a bit to help but it caused increase to my peripheral neuropathy. I have had kidney stones that is nothing compared to this. Mine have crossed the midline and started to affect the other side. Pray for me. Please. Sweet Jesus.
@@faithevrlasting I so sorry you are suffering. I know what you’re going through. Prayers!💕
Yes I was recommended to use Vitamin D cream to put on the shingle rash. Also to lessen the chances of getting shingles again take vitamin D3. I am currently hospitalized went i get discharged I will start on that vitamin @@garyandkathleenaugustine5225
I think Stress is the major cause of a flare up with shingles’ every time I get stressed out about something I get shingles “ and I have been really stressed for the last couple of months…
For sure. I agree.
Yes i completely agree...
Ive had a couple flair ups with them and usually going through serious stressful ...
No fun😢
Stress is the key factor in every time I have had shingles flare up. My hair hurts.
Yes. Definitely
Excellent presentation. Pain the worst ever. I was treated within 48 hrs but damage was done.
Pregabalin prescribed - Terrible reaction to it in combination with a painkiller. It shut down my gastric tract. Great difficulty swallowing both fluids and solids.
Four months later still struggling, and still have residual pain.
Try having a bath using 1 cup Epsom salt and 1 cup bi- carb soda. Use a blend of good quality essential oil of Lavender and peppermint diluted with a carrier oil and apply to painful areas. Found to be helpful, also up your vitamin c and Zinc.
Thank you so much. I have had shingles for around 2 months now. I am in misery as I am typing this comment. I’m so disgusted with what’s going on with me now! I can’t stop this involuntary jerking movement. I feel especially at night time my brains are going to explode. Also the itching, tingling and I have had four surgeries and 2 children, nothing can compare to the pain and suffering I’m going through.
Thanks for sharing the description of pain. I have heard that before. People don’t realize how bad it is.
Get to your doctor and get lidocaine patches they will give you some relieve but unfortunately you can only wear 3 a day for max 12 hours so pick the worst time. Have you tried gabapentin or pregabalin? Neither worked for me but does for many people I am told. I have phn for going on eight years now and although the pain lessens somewhat it is always there and even a breeze or a bra causes excruciating pain still but hey ho life goes on. Do hope you get some relief.
I understand and have experienced the same glad you have managed to get some relief.
How are you
Some people have said that putting out hydrogen peroxide on it helps relieve the pain. Also castor oil patches. soak some gauze in castor oil and apply it overnight. Cover it with plastic. You may be able to use a baby diaper.. but if it's one that soaks up all the liquid I don't see how that would work.
Thank you for your helpful video. I just got diagnosed with Shingles today, thought it was poison ivy but nope, SHINGLES! Sorry you had to go through it yourself. God bless you & your family, & God bless everyone suffering with this wicked virus! 🙏❤
Did you have rashes or just back pain?

Notwithstanding my having been a vegan for twelve years (I'm 75 years old), I just found your website due to my having erupted in my own case of Shingles. My case began on my forearms (yes, both sides); a friend suggested that the slight itching might be hives, something I'd heard of, but never seen. So, I went with that. Eventually, there were rashes around my waist and down my legs that made me question my first amateur diagnosis. Soon, I was getting splitting neural pains, from the top of my head to my jaw and then, the crowning glory, half (yes, only one half) of my head turned bright red, then broke out into an exciting display of blisters on the top of my nose and surrounding one eye, both of which became quite swollen, with the eye closing. Finally, after the typical 3 week waiting period with my Senior "Advantage" plan, a doctor agreed to see the old man with the funny face. And two weeks later, I'm still waiting to lose the the evidence that covers my face and eye.
So, thank you for sharing your experience with this condition. As you say, it's a painful event, and one that, if one is unlucky enough, can blind and/or follow one through the end of life. Your discussion will inform and may calm others who find themselves caught with this condition.
If this tome is annoying, at least you've gotten a new subscriber out of the experience. Thanks, again.
I'm currently having a shingles outbreak, and I agree about the chest heart pressure and the pain. thanks for your observations.
I sure hope that you get over them quickly❤
Taking medication and painkillers going through it right now very painful.
What did you get for pain ... My doc gave me Flexeril and it makes me dizzy and blurred vision
I have shingles started with a sore eye then backpain then spots on my left hand side of back thought I was having heart problems with chest pain worst pain I have ever had I have all the symtons you speak about thank you
The natural herbs I ordered from herbalist dr odion help me to eliminate mine completely. Search for him on TH-cam guys
I had them in October 2013 and still have the pain, mainly when I'm standing, especially in one place. Here it's August 2023 still have the pain, it damaged nerves in my up back on my left side. I when to the hospital thought I was having a heart attack, and showed the doctor at the emergency room my back and he said I had the shingles, and it can make you fill like your having a heart attack.
Thank you for a very descriptive video. I am at week 2 and the pain in my shoulder bottom neck and inside elbow is unbearable. I. Never knew shingles could be this serious!
I am a on day 8 post shingles out break of blisters. I couldn’t help but chuckle at your descriptions of how BAD IT FELT “scale of 15 at times” is so factual. I can so relate to your pain… thank God my condition is improving BUT MAN IT IS ROUGH!

