Nerve Doctor Struck with Shingles - The Nerve Doctors

[@kc135rules]

I had two former colleagues contract shingles as adults and both of them said that it was triggered by chronically high stress at work, so it was interesting to see this confirmed in your video

[@NerveDoctors]

Thanks so much for sharing that info.

[@dianekelly3452]

I had shingles for 8-1/2 years until I researched that Methotrexate was causing my outbreaks. No rheumatologist knew why I had it every week for years on both hips. When I lowered my MTX doses, the shingles was less frequent. Once I changed my diet and my doctors prescribed an increased dose of Vitamin D3 the shingles became less prominent (one hip). Then I discovered K2 helped clear up the shingles quickly, but would return in 2-4 blisters each month. Your additional treatments entice me, and encourage me to see if this controls the outbreaks entirely. I am 73 and have used Methotrexate for 22+ years. My Neurologist told my Rheumatologist that adding Prednisone and/or Arava would worsen my neuropathy. I don't like the side effects of those medicines anyway. So, thank you for your advice. You have given me some comfort to know that I can tweak my regime more so I can suppress shingles even more. My medical team of healthcare specialists have exhausted what they are permitted to reveal to me. Your experience and research allows me to be less frustrated in how to manage my particular situation. Thank you!

Lemon balm is THE BOMB for shingles. Coupled with L-Lysine, it can’t be beat. I used Urban ReLeaf Lysine & Lemon Balm Blister Soothing Gel (no connection to company) topically and both L-Lysine and lemon balm tea (yum!!) internally. Relief began immediately. Before I got the lemon balm products, I happened to have dried calendula flowers on hand. I made a tea with the flowers and dabbed the outbreaks with that. It was also quite helpful.

[@NerveDoctors]

We haven’t tried lemon balm in our formulation, but I have seen the research on it showing the efficacy for shingles pain. Thank you for bringing this up and thank you for sharing.

[@JaniceMartin-fd8mr]

I totally agree! I had recurring outbreaks of shingles for 5 years, despite daily doses of acyclovir drugs. I think I was referred to every specialist in Los Angeles and San Diego counties, with zero help. Then I read a short few sentences in an herbal magazine stating that doctors in Germany were treating chicken pox in kids with lemon balm. Hmmm, why not try it? I headed straight over to herb store and bought some. Made a carafe of lemon balm tea and drank it all the rest of the day. Wow! Next day, rash was clearly better and nearly all the pain was gone. Lysine has never seemed to help, but perhaps it was and I didn't notice. I have had low vit D levels for years, and from time to time, the dr. prescribes 5,000 iu daily, but it doesn't include K2. Clearly I need to remedy. Now I add plantain (the ground cover 'weed') and chamomile to my lemon tea. I also make 'shingles' wine, using the same herbs. It hasn't stopped the outbreaks 100% but they aren't so often, pain is much reduced and the outbreak doesn't last as long.

[@mikelund6773]

My outbreak began with horrible nightly headaches and not knowing anything of shingles, I was convinced it was a tumor🤔. Also while walking outside, the wind would blow my hair and it felt like they were breaking pieces of glass. Still not putting 2 and 2 together and even if I had, I never got the blisters so it wasn't a routine outbreak. The dermatologist diagnosed it, put me on Valeclyclovir, the shingles did go into my eye followed by another round of the "V" drug plus prednisone in my eye. And yes, for 18 months I've been dealing with post herpetic pain and trying to mend the damaged nerves by putting to use the Nerve Doctors advice. I gave up sugar 3 months ago to limit inflammation and am taking Nuphoria with Lions Mane and cautiously am noticing a very slight improvement. I'm committed to this coarse and will let you know how it goes. Also, as is commonly said, I was greatly stressed prior to outbreak and the mysterious symptoms and my imagination only made it worse. Hope this helps as my beginning shingles didn't fit the pattern.

Shingles is very common due to many people now having VAIDS.

[@NerveDoctors]

Unfortunately, it is.

[@deborahwilcox5716]

Wow, never heard of this. I never took the Covid vaccines because my body is sensitive. I also found out recently that I have autoimmune issues. I m hoping I can build up my immune system soon

[@lupemosqueda1928]

I came down with shingles Mother's Day weekend. Finally, a few days before Father's Day, my doctor said my shingles were dried up. He asked if I had pain and gave me a prescription for Gabapentin. Works some. I wish there was something stronger. Would getting in a pool hurt? Chlorine water?

