Aww Wayne! I felt for you watching this video. Poor you. 😢 I hope things are settling down now. That looks nasty, hope I never get shingles! Sending love. xx

Get you some lidocaine patches. Makes it feel much better!😊

I had it and watched a video that said to load up on Vitamin D. I did that. I doubled my dose. And they say to wear loose clothing but that still brushes up against it and it hurts. Ironically, for me, It felt better when I wrapped it in a thick, tight-fitting bandage. The consistent pressure on it creates a CONSISTENT moderate pain. Doesn't sound good...right? But, for me the constant, consistent,pain was more tolerable than sporadic shooting pains . When a pain.os consistent, your body kind of gets used to it. I also think it prevented the rash from blistering. I had no blistering. It took about 10 days to recover.

Omg , I've been a fan for years ! This is my first comment. I've had shingles. You are one of my favourite people in the world, fluilds, pain killers ,lots hold on We love you so much , the master must get well xxxxx

Hi, If Mr. Goss reads this. As someone living with chronic pain, with what sounds like your type of pain and probably pretty much the same intensity, at least when not following my medicine list religiously, for the last 29 years. I have this caution I give any other who is pain enough to warrant opioids on any kind all the time. I was told this by the first physician I ever had when newly injured. The best way to avoid adding a drug dependency on top of all the other things, is to never take the medicine as needed, if you need it all hours of the day. What the prescribing doctor should have gone through with you, but rarely does, is at what times per day you should take the medicine, or at least how many times per day. If you are in enough pain that you need the meds the whole day and night, take the number of pills you are supposed to take and divide them up into pills/24 hours and take them this way. I wrangle the night dose to fit into taking just before sleep, but that's it. Please do this, and you have the possibility to be able to get off the meds when you're back to normal. The other thing is to only take as much painkillers as you are prescribed. The pain will be there, but to a lower level. There will be the temptation to taking just one more painkiller, but please resist. With most meds the effectiveness will not increase with another one, if prescribed correctly, but your body's craving that extra will increase. Stay well and my best wishes for a speedy recovery. Yours, Ann

Oh Wayne im so sorry i pray you feel better very soon. Ive heard theyre horrible.

Oh Wayne so sad I had Shingles in 2019 and I still have the ongoing nerve Pain so debilitating on had it in my lower back and down my right leg I was too late getting the antiviral they too long diagnosing me, I feel your pain ❤❤❤❤❤

I’m glad it’s shingles rather than a heart issue, but I had shingles last fall and it’s the worst. So, so, so sorry for you my love.

Oh, you poor thing. They suck. Make sure to take all your meds. What worked for me was B12, Zinc, Vitamin C and yogurt(lysine). Sleep as much as you can. I felt better when I was cold. I used ice packs it was the only thing that helped me with the itching. I hope you feel better soon. 😘 Be kind to yourself.

Wayne I'm a little Late as I've just come across this Video but I've Subscribed so will look forward to watching more Thankyou so much ,I'm 70 later this year and have always used concealer trying to get rid of Dark Circles and have always put it on all the way across but now I know what to do I'll be taking your advise Thankyou

Oh Wayne, Im so sorry you are going through all of that. When it rains, it pours. Had you had a shingles vaccine? You come and vent to us any time!! You poor dear. I will be praying for you to have a speedy recovery. ❤🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️

Oh man! I had shingles in the same spot and it was absolutely miserable! I’m chronically ill, and of all the health stuff I’ve had, shingles is up there as one of the worst. Sending you love and healing vibes ❤

Oh no Wayne I’m so sorry to hear this. I’ve heard shingles is the absolute worst. Wishing you a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹🙏🏻🇦🇺

My husband had shingles! It's brutal

I rarely comment but I had to comment tonight. I am so sorry, Wayne 😟! It sounds very uncomfortable. I'm guessing you didn't get the Shingles Vaccine since I never heard you mention it, or maybe I missed it. Hubs and I both got our two shingles vaccines awhile back, they are 1 month apart. So glad that we did now after watching this video. I really hope you heal and feel better real soon, hun. Hugsss <3

So sorry you are going through this, Wayne. Shingles happens when your immune system is compromised. In a person your age, that often means they are under a lot of stress, since your immune system should otherwise be healthy. Sorry about the stress, also, if that is the case. Hope you are feeling better soon.

Shingles has been a very common side effect of the Covid vaccine.

Worst pain imaginable and I gave birth to a 10#baby without meds. I had them several years ago and have been on antivirals since. Sending good thoughts your way and wishes for a speedy recovery.

Rest Wayne, and sounds simple but I know it's not - reduce your stress. Stress and shingles are best friends. I hope you feel better soon.

I am so sorry. Shingles is HORRIBLE.