Hi. Thx for this. I'm at day 2 of Mt diagnosis. I started treating myself with my doctors advice on day 2. 🙃 oh boi. I'm not looking forward to this. It's on the same side as my back injury.
High carb diet throws me into an outbreak.
I get instant relief from baking soda and water .
By just take a big glass first then drinking it for a few days, bit by bit. ..have a glass on the go for a few days.
Anyone else get almost instant relief from this method.
The horrendous pain stops very quickly.
If I pay attention they will dry out in a few days.
All the best to you

Perfect description of shingles . I'm going through it right now and it ain't no fun .
Is it better now?
My grandmother has shingles on her face on her left side. She was in her 80s. She was a trouper. It was awful. So glad you are feeling better. Love and Light!

Very good especially about Gabapentin. Shingles is the worst pain I have ever had. It was horrible. I'm still dealing with Shingles. I hope it will stop pretty soon. In my 5th week now.
I understand how you feel believe me, I have been through this same pain before and finding the best cure for Herpes, Shingles (HSV1&2 ) contact Dr.Ani John via TH-cam channel he saved my life from this same virus I will always recommend him because he is the best herbal doctor in the world
I'm a 42 year old male who works a highly stressful job in the hospitality industry. When you described your situation it was spot on to my story. However, it spread down and traced the nerve from right palm to the right side of my scalp. It's been 8 days for me and the blisters have stabbed but the nerve pain is constant and crippling. Very serious stuff. It does feel like a pulled muscle or pinched nerve in the beginning but it is occpanied with fever so beware. Yea even at 42 years old it can happen.
I am having a shingles outbreak right now :( its been hell for me. Its on the right side of my neck, right ear, and chin, and back of my head. Your video is the most informative video I have seen on Shingles. Thank you so much for your advice.
Hi Anam take care yourself I have four months with shingles and it still hurts a lot I recommend you to talk to your doctor so that he prescribes the pills for nerve pain because that pain it is terrible so far I still have those pains and I have already finished the three months of treatment of those pills for the pain I hope and you recover soon I wish you the best
@@juliopelca9385 Hello Julio, thank you so much for your kindness. I truly appreciate you reaching out. I have healed now, but I still have the scars - do you think these will go away eventually? I still feel the nerve pain in my neck every now and then. It is not overwhelming and doesn't occur in a large area - but it is like a sudden throbbing nerve pain which subsides fast but intense still. Sometimes I even get the sudden nerve pain in my upper thigh - which is so confusing because this is not where my shingles outbreak occurred. I will follow your advice and talk to my doctor soon.
@@juliopelca9385 Sorry to hear about your discomfort - feel better soon
I just got the shingles it sucks!! How long did it take to go away? I got them on the same spot as you. I even got days of work cause it looks bad
@@XxNegative1 Truly sorry that you are having a shingles outbreak. I know how painful it is. I actually started having nerve pain in my neck an entire month in advance - I simply thought I twisted my neck muscle in my sleep and ignored it. A month later - a rash appeared and then painful blisters formed. In total, the entire process took 2 weeks to heal: phase 1 is painless rash, phase 2 is painful and burning blisters pop up (took 5 days to heal after I started anti-virals), and finally scabs appear that peep off (I still have scars). Once your blisters scab - you wont feel a thing. The worst part is when the blisters pop up on your skin - feels like being pocked by hot needles. I suggest you start taking anti-virals because that helps to dry off the blisters. Dont touch the blisters - if it burn, simply rinse off with cold water and let it air dry. Start the antivirals right away and hang in there. Let me know if you have other questions.
My husband had shingles for years. Periodically, throughout the year, he would have a terrible, painful attack. Then he became a vegetarian and the symptoms went away completely. He never had a shingles attack again. No physician will listen to me when I tell them this. They act like it's "quackery." It inspired me to go vegetarian myself (I do eat dairy and fish). Every chronic ailment I had went away, too, and has never returned. I believe that the contaminants (man-made) in beef/pork/lamb/ poultry are poisoning many of us. Do I miss meat and poultry? (I used to love a great steak and roast chicken, like most people do.) But now I can't stand to eat any form of animal flesh, except, once or twice a week I'll have some tuna or salmon and I eat eggs. For years - I've been healthy and symptom/pain free.
The carnivore diet videos tell a very different story.
As my doctor says, if it works for you, keep doing it!
I contacted a homeopathic and she says she successfully helped people with PHN which is after affects lingering from shingles. Like many including my hubby who is actually suffering in his 6th week now views alternative as quackery. I will persuade him to see her if I can. I def believe food contributes a lot to our health issues. Cant see him giving up his roast chicken or beef. Thats amazing to read about your husband.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
I’ve got it now. Right hip to knee. Just had surgery 2 weeks ago and was trying to recover and then my leg began to ache. I couldn’t figure out where the pain was coming from or why! 7 days later small bumps which continued to spread and still are. Pain is unbearable! Anti viral medication and Gabapentin. Luckily had a few left over pain killers and 1 of those with the gabapentin I do get some relief. If you’re reading this and suffering call your doctor! This is no joke and no one deserves to suffer. Thanks for sharing your story. Glad I found you.
Did you make a full recovery?
Thank you so much! This was very clear and informative. You’re the first person I’ve seen that described the pain like I’m experiencing.You gained a follower. I’m glad you’re feeling better and I’m on meds and on my way.
I’m 34 an was just diagnosed with shingles today lol. Was shocked to hear that with my age.
Oh a fellow young shingles-person! How was your pain levels?
I was around 32 when I first had it and since then Ive had it twice (Im 34 now).
If I get very stressed for a longer period I can be 100% sure to get cold sores and shingles. My shingle-rashes were definitely very sore but they didn't hurt at all as much as for most other people. Maybe it is because of younger age? I heard it gets more severe with age and how many times you had it before.
I am 20 and suffering from it
I'm 43 and just got over it. I'm very fortunate that I had no pain and very minimal itching. I noticed the blisters, went right to my doctor, got Valtrex, two weeks and the blisters are almost gone. Early treatment is mandatory with shingles.
Me too.The rash is irritating but if feels more internal.
Many people get shingles on both sides of their bodies. I've had it on both sides, and my doctor told me that many of his patients also get them on both sides.
Eating a plant-based diet rich in nutrients is great, but my plant-based doc told me to stay away from cruciferous veggies and high-sugar fruits as well as black beans and kidney beans. He said to eat white beans, lots of dark leafy greens, and potatoes. He advised limiting my grain intake.
When I followed his advice, my shingles dissipated right away. One thing that really helped with the mental anguish was eating lots of mushrooms. Sounds odd, but it worked for me.

