Had shingles left neuropathy

Posted By Silentex54 (San Antonio, Tx) on 09/27/2012

I had the shingles which really shocked me. I was sitting at work one day when it felt like I had gotten bitten by a bee on my upper ear. I started getting like fever blisters on my bottom lip and inside my mouth. Then I got a big cluster of blisters right above my ear on my scalp, went to the Dr and was told I had the shingles. I started getting the sores on my face & scalp. The pain was bad and the pain medications the doctor gave me was not working.

Then I found this website. I sent my daughter to buy a bottle of L-Lysine, some Vitamin E oil, a bottle of Organic ACV and Subliminal Vitamin B complex. I took one pill of the L-Lysine (1000 mg) and less than 30 minutes the pain was gone. Unbelievable but true. Started applying a mixture of ACV with a couple of drops of Vitamin E oil onto the blisters and sores. Within a couple of days the blisters and sores were almost completely gone. I also drank 1tbs of ACV with water every 4 hrs and took the Vit B complex to help boost my system. Also didn't have any sugar nor sugar substitutes, no sodas, regular nor diet. I found through my research that the shingles virus love to feed off of sugar. So, I stayed away for it and it help me recover so much faster and also help me stop drinking sodas which aren't good for you anyway. I also, now, watch my sugar intake since I am diabetic.

Although, the shingles have gone, I am now left with the Postherpitic Neuropathy on the left side of my face. This is ten times worse pain that I have ever felt in my life. The pain is undescribable. I was given the drug Gabapectin. I currently take 1800mg per day which leaves me very tired. I can no longer work because of the pain & the meds. I have had to file for disability because Drs don't know how long it well last. Dr says it could take months to years or it may never go away. Any suggestions on how to relieve this pain would be greatly appreciated.

I was also on Gaba and it did NOTHING... I take tumeric 3 times a day and it helps... This along with high dose of vitamin c... 5 grams or more... Exc. pain reliever...

If it comes up again use licorice extract.. COMPLETELY gets rid of shingles in 3 days...

DMSO 50%/50% concoction with distilled water, applied with sterile cotton. Keep out of eyes! Stops pain, inflammation, and goes down 7 layers of skin. Make sure face is rinsed clean, and patted dry, as DMSO carries everything with it. Wait five minutes to absorb, then apply small amount of organic coconut oil on top. --T.

Please don't let a doctor talk you are anyone into getting a shingles vaccination. If you get shingles just put licorice extract on it. In three days it will be gone!!! DEAD gone!

Dear Silentex54, First off, I am very sorry to read about your neuralgic pain. I have atypical trigeminal neuralgia with pain in my teeth and lower jaw. I took Neurontin, which made me sleepy and depressed, now I am on Lyrica, which I seem to tolerate better (still, there are bad side effects) and I also take anti-depressants. I wish to go off drugs completely, because I think in the long run they can do more damage than good. There is no miracle drug or supplement which would cure neuralgia, but I find that magnesium supplements, reasonable diet and low stress (which is so hard to achieve with this condition) help me the most. Some people have been helped by acupucture, I get mixed results from it. There is an online community of people suffering from this condition and they often recommend lidocaine patches when the pain gets bad, perhaps you may want to try those, although they only treat the symptoms not the cause itself. Good luck and stay strong! Oldriska
