Nice to see a man admit this was the worst pain experienced. I am a shingles survivor and could not agree more.
My wife has shingles for 6 weeks now... terrible in pain... I am scared this is going to be a long recovery...... She has taken all those meds you talked about... This is the worst sickness she has ever gone through... Please Pray for her recovery...
Looking back it must be a bad memory for her.
How are you
I have it now. Definitely from stress
It's been two solid years I have used herpes herbal cleanser from @nzenjokuherbalhome I still remain herpes free. Ignorant itself is a disease
Check out Dr Eric Berg’s CZcams on shingles. I followed his recommendations and the pain went away within a couple of days. Pray she recovers soon. I just had it last month for the first time. It was awful
I pray for all who suffers from this virus. God Bless
I understand how you feel believe me, I have been through this same pain before and finding the best cure for Herpes, Shingles (HSV1&2 ) contact Dr.Ani John via CZcams channel he saved my life from this same virus I will always recommend him because he is the best herbal doctor in the world
😢i have shingles. And it hurts like hell!!
This video was good made me realize im not the only one.
I just got diagnosed myself and yeah, it hurts. Hope you get better and myself as well.
I had shingles in 2019. It felt like the longest heart attack!! It is as you described & more!! I STILL have the nerve pain & even have nerve damage. Even gabapentin doesn't always control the pain. Shingles is NO joke!!!
Agreed it’s like a 6 week continuous heart attack. My shingles was right on my chest and wrapped around my ribs and to my back. It felt like I was getting stabbed my Michael myers over and over in the chest. Gabapentin give me zero relief. I’m not sleeping at all. They refuse to give me real pain meds even though I told them that I took 2 Percocet that I had left over from a previous surgery. Gabapentin doesn’t work at all for me.
How is it going now?
Very good especially about Gabapentin. Shingles is the worst pain I have ever had. It was horrible. I'm still dealing with Shingles. I hope it will stop pretty soon. In my 5th week now.

I got in in 1979, when I was 27 years old. Lasted 2 months the bad phase and the nerve pain and numbness in my left shoulder lasted 30 years. No treatment in those days. One night my husband actually pulled me back from the balcony as I was going to throw myself off. I just couldn't stand the pain anymore. My doctor, close to retirement, said it was the worst case he had seen in all all life. Will never ever forget it. It is so common that anything that can be done to prevent it or mitigate the symptoms is great. Thank goodness there have been improvements in the 45 years since I got it.
I was once a herpes patient, but now I finally got rid of it with the help of (Dr. Ani John). He is a great traditional herbalist. the herbal medicine he sent me cured me permanently, I was cured from this same virus... You too can be cured with this same herbal remedy. Visit Dr. Ani John on CZcams channel. He is a healer
I got a shingles shot in my 60s and then the two shots at 65 and I still came down with a bad case of shingles. Likely I start the antiviral right away is the worst pain I have ever had and I’ve had kidney stones and I’ve given birth to five children with no drugs, this is no joke. I wish the commercials on TV or truthful and told you can still get shingles even if you’ve been vaccinated.
Shingrix vaccine has 90% rate against shingles which is pretty good hey! I’ve currently got shingles and wish I’d had the vaccine. Had shingles 30 years ago too.
Same! 69 and had the Shingrix shots last summer. Just learned I’ve got Shingles. Not intolerable as of yet.
Have you ever thought that possibly the shingles shot gave you.... or caused your body to react with shingles?
Wow! That’s terrible, hope you don’t get them ever again
The shot gave you shingles 🤪🤪
I just broke out with the shingles rash last week. I however felt really crappy the whole week before that. Weird headache, chills, fatigue, and muscle aches. I was convinced it was Covid. I tested negative on several Covid tests. I woke up last Friday and the left front bottom of my ribcage felt like I was punched. The pain was continuous and throbbing. I felt the area and noticed there were bumps under my left ribcage. I went to urgent Care and sure enough it was the start of the shingles. I am on day four of antiviral medication. My rash has grown considerably and it's nasty. The pain is still awful especially at night WHEN I'M TRYING TO SLEEP and in the mornings.
"I do" wish this on my worst enemy. It's miserable.
You do wish this in your worst enemy? Really
I will try to get my partner to watch this,as i have shingles now, every move i make is painful, even not moving is painful, sleeping sitting is very difficult, it's terrible, so i can't do my job. I'm sure she thinks I'm exaggerating. Thanks for sharing

Thank you for your helpful video. I just got diagnosed with Shingles today, thought it was poison ivy but nope, SHINGLES! Sorry you had to go through it yourself. God bless you & your family, & God bless everyone suffering with this wicked virus! 🙏❤
Did you have rashes or just back pain?