Thank you for sharing this. My mom is currently experiencing shingles for the first time. She is severely disabled after suffering two major strokes, & I am her full time caregiver. I make all the meals, so this is extremely helpful to know which foods I should avoid. She eats black beans about 3 times a week so I will be removing that from our diet for a bit to see if it helps while adding in more leafy greens & potato. She loves mushrooms as well, so might as well give that a go too. Lol.
All I've heard about legumes (beans) is they are ALL good. Just avoid sugar, Brussel sprouts, chocolate, caffeine, .
What type of mushrooms ??
@@dalvarad87 Yes, I had shingles on both sides of my body at the same time as well as on my back and all over my front. Not fun at all!
I know they say you can never have shingles on both sides but I did. It was the third time I'd had them. Neither of the first two times was very bad. The third time was not a patch but a straight line on each side of my chest. Yes it came in waves and also gave me a bad headache.
My 17 year old grandson got chicken pox from me. He was also very sick.
Before you broke out with shingles did you have the shingles vaccine?
I am in my third week of Shingles on my leg. I have been taking tart cherry juice, ginger, and turmeric to help with the healing and to reduce the pain.
I am in my 3 week and using the same remedies like you. The pain it’s unbearable, very healthy at 67.
How do you take the turmeric and ginger? Capsules or the root? Dosage? How much cherry juice?
Very informative! You should consider doing more of this kind of content. You explain things in a way that’s really easy to understand. Thank you for sharing your experience.