[@jamsseastwood3093]

My first shingles out break was in August of 1988. Since then I have had outbreaks every two to three weeks. Raw vegetables are the main triggers, but also anything that affects my immune system. food dyes and additives. Cancer treatment drugs and contrast compounds etc. The covid 19 vaccine lessened the symptoms, which returned when I took the shingles vaccine. I have not found very much information on recurring shingles. I am now eating a mostly carnivore diet, but cancer treatment cause me trouble..

[@corinneyeager]

❤i use a 9volt battery rub around the area or get wires hooked up to it and run around for about 5 min. .the sooner the better. If blistered allready the blisters will dry up and no more pain. If as you feel them coming on you get it early and it wont blister. No more pain Dont worry ,most people think im nuts....but some have tried it to find out it works...now THEY are the nuts telling others....

[@NerveDoctors]

That's awesome!

[@CroisMoi]

I'm an acupuncturist, and I don't think you're nuts. When you stimulate an area of the body, the blood flow improves. Your body is then able to send in more immune cells to heal the area. You could also do massage, or acupuncture. I'm glad that works for you.

[@cog4life]

Chronic stress/Hashimoto’s. RIGHT NOW: x 7 days. On meds x 4 days. Affecting the Large (sciatic) nerve from lower back thru hip and all the way down the leg to my foot. It’s been horrible!!!!! Only 2 lesions tho so far. 🤞🏼One of the worst things ever. I hope it doesn’t last too long!

[@DTGrosz]

What are the side effects of the shingles vaccine?

[@NerveDoctors]

This is what has been reported by the CDC: Pain, redness and swelling at the injection site. Muscle pain, tiredness, headache, shivering, fever, upset stomach, nausea, dizziness. Side effects have been reported as worse after receiving the second dose of Shingrix.

[@danamarie7993]

Is it possible to have oral shingles? Since covid in 2020 I have had 36 bouts on the roof of my mouth. The left side. The pain is bad but how it makes me feel is even worse. Thanks for the video. 😊

[@NerveDoctors]

Yes, unfortunately there is such a thing as oral shingles. You can use the same protocol that we outlined in this video, but not all essential oils can be used orally.

Did not have chicken pox as a child. I'm 74 years old. Immune system compromised from stress. Pain right side lower back. Thought it was a cracked rib. Chiropractor dx possible shingles. No rash. MD offered steroids. No way was I going to compromise my immune system any more. Sorry to hear about your dx. Ice applied to the area only relief for lightning pain that paralyzed me.

[@NerveDoctors]

Good for you for refusing the steroid. So, one thing I neglected to mention in this video is that although most people with shingles get it because they did have chicken pox, people like yourself can still get shingles if they've come in contact with someone who was in the active shedding phase of their shingles outbreak. Thanks for sharing.

[@CroisMoi]

@@NerveDoctors This is a great video. I think most people do not know to avoid contact with shingles sores. My mom had shingles and they put her in an isolation room in the hospital. They would not touch her, or anything around her without gloves. They did not want to even breathe her air. The people who work at hospitals are amazing souls. Of course, I did not know all this, but somehow managed to escape getting the shingles.

Sir please tell me that my mother has a very low platelets and tlc.and now a days she is suffering rectal bleeding.what can I do for her.

[@nadpillay6219]

Kindly take her for a colonoscopy.

[@NerveDoctors]

The first thing you need to do is get your mom to a doctor immediately, to avoid severe anemia. The next thing is identify what's causing the low platelet count. To increase platelets naturally, research has shown taking folate, vitamin B12, and vitamin C will elevate platelets along with chlorophyl, colostrum and papaya leaf extract. However, none of these will elevate her platelets fast enough to stop bleeding, so please make sure your mom gets medical attention.

Why would you laugh? Many people had to get the shot because they would have lost their job... very sad 😔

[@Gregory_TheWatchman]

My question is simply, "why the sudden increase in shingles?". From some of my own personal studies, our natural food supply is being compromised. The soils that our foods are grown in, are highly depleted of the nutrients that were once in the soils many years ago. From the 1920's, '30's, '40's and such, the soils were much more dense in proper nutrients. Now, everything is sprayed with pesticides, herbicides, etc., and the soils are simply not the same. So, if we aren't supplementing with the right vitamins and herbs, including herbal teas, I believe those deficiencies will definitely affect our immunities. This was a great video and hosted a wealth of information. Thank you for sharing.