Try having a bath using 1 cup Epsom salt and 1 cup bi- carb soda. Use a blend of good quality essential oil of Lavender and peppermint diluted with a carrier oil and apply to painful areas. Found to be helpful, also up your vitamin c and Zinc.
I'm currently having a shingles outbreak, and I agree about the chest heart pressure and the pain. thanks for your observations.
I sure hope that you get over them quickly❤
Thank you so much. I have had shingles for around 2 months now. I am in misery as I am typing this comment. I’m so disgusted with what’s going on with me now! I can’t stop this involuntary jerking movement. I feel especially at night time my brains are going to explode. Also the itching, tingling and I have had four surgeries and 2 children, nothing can compare to the pain and suffering I’m going through.
Thanks for sharing the description of pain. I have heard that before. People don’t realize how bad it is.
Get to your doctor and get lidocaine patches they will give you some relieve but unfortunately you can only wear 3 a day for max 12 hours so pick the worst time. Have you tried gabapentin or pregabalin? Neither worked for me but does for many people I am told. I have phn for going on eight years now and although the pain lessens somewhat it is always there and even a breeze or a bra causes excruciating pain still but hey ho life goes on. Do hope you get some relief.
I understand and have experienced the same glad you have managed to get some relief.
How are you
Some people have said that putting out hydrogen peroxide on it helps relieve the pain. Also castor oil patches. soak some gauze in castor oil and apply it overnight. Cover it with plastic. You may be able to use a baby diaper.. but if it's one that soaks up all the liquid I don't see how that would work.
I’m going through this right now. I went to the ER, thinking it was my kidney before the rash broke out. I did have a UTI, so the Dr. prescribed an antibiotic and sent me home. A week later the rash started, so I went to Urgent Care and was diagnosed with Shingles. The pain hasn’t let up yet and it’s been two weeks. Taking the Gabapentin does very little. I’m still taking the antiviral medication and praying this stops soon. Kathleen A.
How are you doing now? Has the pain gone?
I am still taking medication for pain, but the rash is gone. Taking Vitamin D3, which is supposed to help. It does last for months. Pretty annoying.
I am on week 8 with trigeminal nerve shingles. This is the worst I have ever suffered. Exploding out of rhe head pain so debilitating. On my third run of valtrex. Lyrica did a bit to help but it caused increase to my peripheral neuropathy. I have had kidney stones that is nothing compared to this. Mine have crossed the midline and started to affect the other side. Pray for me. Please. Sweet Jesus.
@@faithevrlasting I so sorry you are suffering. I know what you’re going through. Prayers!💕
Yes I was recommended to use Vitamin D cream to put on the shingle rash. Also to lessen the chances of getting shingles again take vitamin D3. I am currently hospitalized went i get discharged I will start on that vitamin @@garyandkathleenaugustine5225
I think Stress is the major cause of a flare up with shingles’ every time I get stressed out about something I get shingles “ and I have been really stressed for the last couple of months…
For sure. I agree.
Yes i completely agree...
Ive had a couple flair ups with them and usually going through serious stressful ...
No fun😢
I’m 34 an was just diagnosed with shingles today lol. Was shocked to hear that with my age.
Oh a fellow young shingles-person! How was your pain levels?
I was around 32 when I first had it and since then Ive had it twice (Im 34 now).
If I get very stressed for a longer period I can be 100% sure to get cold sores and shingles. My shingle-rashes were definitely very sore but they didn't hurt at all as much as for most other people. Maybe it is because of younger age? I heard it gets more severe with age and how many times you had it before.
I am 20 and suffering from it
I'm 43 and just got over it. I'm very fortunate that I had no pain and very minimal itching. I noticed the blisters, went right to my doctor, got Valtrex, two weeks and the blisters are almost gone. Early treatment is mandatory with shingles.
Me too.The rash is irritating but if feels more internal.
I have shingles started with a sore eye then backpain then spots on my left hand side of back thought I was having heart problems with chest pain worst pain I have ever had I have all the symtons you speak about thank you
The natural herbs I ordered from herbalist dr odion help me to eliminate mine completely. Search for him on CZcams guys
Thank you for your share 👍
I am having shingles and got diagnosed 5 days ago. I m 44 years old and have auto immune disease. 2 weeks before I develops pain with left abdominal to back. When the pain starts feel like stabbing so after all of sudden I see little reddish mark on my abdominal but not big. After two days later I see more red look like patch spread most of my left tummy. It is unbeilable pain but itchy with constant back pain, leg pain. I had to run to urgent care and got antiviral VALTREX, LIDOCAINE (external cream ), CAPSAIiCIN (external cream) with iboprofen .
Today is my 6 days with shingles and still painful and develop sever headache too.
This is totally new to me but whoever has weak immune system and had chickenpox at the childhood, please talk about it before get this nasty painful disease.
Thank you so much! This was very clear and informative. You’re the first person I’ve seen that described the pain like I’m experiencing.You gained a follower. I’m glad you’re feeling better and I’m on meds and on my way.
Very well explained, clear information. Thank you very much for sharing. I feel bad you had to go thru this pain. Happy you're better !
Excellent presentation. Pain the worst ever. I was treated within 48 hrs but damage was done.
Pregabalin prescribed - Terrible reaction to it in combination with a painkiller. It shut down my gastric tract. Great difficulty swallowing both fluids and solids.
Four months later still struggling, and still have residual pain.
Very informative! You should consider doing more of this kind of content. You explain things in a way that’s really easy to understand. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Hello my dear friend 👋 have you tried natural herbs ? It works, I tried it and I was cured from This same virus within 12days with the help of Herbal Doctor Ani John on CZcams channel I’m a living testimony🙏.
Notwithstanding my having been a vegan for twelve years (I'm 75 years old), I just found your website due to my having erupted in my own case of Shingles. My case began on my forearms (yes, both sides); a friend suggested that the slight itching might be hives, something I'd heard of, but never seen. So, I went with that. Eventually, there were rashes around my waist and down my legs that made me question my first amateur diagnosis. Soon, I was getting splitting neural pains, from the top of my head to my jaw and then, the crowning glory, half (yes, only one half) of my head turned bright red, then broke out into an exciting display of blisters on the top of my nose and surrounding one eye, both of which became quite swollen, with the eye closing. Finally, after the typical 3 week waiting period with my Senior "Advantage" plan, a doctor agreed to see the old man with the funny face. And two weeks later, I'm still waiting to lose the the evidence that covers my face and eye.
So, thank you for sharing your experience with this condition. As you say, it's a painful event, and one that, if one is unlucky enough, can blind and/or follow one through the end of life. Your discussion will inform and may calm others who find themselves caught with this condition.
If this tome is annoying, at least you've gotten a new subscriber out of the experience. Thanks, again.
Thanks Chuck. We appreciate you for sharing your insight. Stay well 🌼👍🏻😊

