I’m 63 y/o and currently have shingles…started last Sunday as pain, numbness and tingling sensation on my right upper back, up my right shoulder, upper right arm posteriorly to my rt elbow, rt chest and arm pit…the rashes and blisters came out Thursday, then I realized I have shingles! I immediately booked an appt with my PCP who recommended I go to urgent care…I went to the ED instead! I’m on antivirals, Gabapentin, and Codeine. Pain is intense for me…I have a high pain tolerance but this is something else! One other thing, I have right occipital neuralgia too that I think was triggered by this stress brought on by shingles…I am now advising my friends to get the shingles vaccine …can’t wait to get better…

My doctor miss diagnosed my shingles rash for bed bug bites and I didn't get treatment for a week later, when I went to a mentally competent doctor at the emergency room. Although the receptionist diagnosed me with shingles when she seen the rash. Over 65-year-old man sees a doctor with a painful rash you would think the doctor would know that it was shingles. I didn't know but the doctor should know more than me. I'm pissed that I didn't get diagnosed earlier. Now I may have permanent nerve damage. What really amazes me is I called several dermatologists and it would take weeks or even months to get in to see one. By that time shingles would have been all over my body. The healthcare system in the United States sucks. And the doctors are even worse.

When you say "72 hours within the onset of symptoms", do you mean 72 hours from the moment the rash physically appears? With shingles, mild symptoms present themselves up to 5 days before the rashes actually appear, e.g. mild irritation and numbness, which pretty much no one would call up their doc to examine.

I am in my late 60's and never had chicken pox, but received a shingles vaccine 3 years ago based on the doctors recommendation. I am now the proud recipient of a mild case of shingles. Bottom line: apparently some people who receive the shingles vaccine do not become immune to the disease. Just sayin'. Sometimes I really wonder about the medical community. Many very good docs out there, who have helped thousands of people. However, it's a double-edged sword in that a certain number of people would have been better off without medical information that is not fully developed (and I believe that includes most medical information).

Try to be gentle with the infected area (when inactive) and keep her away from other people with threats of chickenpox or the vaccine in either for 72 hours cause it can reawaken Shingles.

Shingles at 37 while battling the worst case of endometriosis disease that has been misdiagnosed for years and doctors have completely just looked at me like I've had 3 heads anytime I've tried to tell them what's been going on. Gynecologist, primary Care, you name it. I feel like I've been failed and abandoned by what's supposed to be medical professionalsand. After all the blood test I've done, all the pelvic transvaginal ultrasounds, pelvic scans and everything else you want to throw out there don't forget the UA's I just finally found out I have hypothyroidism which I already knew I had because I've always been a tiny girl and I put on so much weight in the last few months and it's just been an ongoing battle with my weight and I don't eat bad I'm very physical. I feel like I'm never going to get the help I need. I've been waiting on my doctor to reach back out to me just so I can get on my thyroid medication because I'm awaiting a surgery date for my very much needed hysterectomy. So with all the stress that my body has been under and every single month I lay in bed because of the endometriosis that takes me out of work takes my life away from me with heating pads on the front heating pads on the back doing everything I can possibly do to try and find some sort of comfort to get through the most horrible menstrual cycle a woman should never have to experience, it's no wonder I have shingles right now. My body's immune system has been trying to fight so many other things all at once and it has stressed out to the max and from what I'm reading I'm getting so much mixed communication about what I can eat what I can't eat what's going to cause the shingles to get worse one minute I read something that says the doctor's approved you to eat this and then I read another thing that says scientifically they found out the doctors were incorrect about that so my list of things I can eat is down to a minimum I'm literally dropping weight faster than someone that's anorexic. Nobody should ever have to go through all of this and nobody should ever have to go through as many years as it's taken me to get to where I'm at at 37 years old when I've been complaining about this now for over a decade. I get it take some times a lot of the wrong answers of trial and error to get to the right ones but the answer has been there the entire time they just wouldn't listen period no I'm not the one with the medical degree but I am the one that does listen to my body and I know my body and I know what I normally able to do and what I'm not. At 37 years old I should not be like a hermit in my room 9 to 17 days out of every single month dealing with what I'm dealing with because of this endometriosis. oh unless not forget the thyroid that I've been getting tested for for I don't even know how long now and I knew there was something wrong with my thyroid . Example in September recently I had blood work done for my thyroid by my primary care doctor period my primary care doctor said that my thyroid was borderline but not enough to be on medication. Fast forward a month and a half later at my gynecologist appointment trying to get my hysterectomy scheduled and my thyroid is over highly elevated and I need thyroid medication. I'm just so beside myself it's no wonder I'm suffering through this right now and it's very depressing and I'm breaking down as I try to say this right now because it is emotionally draining and stressful and it's probably not the best thing that I'm stressing out or crying about this now but I have shingles on my face all the way down the left side covering my entire left side of my scalp which is where it started. I thought it was just dandruff it first and it started out as the front of the left side of my forehead just feeling tender and then my left eyebrow started to swell but was no change of color to my skin yet then my eyeball started to hurt just the whole eyeball, within a matter of 2 days after having my 15-year-old look at the top of my head for me I ended up with it all over the side of my face and I literally ended up in the hospital having to get Acyclovir & steroids & everything else you can think of oh let's not forget the die in the eye and the ultraviolet light because then they found them in my left eyeball period but I went to a specialist that day and he says that they're not in my eyeball but I feel them there. now I feel like I'm going to have to go back to the ER and subject myself of being around covid people while my immune system is at its lowest hoping I don't lose my eyesight or my hearing because of this. To anyone out there who's dealing with this, I feel for you and you are so not alone😭

