how do you relieve the pain from shingles?
I’m in so much pain from shingles there are blisters on my eyes and my head. I’ve been to the doctor but I’m sufffering from horrible pain is there anything I can do to get relief?
Thank you!
admin answers:
If you have shingles, you can do little except apply calamine lotion to soothe the rash and take aspirin to ease the pain. You should see your physician, however, particulary if your face is affected. The physician may prescribe a more effective analgesic. In addition, you will need professional advice on how to protect your eyes.

What are the best ways to allieviate pain from Shingles?
Our 90 year old mom is in extreme pain after her
shingles outbreak and the doctor did not know
of anything but pain pills and those make her dizzy
and she falls. We are looking for any solution
admin answers:
My Mom got shingles a few months ago and she used a combination of the pain pills (which also made her dizzy/sleepy) and Capsacin cream. Sorry, if that’s spelled wrong…but it’s the cream that’s available over the counter that’s made from hot peppers. It can be irritating too though, so go slowly, but it did help my Mom’s pain quite a bit. Good Luck to you!

Health care practitioners report that Camu-Camu has provided very effective nutritional support for Herpes virus sufferers, putting shingles into remission and actually cutting the expected flare-up time in half! In addition, common ‘cold sores’ are said to be less common, not as ‘full blown’ and resolve in one day. Shingles, is a remanifestation of the chicken pox virus in adulthood in a new form and cold sores are the result of the herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1). The herpes virus takes a number of different forms and is widespread today as a public health problem. The Epstein-Barr virus is another common form of the herpes virus which may linger in the body for years, often causing fatigue and raising the total viral load which the body must combat. Yet another form of the herpes virus is genital herpes which is caused by the herpes simplex virus 2. The principal anti-viral pharmaceutical medicine is Acyclovir® which like most pharmaceutical drugs, causes unpleasant side effects in some people.
In his Clinician’s Handbook of Natural Healing, Dr. Gary Null states that Camu-Camu has extraordinary medicinal properties and is the most potent of herbs that contain phytochemicals with antiherpes properties. He says that Camu-Camu helps to strengthen the immune system, and maintain healthy gums, eyes and skin and offers support for people who have the hepatitis virus. All forms of the herpes virus lay dormant at the base of the spine and become active when the immune system is stressed beyond its ability to respond effectively. Common stressors include insufficient rest, prescription drugs, emotional upsets, poor diet, menstrual periods, vaginal yeast infections, and too much sunlight on the skin. Genital herpes is usually transmitted sexually. In addition, Null lists disease conditions and the herbs that have been found effective for their health promoting properties in reference to specific system weaknesses and problems. In discussing the holistic treatment of depression, he lists 19 plants containing chemical compounds with antidepressant properties, in order of potency Camu-Camu is no. Two on his list. Some health care practitioners have reported that Camu Camu works the same day to help relieve depression and anxiety, and they have weaned some of their patients off pharmaceutical anti-depressants. There are no side effects, such as photo-sensitivity or gastrointestinal problems, and it can be used safely in combination with pharmaceutical antidepressants. There have been no reports of its interference with the effectiveness of any pharmaceutical drugs.
Nutraceuticals/Glyconutritionals/Saccharides – It’s Role in People and Animals’ Health and Wellness
In test after test conducted at leading institutes around the world, glyconutritionals (nutraceuticals, saccharides) have been shown to lower cholesterol, increase lean muscle mass, decrease body fat, accelerate wound healing, ease allergy symptoms, and allay autoimmune diseases such as arthritis, psoriasis, and diabetes. Bacterial infections, including the recurrent ear infections that plague toddlers, often respond remarkably to saccharides, as do many viruses–from the common cold to the flu, from herpes to HIV. The debilitating symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and Gulf War syndrome frequently abate after adding saccharides. Go-ji juice from the Himalayan mountains are one of the richest source of saccharides. More
David L. Hoffman writes about the shingles: “The nervous system needs as much help as it can get!” “Nervine Tonics will ‘feed’ the traumatized nerve tissue. Nervine Relaxants may ease the associated pain, but will definitely lessen associated anxiety or tension.”