I'm a 42 year old male who works a highly stressful job in the hospitality industry. When you described your situation it was spot on to my story. However, it spread down and traced the nerve from right palm to the right side of my scalp. It's been 8 days for me and the blisters have stabbed but the nerve pain is constant and crippling. Very serious stuff. It does feel like a pulled muscle or pinched nerve in the beginning but it is occpanied with fever so beware. Yea even at 42 years old it can happen.
I caught it at 41. Worst pain ive ever had
I'm learning now that more and more our generation are getting it and for a variety of reasons. I am still feeling the postherpetic nueroalgia now and it's still rather constant and painful.
Yea, but once you get the nerve discomfort in check, i found the other symptoms become a little more tolerable. But night time is horrible. Last night was my 1st decent night of sleep in 2 weeks
I am in my mid-60s just like you describe for a week I was so sure it was a pinched muscle went to the Emergency room they send me home "You must have pulled a muscle" Go home put in an icepack take some Tylenol...! Three days later the painful blisters started to show up all over my right hean side ribcage and back torso.
I know stress brought on my first bout of shingles. At 1st I thought I'd slept in some weird position and was having muscle cramps. I was facing a difficult eye surgery that had been postponed twice due to docs summer vacation schedules.
Originally scheduled for early May, it was finally set for early July. These postponements basically stole my whole summer. My aggravation factor was totally maxed out.
My outbreak moved from Left rear just below waistline around toward the front following hip muscle structure. Then down toward upper thigh, down to upper knee and toward mid upper inside thigh. It never blistered or broke through the skin's surface. Whole duration was 2 wks. I feel so blessed. I am an avid consumer of Vitamins and mineral supplements. Heavy on B vitamins may be what saved me. But it could have been NAC. I think having my first dance with cv19 in late March may have weakened my immunity that led to shingles.
As for the eye surgery, it was mostly successful, but my healing is ongoing, thus normal outdoor pursuits are highly discouraged. Sadly young docs think we oldsters spend our time lounging in a recliner. I'm about to go mad trying to avoid jeopardizing my eyesight.
Thanks for all this info. You answered a lot of questions I've had.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you.I have shingles now.I have a Dr. appointment today and I feel better going in more informed.
Great info presented so well. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your experience. I have not had shingles although in Jan.2022 my father did. He had his in his eye. I really appreciate your explanation of how severe the pain is. I've always heard they are painful but, your simple honest explanation resonated for me. My dad was irrationally angry with me and at the time I couldn't understand why he was acting so out of character. After listening to you I feel relieved to know that instead ofof

