just wanted to share a tip on shingles.
ive had it hit me several times over the years and always was able to recognize this symptoms and take what i needed.
last week i had an outbreak of something that was different and far more painful and it did not occur to me it was a shingles attack.
the pain was on the left side under the rib cage and it was so severe at time it took my breath away and would wake me up in the night. the standard 'sunburn' skin feeling was mild but i did notice it. it made me wonder if it was shingles but the pain that came and went on the left side that slowly grew in intensity and spasms was something i never experienced.
so after some castor oil packs and other things i tried, i went to doctor. it takes ALOT to get me to go to the doctor but i did and this is what i found out.
it was definitely a shingles outbreak. shingles live around the rib cage and go towards a nerve junction and stress or illness can make it pop to life.
the best way to determine is there is a nerve meridian down the center of the front of the body. forgive me for not using the right words or being technical but this is what i understood.
if it is shingles it will go from center of front of body to the left around back or from the center to the right around back. yes it can be head, legs, neck, etc, but the waist skin burn thing never goes all the way around the front, it is one side or the other.
she told me i needed a fancy anti viral. i told her ive always used L-lysine and it worked for me, so that is what i did with the same good results.
im just posting this cause i Never knew shingles could create such a severe pain deep inside the body. i thought it was only the skin then the blisters.
this is what i take that works every time--
1000mg L-lysine
first day take 2 in am, then 1 at lunch, 1 at dinner and 2 at bed
add in some Vit C or lipsomal Vit C
but if you cant afford the Vit C the L-lysine Will do the job.
day 2-14 take 2 in am and 1 at lunch, 1 at diner, 1 at bed.
you must take the L-lysine for a full 2 weeks, no cheating. in just 2-3 days the pain will be gone but you still have to take it for the full 2 weeks to finish it off and beat it into submission.
the stuff is cheap, stock up.