[@NerveDoctors]

Great question and you are on target. Yes, today we don't receive the same nutrient content in our foods as we did 100 years ago for the exact reasons you mentioned along with the failure of appropriate crop rotation and commercial farming. Also, people no longer get enough sleep, which is imperative for a healthy immune system and do very little to dissipate the constant stress in their lives that they're bombarded with. When I ask my average patient what they do for stress relief, they'll tell me they watch TV. This will not decrease stress. On the contrary, research has shown that it can drastically raise cortisol levels.

[@Frontier2022]

[@ladyalexander2003]

You just went up in my estimation another 100% for rescuing & helping needy animals as well as advising people! I’m noticing many pets are now getting similar Symptoms and many after vaccines are developing Immune disorders skin rashes hair loss and many other symptoms! In 2019 I was maliciously poisoned and had to search a lot of remedies to heal my body even though we got a lot of animals in the vets poisoned I had no idea how long the Symptoms or pain would last! I had to pay for my own toxicology tests and found I’d developed auto immune disorders 100 food allergies and Cushing’s disease - High cortisol from the stress! Had also gluten and wheat allergies and my VitD was down 80% - our British health care system seemingly missed all those including heart attacks on the ECg and internal blood loss! Spirulena and chlorella helps detox the body and lemon juice honey and natural yoghurt with some berries and milk thistle and slipperly elm eventually sorted the gut issues and pain went away finally after 4years! I also had high cholesterol which they put me on statins I could hardly donation for a week! Did some research found red yeast rice and plant sterols might help took them for 3 months it fell in half - next visit to GP he asked what I’d taken so I explained why I’d had to treat myself and have him all the toxicology tests I’d got done privately! So sorry that looks awful so may people are saying they got something similar after their vaccines! I believe the vaccines have been spreading zoonotic & bacterial disease amongst humans as they contain EColi mRNA and some primate kidney cells but they also make some in eggs and never bothered to test for any primate or chicken diseases! If you watch Stanley Plotkins vaccine testimony on line you will be shocked! Also the mRNA production is on YT - every single thing in those vaccines would cause an auto immune disorders & much worse! I also had high blood pressure which I treated with red onions and garlic and used turmeric as anti inflammatory as my legs awoke up due to getting no heart care I also took coenzyme q10 and quercertin and extra high strength multi vitamin & olive leaf & olive oil also helps lubricate joints! Thanks for this info I was looking for a friends dad who just had had a horrific outbreak of shingles! 🙏

[@nicoledomino390]

I have burning in my arms and legs so severe it’s like on fire. Could that be shingles because I don’t have blister on my arms and legs I filled a burning inside in my arm, boat, arms, and legs

[@NerveDoctors]

If it's occurring in both arms or legs, then it's definitely not shingles.

[@0045551]

I got the shingles virus in mid October 2021. It lasted about four months. It started with itching on my back. Then it started to blister. I had to put a towel on the bed to keep from getting puss on the sheets. The pain that I went through was almost unbearable. If that wasn't bad enough it cause me get Peripheral Neuropathy in my lower legs and feet of which I'm still fighting. I've been taking just about everything known to man. Even though it's painful I still go for walks several times a week. I've not been able to workout like I was before I got shingles. Maybe some day I'll get back in the gym.

It is so very slowly improving but signs are showing I may have it on the other side and Im terrified. First, should I be off Nuphoria gold while trying to recover from this? I stopped thinking I didnt want to promote pain by improving nerves while they are infested w zoster. 50 yr ret RN MSN here. Thinking my vit D is so low I cant heal. Will start your protocol now. using proper lysine dose, need more C and a couple other things. Anyway, glad you are doing well. Keep me in your prayers.

Got shingles in July 2023. The blisters are all gone except scars and constant pain in left shoulder where I got the shingles. I dread the bed at nights, as the pain comes on wnen I lay down and worse in the morning when I get up - I literally have to take my right hand and lift my left hand up, however, during the course of the day the pain subsides dramitacally and I have no problem performing my daily chores. Will the Nuphoria Gold heal this long lasting nerve pain?

[@NerveDoctors]

So, what we've found with Post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN), which is what you just described is that the ingredients in both Nuphoria cm Gold and Nerve Defense will help but in most cases, the nerve damage is so significant that people also need photobiomodulation. Once we utilized all three of these things then we saw reversal of PHN.

[@tamcoyle8619]

Is it just me or is this an advert? The Doc says at the beginning of the video that no matter what you do shingles doesn’t care. He was fit had a good diet but still got shingles. I am presently in my third week of shingles I was fortunate to get treatment with an anti-viral within the 72hour window. The blisters started to dry up within 2weeks. They are continuing to fade. The Doctor said there were no side affect’s to this medicine. The pain was severe however bearable with paracetamol and Hydra-codeine . Still have fatigue but managing short walks. I am 72 years old.