Hi. Thx for this. I'm at day 2 of Mt diagnosis. I started treating myself with my doctors advice on day 2. 🙃 oh boi. I'm not looking forward to this. It's on the same side as my back injury.
High carb diet throws me into an outbreak.
I get instant relief from baking soda and water .
By just take a big glass first then drinking it for a few days, bit by bit. ..have a glass on the go for a few days.
Anyone else get almost instant relief from this method.
The horrendous pain stops very quickly.
If I pay attention they will dry out in a few days.
All the best to you
and thanks for sharing info.

I am having a shingles outbreak right now :( its been hell for me. Its on the right side of my neck, right ear, and chin, and back of my head. Your video is the most informative video I have seen on Shingles. Thank you so much for your advice.
Hi Anam take care yourself I have four months with shingles and it still hurts a lot I recommend you to talk to your doctor so that he prescribes the pills for nerve pain because that pain it is terrible so far I still have those pains and I have already finished the three months of treatment of those pills for the pain I hope and you recover soon I wish you the best
@@juliopelca9385 Hello Julio, thank you so much for your kindness. I truly appreciate you reaching out. I have healed now, but I still have the scars - do you think these will go away eventually? I still feel the nerve pain in my neck every now and then. It is not overwhelming and doesn't occur in a large area - but it is like a sudden throbbing nerve pain which subsides fast but intense still. Sometimes I even get the sudden nerve pain in my upper thigh - which is so confusing because this is not where my shingles outbreak occurred. I will follow your advice and talk to my doctor soon.
@@juliopelca9385 Sorry to hear about your discomfort - feel better soon
I just got the shingles it sucks!! How long did it take to go away? I got them on the same spot as you. I even got days of work cause it looks bad
@@XxNegative1 Truly sorry that you are having a shingles outbreak. I know how painful it is. I actually started having nerve pain in my neck an entire month in advance - I simply thought I twisted my neck muscle in my sleep and ignored it. A month later - a rash appeared and then painful blisters formed. In total, the entire process took 2 weeks to heal: phase 1 is painless rash, phase 2 is painful and burning blisters pop up (took 5 days to heal after I started anti-virals), and finally scabs appear that peep off (I still have scars). Once your blisters scab - you wont feel a thing. The worst part is when the blisters pop up on your skin - feels like being pocked by hot needles. I suggest you start taking anti-virals because that helps to dry off the blisters. Dont touch the blisters - if it burn, simply rinse off with cold water and let it air dry. Start the antivirals right away and hang in there. Let me know if you have other questions.
Thanks for sharing. So glad you are recovered. I have that 10+ PHN pain after shingles. You helped me feel not alone.