Yes had it too! The most excruciating pain I ve ever had! 😢

I feel your pain 😞 after treatment for Leukaemia I had shingles four times last year, it is brutal to say the least, I take anti virals at a low dose every day probably will forever, despite these I still got shingles, I have learned to recognise the early signs now and increase those anti virals as soon as I notice! Take care and rest rest rest, sending gentle hugs 🤗

So glad you're starting to improve... I know it seems to last forEVER but it won't! (Positive healing Reiki energy coming your way, I PROMISE!) I hope you're back to your smiling, pain-free self soon! Sending you loads of love & compassion! {{gentle hug}}

I had shingles but without the rash which I didn’t even know was possible. That was bad enough. I hope it eases up for you soon!

So sorry but take some comfort in knowing it will go away

Oh I feel for you Wayne, so much. I had it several years back, on my lower back, didn't know I had it till the rash appeared but for 7 solid days and nights I had excruciating non relenting pain down my right thigh. Worst pain I've ever had and I've had Rheumatoid for 32yrs. Not hung touched it, not my opiates or Amitriptyline. It wiped me out like nothing else, so please rest as much as you possibly can. ❤❤❤

I’m so sorry. I hope this passes soon.

Get well soon🌺

Bless your heart, Wayne! I had shingles a year ago and was given a prescription for an antiviral (acyclovir or valcyclovir) and went to a pain doctor who did injections in the area. Mine were on the base of my neck and head. They don’t pass the midpoint. I was fortunate because it was relatively mild. But we have a vaccine in the states which I hadn’t gotten. I could’ve kicked myself. God bless you, and if it helps try acupuncture because that worked wonders also. Prayers for a quick recovery

get better soon Wayne xx

Ohje, schrecklich. Ich hoffe das sie sich vollständig erholen. Nehmen sie sich die Zeit und die Ruhe um sich zu erholen. Grüße aus Deutschland. Und an alle die das lesen. Lasst euch impfen, ja es ist belastend und der Körper braucht nach einer Impfung auch Zeit um das zu verarbeiten. Aber alles nicht so belastend wie die Krankheit selber….😢

Oh my word Wayne 😮 I am praying that you have a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹 🙏🏽 About 6 months ago i developed pityriasis rosea (Christmas tree virus). Same family as shingles and chickenpox. Very painful 😖 Started out on my arm then underarm and spread. I took high doses of vitamin c powder, no dairy, sugar or inflammatory foods and it cleared much faster than predicted. I ditched the drugs they prescribed because it made the virus worse and prolonged it. I used to be a nurse and remember patients with shingles and can only empathize with your pain. Please take it easy, rest and focus on healing. Do find some natural remedies to include in your healing including probiotics for the antibiotics you’re taking. Vitamin C in high doses is a natural antihistamine so do take some of that if you can. Powder or liquid formula is best. ✌🏾 ❤️

Wayne, shingles and the terrible pain are no joke. Why aren't you in hospital? So sorry! Get well soon! XO

Sending healing vibes and positive energy.❤

❤❤❤

So sorry to hear this. I’ve heard it’s horrible.

Ouch!!! I am intending complete healing! So it is.

Bless your heart. I’m so sorry. The inflammation is horrific. I agree with another re: fasting. I think it helps too. Prebiotic & probiotics as well, especially with antibiotics. 💜💜💜

❤️‍🩹 Dear Wayne ~ Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry that you have shingles; so incredibly painful! I recently got a shingles vaccine (1st of 2 shots 🫡) & a tetanus shot at the same time; I was quite sick for a couple of days - but I hear getting shingles is horrific! Please take as much time as you need to heal ... ❤️‍🩹

Acupuncture helps shingle pain. The sooner you can be treated after the blisters appear of course the better it will work. I would still recommend you try it if you can find an acupuncturist. My ex-husband had one treatment about 5 days after his rash appeared. He said it really helped his pain & didn’t go back for a 2nd treatment. Gabapentin is also helpful for shingle pain. It’ll be better, just takes time.❤

Im on gabapentin a lot of it to x

I have just had them to im left with the pain is agony im 8 weeks in x

Hang in there. I’ve had it multiple times. Just know it’s going to go away

It's the epstein barr virus. Recommend reading Medical Medium books. Anthony William.

I really hope you start feeling better soon! I would imagine it is quite the literal nightmare.

Agh! This sucks! I feel awful hitting the “like” because I feel like Im “liking” this terrible news

Oh, I am so very sorry you're going thru this. Having had a _very_ bad case of chicken pox as an infant, when I was old enough for the vaccine I did not hesitate. Will not lie to anyone considering it, the injection site hurt like a beast for days, *but* even if it had hurt three times worse & three times longer it would have been easier than what our dear Wayne is now experiencing. Hope you're on the mend soon!

The incidence of shingles has increased in the past couple of years. It’s from the experimental injection.

Get better and take care.❤️🫂😘

Take care Wayne.True words, unless you’ve had shingles before don’t realize how painful it can be. The only thing I found fortunate when I had them was that at least it didn’t travel to my face and eyes where it sometimes can. That’s probably little comfort. Know from across the pond we are sending you quick recovery wishes!