[@susandy8977]

I still suffer from.PHN after being struck by shingles around ny left torso in dec 2023. Stress & lack of sleep due to a persistent cough weakened my immune system. I wonder if the virus got into my right lung coz i felt there was something obstructing it that i just needed to cough out. The unbearable pain was due to what i thought was abdominal muscle spasm due to coughing. I had to be brought to ER. The most terrifying pain though that sent me screaming was the sharp stabbing pain like i was being cut by a hot seared knife. I stopped medication due to the side effects & am turning to holistic healing methids. I am 75 yrs old from the philippines where there is lots of sunshine.fortunateky, but i still take 50mg vit.D supplement among others.

SHINGLES... Aaaarrg!!! About 15 years ago, I got it... Mine came to me as a result of a few things... Starting with an inflamed Testicle, which my Doctor misdiagnosed as an Infection. He put me through 3 rounds of Antibiotics before sending me to a Urologist who instructed me to take Advil or Motrin, Anti-inflammatories... at that time, I had been diagnosed with T2 Diabetes... I was just beginning to learn about Health, but the Internet and YT had not evolved sufficiently to help when Shingles hit. Gaud! I thought I would die. Nothing seemed to work. I read that Quercetin might act as an antihistamine, so I tried that. It helped a bit, but did Nothing for the Pain... After learning what I had all that I could do was ride it out and take pain killers... Sheesh! Now, with the help of your video, I'll know what to do, should it ever appear again. Now, I have most of the substances you suggest and take 20,000 IU of Vitamin D2 Daily, along with K2 and a lot of other stuff. Thanks for sharing this information. It's very helpful 🙂

I had the pre symptoms of headache and neck pain back and forth between the right and left side for 3 years, mostly the right. Even a mild paralysis of my right eyebrow, but never a rash. Symptoms would improve with chiropractic adjustments. Most recently, a perfect adjustment on the right side woke up the nerve in my eye and all the inflammation was gone. A few INCREDIBLY stressful weeks later the symptoms showed up on the left side, and 3 days later the rash🤯 i wish MDs and chiropractors could get along. Were neck injuries on both sides a factor? Did curing the PHN with an adjustment cause it to switch sides? Os PRE herpatic neuralgia responsible for so many mystery illnesses like fibro and lyme? 🤔

I had a severe attack in February 2024. The pain lasted a whole month. I was almost begging to be sedated in hospital. Now, several months after the rash went, I am left with numbness and post-herpetic itch where the rash was (right-ribcage and lower back). It's like the itch that can never be scratched. Interesting about the vitamin D. Living in New Zealand, our sun burns fast so we tend to stay out of the sun which probably means Kiwis are amongst the lowest in vitamin D in the world.

I didn't get the shingles vaccination and do not recommend it. I don't plan on getting the vaccination. If you look at the Shingrix commercial on KZbin, you'll see in a 1 minute commercial, they spend 50 sec. reporting all the side effects associated with the vaccine. It's not worth the risk when there's safer alternatives such as L-lysine.

I also took high doses of our formula Nerve Defense (8 caps, daily) to prevent post-herpetic neuralgia.

I came down with fibromyalgia over 20 years ago. The stress of that and no viable remedies I then came down with shingles. My 1st symptom was pain in my foot and ankle like a burning skin sensation. It lasted a week and then I got a rash on my left butt cheek. I thought spider bite. Waited to go to doctor for a week but it was getting worse. He said shingles and there was nothing he could do. I continued with that every other month when my left ovary would ovulate causing a body stress. I went on like this until the 1st shingles shot years later helped a little. I took antivirals and that helped but the best was the second shingles shot about 4 years ago. I only suffer if I get overly stressed. I try to avoid stress. Limit people, news, gossip etc. I find my best pain reliever to be magnesium. I meditate, yoga, red light therapy, walking dogs, feeding wildlife, reading non stressful books etc. I do feel like I am always running a fever. I get way over heated beyond what others feel. I think that is a fever that continues to fight my shingles. Im 66. Wouldn't wish this on a single soul. Peace be with you.

I'm watching this to find out how to get off this drug, so more damage doesn't occur. Thank you, no one has talked about holistic options.

It is possible that the stress affected your nerves. That is my opinion.