Shingles to kidney stone pain is incomparable. I've had both, You do not want kidney stones.
Yes. But he is telling you.
They are different level of pain for shingles.
The pain ranges less or more with shingles.
I've had both as well.
And my shingles was and is definitely worse.
excellent description about Shingles
thanks for your video. very helpful.
Bless you’re heart🙏🏻thank you Sir
New subscriber here, thanks for this outstanding video mega thumbs up
I’ve got it now. Right hip to knee. Just had surgery 2 weeks ago and was trying to recover and then my leg began to ache. I couldn’t figure out where the pain was coming from or why! 7 days later small bumps which continued to spread and still are. Pain is unbearable! Anti viral medication and Gabapentin. Luckily had a few left over pain killers and 1 of those with the gabapentin I do get some relief. If you’re reading this and suffering call your doctor! This is no joke and no one deserves to suffer. Thanks for sharing your story. Glad I found you.
Did you make a full recovery?
My husband had shingles for years. Periodically, throughout the year, he would have a terrible, painful attack. Then he became a vegetarian and the symptoms went away completely. He never had a shingles attack again. No physician will listen to me when I tell them this. They act like it's "quackery." It inspired me to go vegetarian myself (I do eat dairy and fish). Every chronic ailment I had went away, too, and has never returned. I believe that the contaminants (man-made) in beef/pork/lamb/ poultry are poisoning many of us. Do I miss meat and poultry? (I used to love a great steak and roast chicken, like most people do.) But now I can't stand to eat any form of animal flesh, except, once or twice a week I'll have some tuna or salmon and I eat eggs. For years - I've been healthy and symptom/pain free.
The carnivore diet videos tell a very different story.
As my doctor says, if it works for you, keep doing it!
Interesting information. Thanks
Brilliant video thank you 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I’m 29 I experiencing shingles to this day ….I had no idea what this was .till I saw vid and everything thing you just said was exactly what I’m going through .I can’t imagine the worst cases
I just met a person that suffers from shingles, it affected her face. and she has had this condition for 23 years!
I have no knowledge of this condition so I couldn't offer her any solutions. Sounds so horrible.
She makes herself busy with volunteer work to deal with her pain.
In other words, she believes you can't hold two thoughts in your mind at the same time, I suppose.
Thanks for the knowledge!
God bless that lady! 🙏❤
Poor lady
Very helpful thanks ,All the very best frm England
Im in my 30s and on day 4 of having shingles... its some of the worst pain ive ever had. I have flu like symptoms for 24 hours now and feels like its getting worse! its not just on the surface of my skin, which I can deal with, its deep in my body and aching me all over. thankfully I caught it on day 2 and got some meds for it so lets hope it starts to feel better!
Mine started with pain in my right hip. I was applying heat packs and thought I had given myself 2nd degree burns when the blisters emerged. Meanwhile I was touching them and it spread as I was unaware I had shingles. I am in the middle of it now and feel like I’m in hell. Yes I would compare the pain with childbirth 😢
Put aloe gel this help very well,I put this and heal in one week,but my Doctor has made 7interven for clean the inflammation of shingles,and I am ok now.
@@domenicagiaccone4155 what did you use to help you? My daughter just on day one or two. What helps skin & pain? Thanks
@@joantiques2 I used Aloe Vera gel on the painful open sores which helped to heal the wounds. Then my doctor prescribed me antiviral medication to treat the shingles. After a week I was told by my doctor in Italy to go to a day hospital, which they gave me for seven days antiviral intravenous injections.
Good video, I’m on the shingles bus too and your descriptions are right on. Ouch !
Many people get shingles on both sides of their bodies. I've had it on both sides, and my doctor told me that many of his patients also get them on both sides.
Eating a plant-based diet rich in nutrients is great, but my plant-based doc told me to stay away from cruciferous veggies and high-sugar fruits as well as black beans and kidney beans. He said to eat white beans, lots of dark leafy greens, and potatoes. He advised limiting my grain intake.
When I followed his advice, my shingles dissipated right away. One thing that really helped with the mental anguish was eating lots of mushrooms. Sounds odd, but it worked for me.

Thank you for sharing this. My mom is currently experiencing shingles for the first time. She is severely disabled after suffering two major strokes, & I am her full time caregiver. I make all the meals, so this is extremely helpful to know which foods I should avoid. She eats black beans about 3 times a week so I will be removing that from our diet for a bit to see if it helps while adding in more leafy greens & potato. She loves mushrooms as well, so might as well give that a go too. Lol.
All I've heard about legumes (beans) is they are ALL good. Just avoid sugar, Brussel sprouts, chocolate, caffeine, .
What type of mushrooms ??
@@dalvarad87 Yes, I had shingles on both sides of my body at the same time as well as on my back and all over my front. Not fun at all!
I had shingles in my 20s...left upper back and shoulder, and you're right..WOW the pain. I still remember not being able to wear bra or even a shirt over my shoulder. Thankfully it was summer and I could wear strapless tops! Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to leave the house! Glad you made it through! When mine started, I knew right away what it was (lots of pain early on) because my dad had had it on his forehead. Yes, we were worried. This was 50 years ago for me...not a lot of treatment for it back then!