I’m in the most pain I ever had
How long does blisters stay
@@_pxq10 i still have some since Jan.26!!
@@ec1582 does it pain,like at the peak
I got shingles about 5/6 weeks ago. I’m on a targeted therapy treatment for metastatic breast cancer and had a mastectomy about 16 months ago and I understand that shingles can be common in people with a low immune system. Before the rash appeared I had pain all across my chest and ribs on the operated side and generally felt bad. I thought my tumours had come back but it proved to be shingles, so while better than the alternative, it has been very very painful as it spread across the scar tissue from the mastectomy. The rash has almost totally cleared up now but I’m still having the stabbing pains which is not fun. I just hope I never get it again. I’m glad to hear you have recovered from it now and thanks for sharing your experience of it.
Same here every thing you describe happen to me. Doing better now once I started the treatment for shingles.
@Terri, hoping you feel much better soon now that you’ve started the treatment 😊
@@maver1706 Thank you. I am doing much better. And I appreciate you asking.❤️
Im in my 30s and on day 4 of having shingles... its some of the worst pain ive ever had. I have flu like symptoms for 24 hours now and feels like its getting worse! its not just on the surface of my skin, which I can deal with, its deep in my body and aching me all over. thankfully I caught it on day 2 and got some meds for it so lets hope it starts to feel better!
Mine started with pain in my right hip. I was applying heat packs and thought I had given myself 2nd degree burns when the blisters emerged. Meanwhile I was touching them and it spread as I was unaware I had shingles. I am in the middle of it now and feel like I’m in hell. Yes I would compare the pain with childbirth 😢
Put aloe gel this help very well,I put this and heal in one week,but my Doctor has made 7interven for clean the inflammation of shingles,and I am ok now.
@@domenicagiaccone4155 what did you use to help you? My daughter just on day one or two. What helps skin & pain? Thanks
@@joantiques2 I used Aloe Vera gel on the painful open sores which helped to heal the wounds. Then my doctor prescribed me antiviral medication to treat the shingles. After a week I was told by my doctor in Italy to go to a day hospital, which they gave me for seven days antiviral intravenous injections.
Very well explained, clear information. Thank you very much for sharing. I feel bad you had to go thru this pain. Happy you're better !
I’m only 32 and mostly healthy. Im a mother, so stressed a lot. I have shingles on my face and it’s been the worst Illness I’ve ever had. The pain in my head was unbearable. I went in to urgent care and ER and had ct scan and tests…They couldn’t figure out what was wrong even with the rash beginning. I finally diagnosed myself and went to to talk to my doctor who agreed and I went to ophthalmologist right after. It’s on my eye. My blisters are on my scalp and face and it’s painful. Everything you described about the pain is true.
Hello B, I am an expat living in China and I’m going through 100% same as you, same things happened. I had it last week near my eye and scalp. After I started the strong antiviral medicine called Zostex Brivudine I started to getting better after 3 days. Today is the 5th day and I’m feeling much better. You need plenty of rest and keep yourself relax, calm don’t panic. Quickly start the antiviral medicine that attacks the herpes zoster.
For the record I’m 31 years old male. I thought I was living very healthy but I also had a lot of stress. Get all your vitamins and minerals + sunlight (vitamin D). I use natural sources and some supplement for C and B12.
How is your eye?
How you doing now? Exact same thing is happening to me right now
Are there any creams or ointments that help soothe? If anyone knows of any items to use or soaps please advise. Do people put bandage cloths over the areas? Asking for my 39 yr old daughter that is on day 1 or 2. TY
Thank you for your share 👍
I am having shingles and got diagnosed 5 days ago. I m 44 years old and have auto immune disease. 2 weeks before I develops pain with left abdominal to back. When the pain starts feel like stabbing so after all of sudden I see little reddish mark on my abdominal but not big. After two days later I see more red look like patch spread most of my left tummy. It is unbeilable pain but itchy with constant back pain, leg pain. I had to run to urgent care and got antiviral VALTREX, LIDOCAINE (external cream ), CAPSAIiCIN (external cream) with iboprofen .
Today is my 6 days with shingles and still painful and develop sever headache too.
This is totally new to me but whoever has weak immune system and had chickenpox at the childhood, please talk about it before get this nasty painful disease.
Single worst thing that has ever happened to me. I was 56 yrs old, now 59 and I am still dealing with the PNH.
My husband had shingles at the age of 53 and for a week he felt he had such a ack in the back of his leg I saw it and a small blister on the back of his leg and then it went the side back of his leg
Thank you.I have shingles now.I have a Dr. appointment today and I feel better going in more informed.
I had it in my 30's. It was horrible. I'm 63 and have never had it since, thankfully. I didn't find out what it was until after it was over. I went to a Dermatologist because it left me with scars and he told me that's what it was. You pretty much described what I went through to a tee, except I also had a fever. Very painful for sure.

I hate that they say it’s “older people” that get shingles
I’ve heard of so many people getting it in their 20s 30s 40s.
Maybe the shingles vaccine should be offered to every adult. Offered, not forced.
I have it right now! On my neck/under chin area. I have nerve pain behind my ear and down the back of my neck. My ear hurts. And nervevosun on the right side of my scalp. It's burning. Sensitive to touch and cold fingers. I'm 41. Just had a annual exam and couldn't feel better. My labs were stellar. Mammogram perfect. Pap smear, perfect..... then I get shingles out of no where. Stress! But I really feel fine.
Thank you for this video. I'm 39 and have almost exactly the same symptoms as you described earlier for the last ~8-9 days. Went to Urgent Care 3-4 days ago and the dr sent me home saying it "muscular." Today, went to Urgent care bc the pain would not go away. The second I saw this dr she diagnosed me with shingles within 10 seconds. Makes sense. I really hope this is just a couple weeks-type of thing and not chronic as you mentioned. Thank you again for the informative video.

@@_pxq10 Thank god it’s over. Have faith. The blisters lasted a couple weeks but they were not as bad as some I’ve seen. The pain is what took a toll on me. 3 weeks give or take a week. Hoping for relief for everyone afflicted.
@@bruinstan22 Thanks that you actually wrote that on this thread. I'm 22 and here's hoping I have a quick recovery like yours. What medicine did they give you? I'm using aciclovir 800 right now.
@@ironicfa1389 They gave me valacyclovir but after 5-6 days it didn't really help. I requested something stronger and they gave me gabapentin which helped tremendously, but not sure if i was just already starting to get over it. symptoms diminished within the next 4-5 days of taking that. hope for a speedy recovery.
I'm day 3, my rash is coming out and it's so painful to the point I can't put my clothes on, the rubbing pain is horrible but to me my non stop back n chest pain is unreal .Thank you for your advice.
Interested to know if you ever fully healed?
Thank you for sharing your experience. I have not had shingles although in Jan.2022 my father did. He had his in his eye. I really appreciate your explanation of how severe the pain is. I've always heard they are painful but, your simple honest explanation resonated for me. My dad was irrationally angry with me and at the time I couldn't understand why he was acting so out of character. After listening to you I feel relieved to know that instead ofof