@tarable23 I am sooo sorry you've gone thru hell all these years. I know what's it's like to live in feat of your own body. The doctors lied to me too and said it was a canker sore. There are millions of people suffering in silence. There is a solution a holistic herbal one. Step 1 Research Dr. Sebi and fasting & healing. Step 2 Do a alkaline liquid fast and take your herbal cleansing supplements. Step 3 stay away from sugar white flour foods and other acidic foods. Eat foods which flight dis-ease. When u fast u give ur body a break from digestion and activate healing. Your body eats the fat then anything foreign to it such as diseases. When I went thru my fast I knew it was working because even tho I was breaking out aka Cleansing. I saw that the breakouts minimized until they disappeared. I haven't had problems since then. Dr. Sebi was the only holistic healer to prove he cured aids, cancer, herpes, ect and walk out the NY Supreme Court. He was assassined in 2016 but his 1st wife still manufactures their original formula. Look up "The Fig Tree'... Jah Blessings, you gotta go thru hell to get to heaven sometimes

[@tinaivastanin718]

A client I had (who passed a decade ago), broke out w shingles on his eye. The primary was concerned w a secondary infection due to rubbing and prescribed eye drops. The rash cleared in about three weeks-but the pain raged on for about a year. The man had osteoarthritis but was not on steroids. He did have other underlying disease conditions, such as DMII. I think he was subsequently prescribed Neurontin. The horrible thing was it always seemed to 'attack' at bedtime-this would interfere w rest and cause a domino effect on the other conditions. It was miserable! The commercial is calling it, "Shingles doesn't care!" I started my vacs.

The one effective remedy for me ,, was the application of Colloidal Silver to the rash. I found it to be effective in pain relief & it also helps the healing process of the blisters. Also , it is critical , that the Colloidal Silver quality should be a high % concentration in distilled water. No claim CS is a cure "but" helps reduce pain & improves skin recovery through disinfection.

Three days ago I was diagnosed with Shingles. Fun fact: I’ve never had chicken pox. Healthy, not on any of the drugs mentioned, haven’t even had a cold in over 10 years. And, it’s on my butt. Luckily it’s been very mild so far but the sciatic nerve is very tingly. As far as precursors, yep, but who knew?? Looking forward to this chapter being over and done with. BTW, why is the Zalacyclovir so damn huge??? The first few pills I had to chew 🥴 then I started chopping them up and putting the pieces in an empty capsule. Grateful the drug is available but come on.

[@jcb0818]

@Asherah 1147, why so much hate?? Just telling my story. Now that it’s over and done with, I can say that my outbreak was very very mild compared to the horror stories I’ve heard. I’ll chalk that up to my immune system. One month to the day I got my energy back and had very few blisters. No, I didn’t check to see if I could chop up the medication but that was only way I could ingest it. When I said the blisters were on my butt, they were actually on my lower back atop the gluteus maximus. I do not and did not have an STD if that’s your accusation. I completely understand how the chicken pox virus works, lying dormant, but I did not have chicken pox. That’s why it’s a ‘fun fact’. Doctors and researchers do not know everything. The last 18 months of bull sh!t that has been and is being spewed by rat bastard garden gnome Fauci (and crew) is proof just because someone has Dr. in front of their name does not mean they are god.

I was diagnosed yesterday aug 1 2019 with Shingles l, On my upper left side of face, around the eye, the brow, lid and left side forehead. Now its below the eye, eye is now swollen shut. Throughout the day i been getting pain not only in eye but left ear, left nostril, left side of jaw, left side of teeth upper and lower.. in the past couple hours im getting extreme pain in neck (no pun intended hehe) Im feeling big lumps and pain on crown of my head. Im getting Cramping stomach pain . All day i keep getting waves of feeling like im going to throw up but haven't. The blast of pain going through eye is very painful. I have a fairly high threshold for pain so i rate it about 7 possibly 8 out of 10. Years ago I had a Cesarean "C" section and a Tubal Ligation immediately afterward WITHOUT any FREEZING so i know what REAL PAIN feels like. (sorry if i made spelling errors) I don't know if im just being paranoid but i keep feeling these little itch spots on different parts of my body all day . Im so weak and tired but its hard to get real sleep because every time I move i wake in pain. I may go back to ER, this is feeling like it may be more than the typical SHINGLES virus that i been watching and listening to on KZbin and the ER doc described to me. This would not surprise me in the least. I ALWAYS seem to get the RAREST diseases and the worst possible ailments. Hahaha eeeek!!!! EXAMPLE: I have ( RP) Retinitis Pigmentosa, the RAREST form of this eye disease that has left me legally blind and partially deaf in both ears., I had a Massive Heart Attack, not just a mild or major heart attack, then i was diagnosed with some RARE Foot Disease and the list goes on and on hahaha

Seek out Prolozone therapy. Not many doctors perform this so keep due diligence searching and you may have to travel to get treatment. Plenty of videos online of and about prolozone therapy. You shouldnt need meds or pain killers if you get this done and keep maintenance. Science has shown long time PHN pain is low grade herpes infection that is active. The system will fuck you, stay away from it and their circus clown doctors and save yourself years of misery which is a huge understatement.