I got shingles about 5/6 weeks ago. I’m on a targeted therapy treatment for metastatic breast cancer and had a mastectomy about 16 months ago and I understand that shingles can be common in people with a low immune system. Before the rash appeared I had pain all across my chest and ribs on the operated side and generally felt bad. I thought my tumours had come back but it proved to be shingles, so while better than the alternative, it has been very very painful as it spread across the scar tissue from the mastectomy. The rash has almost totally cleared up now but I’m still having the stabbing pains which is not fun. I just hope I never get it again. I’m glad to hear you have recovered from it now and thanks for sharing your experience of it.
Same here every thing you describe happen to me. Doing better now once I started the treatment for shingles.
@Terri, hoping you feel much better soon now that you’ve started the treatment 😊
@@maver1706 Thank you. I am doing much better. And I appreciate you asking.❤️
Perfect description of shingles . I'm going through it right now and it ain't no fun .
Is it better now?
Getting shingles is no walk in the park. Having known people who had it, I got Shingrix 2 years ago. Thank you for taking the time, going into details to educate and warn us. It is so nice to see you Chuck, knowing you are fully recovered!

You may have had a mild case of chicken pox as a child. You do need that in your past to get shingles.
I too have never had chicken pox as both my parents will attest. I have shingles now. Day 7.
I had it about 46-47 years old. I was lucky but it was on my face and of course that was a risk. They gave an antiviral. I did well and thank God no lingering pain.

I found out definitively by having a Varicella- Zoster Ab IgG lab test. It came back as positive for IgG antibodies specific to VZV. I had no symptoms of chicken pox, but my siblings had chicken pox.

Thank you for the information. My husband and I got our first Shingrix shots today
I had it in my 30's. It was horrible. I'm 63 and have never had it since, thankfully. I didn't find out what it was until after it was over. I went to a Dermatologist because it left me with scars and he told me that's what it was. You pretty much described what I went through to a tee, except I also had a fever. Very painful for sure.

I hate that they say it’s “older people” that get shingles
I’ve heard of so many people getting it in their 20s 30s 40s.
Maybe the shingles vaccine should be offered to every adult. Offered, not forced.
I have it right now! On my neck/under chin area. I have nerve pain behind my ear and down the back of my neck. My ear hurts. And nervevosun on the right side of my scalp. It's burning. Sensitive to touch and cold fingers. I'm 41. Just had a annual exam and couldn't feel better. My labs were stellar. Mammogram perfect. Pap smear, perfect..... then I get shingles out of no where. Stress! But I really feel fine.
Hi Chuck... my husband just had a mild bout that turned out to be shingles, and also didn't know he had anything until a scab formed on his back, about where yours was, and about the same size. Thanks for your advice and sharing.
I know they say you can never have shingles on both sides but I did. It was the third time I'd had them. Neither of the first two times was very bad. The third time was not a patch but a straight line on each side of my chest. Yes it came in waves and also gave me a bad headache.
My 17 year old grandson got chicken pox from me. He was also very sick.
Before you broke out with shingles did you have the shingles vaccine?
Into my 18 th day with the painful horrible Shingles. Thanks for your video
Glad I found this video. I am on week 5 post Shingles. Your scale of 15 is may be, on the soft side. My entire right side rib cage was affected. It has been H.*LL . . . . . . I wouldn't wish this on anyone. I will be looking at the vaccine in order to prevent a recurrence.
I'm 42 and have it now on my genitals and buttox and I feel crap I'm female so as u can imagine not nice to have these blisters in this area, the pain is about 7 but the headache and chills I have is the worse, I'm unable to sleep but I'm so tired I'm glad your better now
Sp sorry!

I got shingles when I was 8. I'm 33 now. I'm so scared to get it again. It was a horrible experience. I had a rash on my torso from my belly button to my spine on my right side. I appreciate the video. I subscribed and will check out other videos.
Get the Vax anyway, unless at least a few Dr opinions highly recommend against it. Try and fight it from returning. Or PHN from being so bad.
And don't be afraid of taking GABAPENTIN. It's not bad.
Thank u so much for the knowledge super helpful
I’m glad you did this video because children can die from chick pox. It’s no laughing matter I lost a niece who was sent home with slight fever . Her fever shot up and she had a convulsion. And she died in the hospital doctors couldn’t save her she was 9 months old. If you have shingles stay away from children it’s contagious to the kids that never had chicken pox
Hey Chuck I'm glad you are feeling better, I have had shingles 3 times and I must say milder than you, but still not fun, my doctor says take the vaccine and I guess I will, fun fact I had shingles before I became plant based vegan which was 12 years ago, I think my immune system is much better now. I also did the potato rolls for Thanksgiving, they where great! Thanks for being you and all you do!