Very helpful information! Thank you so much for sharing your shingles experience. Two of my friends got it. One on her eye and the other on the side of her face. Her face is now paralyzed on the right side. Please get your shingles shot. I did not get mine although my eldest daughter begged me to get it and now, I am suffering the consequences. It's no joke. It is so painful. I too thought I was having a stroke when i felt the stabbing pain on my right side and ribs. The shots are out there! Do it! I also suffer from heart disease and am 74 years of age. This is nothing to fool around with and is preventable.
Your friend may got ramsey hunt syndrome
Some people get the vaccine and still get it.

I just met a person that suffers from shingles, it affected her face. and she has had this condition for 23 years!
I have no knowledge of this condition so I couldn't offer her any solutions. Sounds so horrible.
She makes herself busy with volunteer work to deal with her pain.
In other words, she believes you can't hold two thoughts in your mind at the same time, I suppose.
Thanks for the knowledge!
God bless that lady! 🙏❤
Poor lady
I’m 25 and just had an episode of shingles. Felt horrible like I got hit by a truck on my back. Had fever and a week later had blisters on my ribs. Never thought I’d experience it at such a young age.
Same I’m 29
Even i had it at the age of 25..
My 14 year old has them now 😢
@@sunrise7moz866 its probably chicken pox
@@starlord1530 unfortunately not. She had that when she was a baby. She was in quite a bit of pain (stabbing/shooting in addition to the itching & burning for the first few days. Thankfully the anti viral meds have kicked in!

I had shingles in my 20s...left upper back and shoulder, and you're right..WOW the pain. I still remember not being able to wear bra or even a shirt over my shoulder. Thankfully it was summer and I could wear strapless tops! Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to leave the house! Glad you made it through! When mine started, I knew right away what it was (lots of pain early on) because my dad had had it on his forehead. Yes, we were worried. This was 50 years ago for me...not a lot of treatment for it back then!

I am at Day 27 of Covid. About day 18 my pains were so much exaggerated from my husband and son who had Covid at the same time. My pains were exactly as you described here. I felt like someone had a voo doo doll of me and was randomly stabbing a pin in my ribs and back and sides. Excruciating pains. Then one day I felt better, like I had turned a corner, and lo and behold I had a patch of shingles that had popped out on my abdomen. One tiny pimply patch that went away. So it was like my immune system was on overdrive battling Covid and hauled out the shingles virus as well.

You may have had a mild case of chicken pox as a child. You do need that in your past to get shingles.
I too have never had chicken pox as both my parents will attest. I have shingles now. Day 7.
I obviously have shingles now as for the last 7 days I've had like a burning pain over the top of my right hip to my belly button.
Tonight I have 2 little clusters of a red rash above my hip.
So this video is very helpful👍
Thanks so much *MR OBALAR* on TH-cam for curing me from Herpes, keep saving lives.❤😊😊
I got that stabbing pain really bad around my heart and lung. Felt like organ collapse. They gave me Gabapentin and the pain was so bad my doctor allowed me to take 800mg three times a day, as I would rather be shot in the head than endure the pain but at 800mg, it did not work at all. Thankfully, acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen were able to ease the pain along with showers directed over the swollen area.
I have shingle and very pain full I didn't relize it ,but I thought it was heat rash at frist but then big spots of red was under my bra line and was going around my right side had chest pain and flu like symptoms it does hurt went to the doctor and she gave me a shot I had this around 6 weeks hope it get5 better soon
@@judywalters1414 How you feeling right now? Are you still suffering?
I was diagnosed with shingles yesterday, this is the worst pain ever! I am laying awake crying, watching this video. I just do not want to be in my body anyhmore, pain is excruciating!
Pain started about 10 days ago, spots started 7 days ago, from spine around left side to belly button! Pain is miserable, but Tylenol helps somewhat.
Recently just got over mine, fortunately it was mild since it only lasted about two weeks but wow it felt like my side was on fire throughout the day. It was worse at night to the point I had to regularly apply anti viral cream to soothe the burning sensation. The viral tablets I got from the doctor must have helped a lot since it didn't spread and I don't have that prolonged nerve pain afterwards that I read can happen. Now I just have the rash which is slowly dissappraring.
Anybody dealing with shingles currently, here's a couple tips to help with itch: calamine lotion (obviously), fill a spray bottle with apple cider vinegar and give it a spritz every now and then. And if the itch is really bad, drag a cold scratchy wash cloth across it. The feeling is ecstasy and you won't pop any of your blisters!
i really DO care if the vax weakens my immune system. if your immunity is shot it's harder to fight illnesses. glad you made it thru
Just have to say that it’s not true that you only get shingles on one side of your body. I know this because I have shingles and I have it on both sides of my body. It is interesting that the places I have it on my right side, I don’t have it on my left side and vice versa. But I do have it on both sides of my body. I have a moderate case of it and it is the most painfulexperience I’ve ever been through in my life. It’s also a real pain to deal with keeping everything dry and clean. I’ve gone through about eight night gowns and one night. God bless anybody who has had or will get this terrible terrible virus!
Thanks so much *MR OBALAR* on TH-cam for curing me from Herpes, keep saving lives.❤😊😊
I went through the same symptoms-back ache, etc. The back symptoms were interesting to say the least. The blisters go from my back, down my right arm, to my hand. The neuralgia is painful. Looking forward for that to go away.