[@rosaaponte661]

Well, I got diagnosed with internal shingles on May 20. I had been in pain since May 9. First thought it was stroke and then the pain got worst. Three Er visits and no answers only that my sodium was low. Long a behold I went to my old doctor out of network and he found it. I have had the shingles vaccine in 2020. It has been devastating painful. I have type I and II diabetes plus hypothyroidism. 😮 I has been painful,

[@CroisMoi]

:( I went through this with my mom. I can suggest taking high doses of B 12 liquid, and Multiple B for the immune system. As this Dr. said, olive leaf extract. I take 1-2 capsules every 2-3 hours to knock out viruses. Benfotiamine is a fat soluble vitamin that helps the nerves heal. I use Doctor's Best, 300 mg, 3x daily. I hope you feel better soon. This info is in addition to what this video says to do. You have to hit it hard. I take B 12 from Nature's Life. 2 droppers 3x daily.

[@margiemurray2147]

Thank you for sharing your information and advice. So sorry this happened to you. I noticed in some of the latest videos that it looked like something had happened. Thank you for sharing your protocol with us. I will definitely will look into that and keep that information for the future. Every day I take Anti Viral pills with all natural ingredients from a local holistic store. I had a rash on my chest area not on one on both sides saw a physician's assistant and she said oh you have a rash and gave me a prescription that was $150 for a small tube. After I picked it up and looked at all the side effects I was very sad that I used one application. Did not help. I felt like I wanted to peel off my chest from all the itching it felt like it was electrically burning from the inside out and not being able to make it stop. The first time this happened was in 2018 and every once in a while at the same time of year I still have something happen but not as bad as that first go-round. But this whole time no one has said that I had shingles. Back in 1996 I had an allergic reaction to medication that was mislabeled by the pharmacist and spent a week in the hospital and almost died. The rash all over my body that felt just like the rash that I had in 2018 but I do not know if they are connected. When I was 6 months old as a baby I developed chicken pox. It was so bad my mom put socks on my hands and I have scars to this day. I'm definitely going to reevaluate the daily amount of supplements I'm taking based on your information such as vit D ect.

[@NerveDoctors]

So sorry you went through these horrific experiences but at least now you're armed with the knowledge of what to do to stay healthy and avoid any outbreaks.

Have shingles now. Neuropathic pain. Pain 6/10. I am 50. Hope everyone gets better who gets it. Was run down from working at night cold - messed up my circadian rhythm. Last point why dog also has similar condition. Vet cant identify it. Using Abt and silvadene on dog. Luckily for me the second the blisters erupted I knew it was shingles and got Valtrex. I had the tingling pain before. Hope everyone who gets it recovers including me

[@gregmiller2905]

I watched your video and was impressed. I'm 76 very healthy workout 5 days a week and eat only whole food. With that said like you I had a combination fo lack of good sleep, heavy sunburn, and stress. With the heat in Idaho I was starting very early at the ranch building new fence when I had a land dispute (stress) I got a very sore area on my left neck (I thought was from pounding fence posts. Then I developed blisters went to a doctor and confirmed it was not sunburn but shingles. I took the medicine for about a week the blisters went away now going on 3 weeks I have nerve pain from my left ear down my neck shoulder left arm and left pictorial muscle. When I touch those spots I feel pain almost like electric shock at times. So I'm going to follow up on some of your other videos on stopping nerve pain.

[@NerveDoctors]

Hello! so sorry to hear all that you have suffered; if you are looking for supplements to repair and regenerate damaged nerves you should go to Nuphoria.com

[@NerveDoctors]

Yes, follow the recommendations in the video and it will help for sure.

[@Uneedacut]

I got mine and the most painful thing I've ever experienced. Mine was actually diagnosed as internal shingles, which turned into a phn and allodynia. I couldn't wear clothes. I had to use a shingle cream and saran wrap my torso. My doctor didn't give me the anti-virus meds, grrr. It took over a year to heal. And even today still have some stinging and burning with some electrical shocks. It was prednisone that helped me come alive again, and I did take other meds before that as well, and got the shingrix shots. It's no joke. It would be good if the doctor here could talk about the phn and allodynia. Cold 🥶 water has become my best friend that helps calm the nerves and relieves the pain. Let me add, thank u nerve doctors for it was ur channel that supplied the right nerve supplements(I use nutricost amazon to help start the process of regenerating my neuropathy in my feet amazing benefits...Lyons mane mushroom, turkey tale mushroom, alpha lypoic acid, and the berberine for diabetes... thank u so much!