First if all ... ONE IN THREE PEOPLE GET THIS! GET THE VAX BEFORE TOO LATE. TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO DO THE SAME. Especially men, as you guys just do not have the pain threshold we ladies have. It seems.
Been a pescaterian for 30+ years. Very well rounded diet.
Never smoked. Anything. Never overweight. Rarely ever have had alcohol. Etc.
I would have had the Vax anyway, had my primary care doctor ever mentioned it !! But she was too busy trying to push me to take statins ( extremely not needed by me...seems she was reading someone else's blood work).
My prelude to full blown facial, ear shingles was weeks of a one sided sore throat. Still treating that. But spraying lidocaine with iodine I finally added at my own risk, and one pain over with.
Visit to a clinic, and REQUEST for TESTING was ignored!! Misdiagnosed completely opposite of Rxs I needed.
I was and am quite sick. Pull myself together at times. Very hard to sleep. Very hard to get well from anything without sleep.
I'm sort of anti Vax. But this has me convinced my immune system is not what it was. I'll have both the China virus shots AND for post shingles as soon as I can. At least my eye is OK, so far. Too little hearing to worry about anything but constant, plus nerve 'zinger' pain in it.
One of the unluckiest people in the world 😩 only 4% get it twice and you’ve managed to get it 3 times 😩😩😩
Anybody dealing with shingles currently, here's a couple tips to help with itch: calamine lotion (obviously), fill a spray bottle with apple cider vinegar and give it a spritz every now and then. And if the itch is really bad, drag a cold scratchy wash cloth across it. The feeling is ecstasy and you won't pop any of your blisters!
i really DO care if the vax weakens my immune system. if your immunity is shot it's harder to fight illnesses. glad you made it thru
Thank you for this video. I'm 39 and have almost exactly the same symptoms as you described earlier for the last ~8-9 days. Went to Urgent Care 3-4 days ago and the dr sent me home saying it "muscular." Today, went to Urgent care bc the pain would not go away. The second I saw this dr she diagnosed me with shingles within 10 seconds. Makes sense. I really hope this is just a couple weeks-type of thing and not chronic as you mentioned. Thank you again for the informative video.
How long does blisters stay
@@_pxq10 Thank god it’s over. Have faith. The blisters lasted a couple weeks but they were not as bad as some I’ve seen. The pain is what took a toll on me. 3 weeks give or take a week. Hoping for relief for everyone afflicted.
@@bruinstan22 Thanks that you actually wrote that on this thread. I'm 22 and here's hoping I have a quick recovery like yours. What medicine did they give you? I'm using aciclovir 800 right now.
@@ironicfa1389 They gave me valacyclovir but after 5-6 days it didn't really help. I requested something stronger and they gave me gabapentin which helped tremendously, but not sure if i was just already starting to get over it. symptoms diminished within the next 4-5 days of taking that. hope for a speedy recovery.
I'm going through this now, and the pain is the worst I've experienced in my life. Thanks for the info.
Sorry to hear that
I’m in the most pain I ever had
How long does blisters stay
@@_pxq10 i still have some since Jan.26!!
@@ec1582 does it pain,like at the peak
I am in my third week of Shingles on my leg. I have been taking tart cherry juice, ginger, and turmeric to help with the healing and to reduce the pain.
I am in my 3 week and using the same remedies like you. The pain it’s unbearable, very healthy at 67.
How do you take the turmeric and ginger? Capsules or the root? Dosage? How much cherry juice?
Chuck, I enjoyed your video. My husband was just diagnosed with shingles today. He had been complaining of back pain, and then he developed a shingles breakout on his lower back. He immediately got a shingles shot. I don’t know if it will help the virus from getting worse. He is on antibiotic and some kind of cream. I had not idea how painful it is. I am going to get a shingles vaccination tomorrow, I had chickenpox but I sure don’t want shingles.
This was very helpful. I'm looking for ways to help my mum with hers, she's in a lot of pain and drs haven't been of much help.
This pain feels like a million ants bitting you on the inside moving around in race cars then they pop out to the surface and start taking chunks of flesh off of you.
I had 3 children with no epidural and this pain is from the devil.
Dear Lord I have a 92-year-old mother who is still having the shingle nerve pain and you're right The devil is a lie cuz that's where it came from straight from the pits of hell
You articulated it with a perfect metaphor.
@@EAGLEYES112 sorry to hear that , my 92-year-old mother has it .