I got shingles when I was 8. I'm 33 now. I'm so scared to get it again. It was a horrible experience. I had a rash on my torso from my belly button to my spine on my right side. I appreciate the video. I subscribed and will check out other videos.
Get the Vax anyway, unless at least a few Dr opinions highly recommend against it. Try and fight it from returning. Or PHN from being so bad.
And don't be afraid of taking GABAPENTIN. It's not bad.
My husband has been going through this. He had a large area fron under his shoulder blade and down and across his middle. The pain has been so intense.
He had pain in his back and ribs, thought he had pulled a muscle. So he didnt recieve the antiviral untill the rash appeared. Im not sure how yu would know the pain was shingles related.
Ive had it and didnt catch on untill I saw the rash.
Its been pretty horrible, hopefully we are over the worst.
I’m the same with my back! I thought I had just pulled my back. But damn am really suffering today. Feel like I’ve been hit by a bus lol! I have Inflammatory bowl disease so I have a weakened immune system. But I also had a white cell scan last week so my doctor think the radiation triggered the outbreak!
In my case started with pain on all sections of my back then the blisters appeared after 4 days, my wife immediately told it was shingles, she was right. I went the hospital and they prescribed antiviral medication. I turned 67 with virus. This is almost my 3 week, horrible pain.
@@ra78100 Sorry to hear about your pain. My husband has now recoverd the pain lasted about 7 weeks. He seemed quite run down afterwards and lost 1 stone.
My doctor knew it was shingles before the rash and gave me antiviral meds and gabentine for pain. I never got rash but the pain has been ongoing for months.
Good video, I’m on the shingles bus too and your descriptions are right on. Ouch !
Hey Chuck I'm glad you are feeling better, I have had shingles 3 times and I must say milder than you, but still not fun, my doctor says take the vaccine and I guess I will, fun fact I had shingles before I became plant based vegan which was 12 years ago, I think my immune system is much better now. I also did the potato rolls for Thanksgiving, they where great! Thanks for being you and all you do!

First if all ... ONE IN THREE PEOPLE GET THIS! GET THE VAX BEFORE TOO LATE. TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO DO THE SAME. Especially men, as you guys just do not have the pain threshold we ladies have. It seems.
Been a pescaterian for 30+ years. Very well rounded diet.
Never smoked. Anything. Never overweight. Rarely ever have had alcohol. Etc.
I would have had the Vax anyway, had my primary care doctor ever mentioned it !! But she was too busy trying to push me to take statins ( extremely not needed by me...seems she was reading someone else's blood work).
My prelude to full blown facial, ear shingles was weeks of a one sided sore throat. Still treating that. But spraying lidocaine with iodine I finally added at my own risk, and one pain over with.
Visit to a clinic, and REQUEST for TESTING was ignored!! Misdiagnosed completely opposite of Rxs I needed.
I was and am quite sick. Pull myself together at times. Very hard to sleep. Very hard to get well from anything without sleep.
I'm sort of anti Vax. But this has me convinced my immune system is not what it was. I'll have both the China virus shots AND for post shingles as soon as I can. At least my eye is OK, so far. Too little hearing to worry about anything but constant, plus nerve 'zinger' pain in it.
One of the unluckiest people in the world 😩 only 4% get it twice and you’ve managed to get it 3 times 😩😩😩
I was having chest pain and was out with my brother who had a quad bypass a few years ago. he noticed and I tried to tell him i was heartburn trying not to alarm him. next thing I know it was shingles. better than a heart attack, but yes they suck
Thanks Chuck. We appreciate you for sharing your insight. Stay well 🌼👍🏻😊

Iam at 4 days of having shingles..it so painful
I got the shingles right after the birth of my daughter. The labor was very long and stressful so I guess that is why. I had no idea what they were at the time. I went to emergency with a 7 day old baby. Once they realized what I had they were concerned I would give my baby the chicken pox. I was exclusively breast feeding and it was summer but I covered up the blisters so I could continue. I wasn't offered any medicine likely due to the breastfeeding and risk to my child. I got through it and my daughter didn't get chicken pox. Later when she got chicken pox at daycare at 3 years it was fairly mild. I often wonder if she had better resilience from the breast milk!