[@leegrass6954]

I had shingles one time before, it was definitely due to poor diet (even though I’m a vegetarian ) and stress. I just got it again! Once again stress is a big factor for me. Something similar happened to me that happened to you with your dog. My Jack Russell also has kept me up for nights scratching. Plus I just got over Covid (first time having it) and now I am over it but I still have coughing and sinus infection remaining. I meditate too and have for decades, but the viruses just don’t care!!!!!

It's driving me nuts to stay on these meds but i am sleeping. The numbness is still there. I ordered your nerve repair with lions mane hoping to heal this nerve and get off of these meds... what are you taking for meds and or supplements to help your head?

I am curious as to why did you not recommend the shingles shot. I got the 1st shot and years later had a mild case on my right hip. My doctor wants me to get the newest version. What is your opinion?

[@NerveDoctors]

We don't recommend the vaccine. First of all it contains many toxic excipients and it comes with an extremely long list (and I do mean long) of dangerous side effects. I have not gotten the vaccine nor will I get the vaccine. Now, the good news is you have 1 year built in immunity from contracting shingles once you've had an outbreak. So, the key is to fortify your immune system and protect against future outbreaks with L-Lysine, especially when stress levels are chronically high.

Doc, I feel your pain. I had an outbreak June 2023 and I have no idea what triggered it, unless it was general stress. I just don't fit the profile. It broke out on my forehead and on the side of my nose. I thought I was having an allergic reaction (due to swelling and being too sick to take good care of myself) but after suffering staggering pain for several days my daughter bundled me off to the ER where I was prescribed the usual antiviral regime. Once I was human again I put myself on a holistic protocol similar to yours, because I was terrified of another outbreak. I do still have have scarring, but no other pertinent nerve damage. Yay. Previously I refused the 💉, but I wonder if those that did consent are still shedding spike and other bio 🧨🏹🗡️ resulting in an assault on everyone's immune system?

I'm so sorry you've been through this ordeal Wanda. If you watched the video you probably saw the research studies showing the kidney damage valacyclovir can cause, so you must protect those kidneys, at all cost. A good supplement for kidney protection is by Premier research labs called Renaven and you'll also want to get on Acetyl L Carnitine which will help protect the optic nerve and your kidneys. Hang in there.

Maybe I missed it in your presentation. Do you recommend the shingles vaccine they’re giving in local pharmacies, along with the Covid shots my doctor is still requiring for an office visit? Can you get shingles if you never got chicken pox back in the day? Are you more likely to get shingles if you have Herpes Simplex I or II? Thanks. This was a great video. I’m in my 80’s now, and have a couple of friends who have had miserable experiences with shingles. I want to avoid it if I can.

He stated in another comment that there are too many side effects. Do everything you can to boost your immune system. 50,000 Vitamin D, get in the sun, high doses vitamin C and B, quality multi vitamin, do not buy at Wal Mart. You get what you pay for. If my doctor required me to get a Covid shot to see him, I would tell him to take a flying leap.

I had a dentist botch a root canal, burning my inferior alveolar nerve with FORMALDEHYDE. I've lived with shingles like pain on my bottom lip and chin for 18 YEARS. I only wish I had a way to fix it. I take meds that take the edge off but I've very well aware of it EVERY.SINGLE.MINUTE of every waking moment. It sucks. CAN YOU HELP? Early on, I had a cream prescribed that had amitrip, lidocaine, ketamine, and gaba in it. It wasn't a solution for my problem, or even much of a relief. However, I had a fever blister years later and I used this cream and it was GONE the next day. Altho that lotion is so old it's crystallizing, I've kept it in case shingles showed up. I really need help if you think you can. I went thru years of try this, try that medications and finally stopped that torture. I am 66, don't plan on getting the shingle vaccine because I get very sick after vaccines, including flu and covid

[@NerveDoctors]

See our previous video on photobiomodulation. There's a good chance that infrared therapy can diminish the symptoms. You will need to be patients as it can take a year or longer for it to recover. I would also use a nerve support formula to assist with the nerve repair. We use Nuphoria Gold on our patients.

Do you advise getting the shingles vax? I personally did not get it or want to but curious on your thoughts

[@NerveDoctors]

Absolutely not! This vax has been linked with vaccine acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (VAIDS) and it comes with a very long list of serious side effects. Plus there are no guarantees about it's efficacy. In fact, if you watch the Shingrex commercial on you tube (for the vaccine) it's 60 seconds long. The first 10 seconds touts the vaccine and the remaining 50 seconds are spent going over all of the side effects and disclaimers. That should be a huge red flag for anyone.
