Hi Neville,
I had a nasty bout of shingles and PHN (post herpetic neuralgia) last fall.
There's a whole thread with great info over at the lymestrategies group.
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/lymestrategies/
It might be worth joining just to check the archives.
Here's what I remember off the top of my head:
L-Lysine helps a lot! I'm taking it permanently now, and once in a while if I
feel even a trace of the old itch I double it. Many shingles veterans do this.
Avoid legumes for a while, though, because as high as they are in L-Lysine,
they're also high in L-argenine, which herpes zoster LOVES. You want to reduce
that.
I drank a few 1oz doses of CS per day.
I misted several things on my back:
diluted Hydrogen peroxide,
CS,
dissolved neurontin in vodka ( or use very high proof alcohol) Seemed to help
the nerve pain.
Used in rotation they killed some of the pathogens and helped speed up the
blisters to drying out.
Do whatever you can to reduce stress or even stressful thoughts, as shingles
feeds on that.
CVS makes a cooling pad that draws heat from the body.(you don't have to
refrigerate it.) I got two to keep in rotation and that helped a lot.
When I remember anything else, I'll post. You really don't want PHN to set in,
as that can become a chronic and make life simply not worth living. Do whatever
you can to boost the immune system to fight that.
Be well,
Léna