Thank you for sharing! I bet you passed some immunity through breastfeeding 🤱🏾
@@sweetsagehomesteadfarm5045 I really think so! My son had chicken pox and it was much worse
@@sandray7609 that’s really interesting! I wonder if anyone has studied this.
@@sweetsagehomesteadfarm5045 probably too difficult...it wouldn't be ethical to set up a study. Just anecdotal
Had shingles in mid February, its the worst pain tht i had in my life. Rash disappeared in 6 days the after effect is worse. The damage nerves is painful u got lot of pinching pain, it feels like an inflammation inside, your energy is low. The pregabalin is good to release the pain, but should not addicted to it. I am doing exercises like walking, yoga stretching helps a bit. I am 56 never had this pain in my life..i have seen that it can last for years to be totally healed😢, but i am being positive n know god is great🙏
I understand how you feel believe me, I have been through this same pain before and finding the best cure for Herpes, Shingles (HSV1&2 ) contact Dr.Ani John via TH-cam channel he saved my life from this same virus I will always recommend him because he is the best herbal doctor in the world
i just got that crap last week. i treated the blistering rash with manuka honey and 100% pure aloe and coconut oil. that helped that part tremendously well. but the nerve pain was epiC and relentless. actually as counterintuitive as it sounds , hot water or a heating pad gave the best and fastest relief from that gripping pain. at first the water hurts but only for a second or two, then the heat imediatly starts relaxing that grip. im in about day 8 or 9 now and the nerve pain is the biggest problem. it made my whole abdomen hurt . for sure ,some of the worst pain one will ever feel. i had kidney stones. id do that again before this. ouchety....hope the aloe and manuka honey mix can help someone. the hot water thing will take courage but does work.
How are you pain free?
I had Shingles in October 22. I took the antivirus meds for 1 week. The Shingles started in my left ear went into my jaw and tongue I’m in month 9 of the post neuralgic pain. It never went into my eye, thank goodness but close. I used Homeopathy pellets to deal with the severe pain. The pain in my jaw left but has stayed in my tongue. Some days are worse than 10:23 others but the pain has subsided considerably. The tingling tongue can be a distraction. I couldn’t eat citrus fruit and just never tried after the first excruciating painful mouth experience.
What were the Homeopathy pellets called you took? Did you just buy and take take them or see a homeopathy practitioner? Husband took antivirals for 10 days.
@@SueRipley-f5mi saw a homeopathic practitioner who prescribed. Arnica was one of them. Sorry I don’t know the name of the other
Glad I found this video. I am on week 5 post Shingles. Your scale of 15 is may be, on the soft side. My entire right side rib cage was affected. It has been H.*LL . . . . . . I wouldn't wish this on anyone. I will be looking at the vaccine in order to prevent a recurrence.
I came down with shingles in Nov - 2 months ago. I have never had excruciating pain like that except for childbirth. 2 months out, I am still having pain- about a 4 compared to a 10 in Nov. And I still tire easily. I also have Lyme. My Lyme Dr. told me not to get the vaccine, but I don't want to go through this again!
shingles can i use cream Zinc Oxide Calamine calmoseptine Dr.
On 11/16/24 I felt itchy on a small area of my back. The next day I went to use a back scratcher and just touching the area felt a burning sensation, spreading and getting worse over next couple days. On 11/19 had to go to Urgent care, diagnosed with shingles and prescribed Famciclavir. I had her take a pic of my back with my phone so I could see exactly how bad. I was shocked to see a large area of pink rash from mid back, covering my shoulder wing area and traveling under my arm. The pills did not work. Extremely painful! Only taking Ibuprofen. Went from pink rash to angry red with blisters and had spread onto my side and then over left breast and down to abdomen. I also suffer from COPD and felt the heart attack feeling you described but also felt like my lungs were being squeezed. I am 70 and have never experienced anything like this! It is now 11/30/24 and not looking forward to a possible 2 more weeks of this. I'm an anti vaxxer but this pain is not worth going thru again. Did you end up getting the shingles vaccine?
I started having left side pain, running from my back to my lower abdomen like birth pains. I first thought it was a bladder infection. The test came back normal. Forca week the pain persisted esp in my left hip. So I thought it was arthritis but the iuprofen didn't help. It progressed and got worse and I thought could it be a kidney stone or diverticulitis. So I went to urgent care. The CT showed nothing. This could not be in my mind. A day later I desperately looked on line and saw that shingles could be internal/no rash. I quickly called my dr cause now the pain goes from 4 to 10 and stays there. At least now I know what this is. Not crazy. Hard to sleep or function with severe pain. Waiting for the dr to call back now. I looked up what vitamins help and what to avoid. In desperation I was putting arthritis patches and lotion on the area that was tender to touch like cellulitis. 🤷♀️🥴
I too have internal shingles . At least if you get the blisters you know what you have . Without blisters its just a process of elimination .
Into my 18 th day with the painful horrible Shingles. Thanks for your video
glad U R feeling better❣️
Thank you for the information. My husband and I got our first Shingrix shots today
I'm 33 and got diagnosed 2 days ago. I did have chicken pox as a child. My question is, people above 50 are suggested to get vaxed, would getting the vaccine after this help me?
I have it in my face, it feels as though my brain is swelling against my scull with lightning going through my ear to my forehead.
I'm sorry you have it now. Please see your doctor if you haven't already. Shingles in the face can be dangerous. You can get it multiple times, so the vaccine would help prevent getting it again.
@@brandnewvegan Yes thanx, doing a follow up with my doc tomorrow and been on aintivirals for about 3 days now. Just wanted the vax answer, this pain I don't wish on anyone, and want to prevent getting it again. Thanx

