Single mom in terrible pain from genital herpes

Posted By Jj (Newcastle, UK) on 03/19/2015

I am experiencing my first ever out break of genital herpes and to say I'm in agony is an total understatement!! I have got tablets off the doctor but is there anything I can do to ease the pain as I can barely walk and being a single mum that's not good :( I am at my wit's end and just keep crying because I cannot bear the pain :(

There is a form of vaginal herpes that is a shingles outbreak called herpes zoster. It is painful like you describe. Shingles is from the chickenpox virus . Stress causes it to flare up in the form of shingles. To get immediate relief I would get some epsom salt or baking soda and put some in tub water and take some extra water with you to drink. Play some soothing music and get in the tub and cover your body up to your chin. The more of your body under the water the weaker the pain signals will be. B vitamins help reduce stress.

I would also suggest Nature's Sunshine Products VS-C formula. It is a very powerful anti-viral formula. It's very effective for shingles or any other virus.

Break open garlic supplement soft gels & squeeze the liquid onto effected area.

Is this VS-C formula product good and do you know of anyone who has taking it with success?