I think it's appoved for 50 and over, but see maybe there's an exception if you have a serious case.
This happened to me with pneumonia. I got it at 48 with a few days in hospital. I tried to get vaxed at 49. I figured I'd try to avoid a repeat.
It was approved for 50 or older. I had to get an insurance exception, which was a pain. They agreed when they realized the shot was far cheaper than the hospital. I'm in the US.
I too am going thru a shingles outbreak right now at 70 years of age. My blisters started on the inside of my left arm on several areas just below my elbow through to my wrist which hardly hurt, but most of my pain, which is a burning pain, is on my left chest where no blisters are apparent. I am currently on three medications, Acyclovir, an antiviral, Prednisone, a steroid and a topical cream. So far I am in my 5th day and the blisters are starting to dry up. Hoping this pain does not last as long as others are saying since I already have long term chronic pain issues.
I was once a herpes patient, but now I finally got rid of it with the help of (Dr. Ani John). He is a great traditional herbalist. the herbal medicine he sent me cured me permanently, I was cured from this same virus... You too can be cured with this same herbal remedy. Visit Dr. Ani John on TH-cam channel. He is a healer
I had shingles and it comes back every once in awhile. Yes it's very very painful. My skin fills like my nerves are being bit and it itches and tingles. Also like lightning is going thur you. It's not fun.
You possibly had a disease
called, 'Topical
steroid withdrawal'. Visit address with
5 letters 1. i 2. t 3. s 4. a 5. n then a dot and an org.
It's hard to give this info. Censorship algorithms.
It is strange. I had shingles in the forehead and went down to my eye. I am 36. It looked nasty but within 2 weeks most of it was gone and the pain was minimal to none throughout the whole thing. The nerve pain and itching for the following 2 weeks was more annoying than painful. No damage to the eye thank our Lord 🙏🏻
Oh yea, I took about 3 different medications throughout the whole process. I think that helped shortened the cycle.
My Dad had the vax :
& still got shingles? What are the chances of that?
I’ve been battling shingles in my eye and around into my temple and scalp - it is horrible!!!!
Thought I had an ear infection but then it worsened to cause me to be off balance & nauseasous. Went to ER because I was so sick, here it was shingles inside my ear. Ugh what a terrible virus. It was a good 5 weeks until I felt my balance restored and was back to normal. (Was given antivirals and steroid and nausea drugs at hospital).
so sorry you went through that especially in your ear horrible ! im in my third week the stabbing burning that comes out of now where for like 40 seconds each time takes me to my knees ! i have it on my lower arm and hand, take care
@@ct4105 Hope u feel better soon! It is so very painful.
Did anyone mention "Ramsay Hunt Syndrome" to you, during that period? As someone currently with Shingles, I've discovered, on-line, a few variations of the initial symptoms that, ultimately led to Shingles. One of these was that named syndrome; check it out, on-line. You might find it interesting. Good luck.
@@skellys1948 i think it may have been ramsey hunt syndrome because my smile became slanted and so the dr rx another round of the antiviral medication. It was a month or so before I finally felt normal and had my balance restored.
@@skellys1948 feel better soon!
Im in my 30's and never had chicken pox or shingles. It scares the crap outa me. I had "hand foot and mouth disease" a few years ago (from a kid that got it in daycare) It was the worst sickness or anything ive gone through (and i have a full metitarcel amputation from 4 years ago)
The hand foot and mouth stuff is bad, my hands were fully covered in painful blisters that then got on my right foot also (i was scared to death of getting the blisters on my amputated left foot) because the doctor said it could be a very bad deal and may cause my bone infection to come back.
The doctors at the hospital had all there co workers and nurse's come in to look at me and ask to take pictures because the doctor said it was the worse case theyve ever seen in 30 years, then that they've never seen it in an adult in there life.
When my hands and foot finally started healing after a month i fully lost all the skin off my palms and finger tips, my hands were fully fresh new pink skin (and i do factory work) it was horible going back to work for about 3 or 4 months my hands hurt.
Dear Moto: You poor thing! I'm in the throes of shingles now. I'm 63 and never had this damn virus before. Your suffering was much more than mine. I hope and pray that you're better now! 💐💐🎈🎈🪴🪴🌺🌺🌴🌴😊😊💔💔🎁🎁