Thanks so much for telling my story exactly with shingles .. I'm still recovering... it shocked me .. I cried like a little kid with the pain ... it's been a difficult experience on top of everything else I'm dealing with in my life .. i likened it to a monster taking over and stabbing me, poking me with a hot pointy object, and try to pull off my arm and crushing my right shoulder . Mine was under my right arm pit, my upper mid back, and down my arm ... I can't think of anything more evil .. your explanation is thorough .. it made me feel better that I'm not alone in this ..
How are you feeling?
Please get your doctor to identify the type of shingles you have. Mine is on my face and affects my eyes, ears and sinus. I thought I had a cold with my snot burning my nose, causing blisters on my nose and upper lip. It was not painful other than open blisters on my face.
Thankfully I mentioned these blisters to my doctor who got upset and explained to me how dangerous it was. He said I was to be at his office immediately the next time it starts for medication and treatment. Glad I said something.
Have it checked if you suspect it is shingles. There are many types.
Thanks for sharing, Chuck. Sorry you had to go through this and I will definitely be getting the Shingrix vaccine.
I'm day 3, my rash is coming out and it's so painful to the point I can't put my clothes on, the rubbing pain is horrible but to me my non stop back n chest pain is unreal .Thank you for your advice.
Interested to know if you ever fully healed?
I’m only 32 and mostly healthy. Im a mother, so stressed a lot. I have shingles on my face and it’s been the worst Illness I’ve ever had. The pain in my head was unbearable. I went in to urgent care and ER and had ct scan and tests…They couldn’t figure out what was wrong even with the rash beginning. I finally diagnosed myself and went to to talk to my doctor who agreed and I went to ophthalmologist right after. It’s on my eye. My blisters are on my scalp and face and it’s painful. Everything you described about the pain is true.
Hello B, I am an expat living in China and I’m going through 100% same as you, same things happened. I had it last week near my eye and scalp. After I started the strong antiviral medicine called Zostex Brivudine I started to getting better after 3 days. Today is the 5th day and I’m feeling much better. You need plenty of rest and keep yourself relax, calm don’t panic. Quickly start the antiviral medicine that attacks the herpes zoster.
For the record I’m 31 years old male. I thought I was living very healthy but I also had a lot of stress. Get all your vitamins and minerals + sunlight (vitamin D). I use natural sources and some supplement for C and B12.
How is your eye?
How you doing now? Exact same thing is happening to me right now
Are there any creams or ointments that help soothe? If anyone knows of any items to use or soaps please advise. Do people put bandage cloths over the areas? Asking for my 39 yr old daughter that is on day 1 or 2. TY
i just got that crap last week. i treated the blistering rash with manuka honey and 100% pure aloe and coconut oil. that helped that part tremendously well. but the nerve pain was epiC and relentless. actually as counterintuitive as it sounds , hot water or a heating pad gave the best and fastest relief from that gripping pain. at first the water hurts but only for a second or two, then the heat imediatly starts relaxing that grip. im in about day 8 or 9 now and the nerve pain is the biggest problem. it made my whole abdomen hurt . for sure ,some of the worst pain one will ever feel. i had kidney stones. id do that again before this. ouchety....hope the aloe and manuka honey mix can help someone. the hot water thing will take courage but does work.
How are you pain free?
I was minding my own business when I was struck excruciating pain in my left ankle. I had been cutting the grass and came in the house to take a breather. I started to get up and I couldn’t put weight on my foot. I hadn’t turned my ankle, nothing I could think off. The pain kept building until I could hardly catch my breath. I kept thinking, I need to get ahold of this because my heart was feeling like a rabbit in my chest. My granddaughter helped me to the couch. I couldn’t get comfortable for a moment. I felt like the only thing that would help was a shot of morphine! I couldn’t stay on the couch. I ask for a couple towels to cushion my knees and crawled to my stairs to my bedroom. The final challenge was getting on my high bed. I was crying an praying. I must have dozed off. 3 am, I woke with fever and pain. My entire body was hot. The pain had dulled to about an 8 on a 1-10 scale. Btw: I’ve had four babies and the pain was =. By this time I could (barely) get to the bathroom. That’s when I discovered a small patch of blisters on my “right” hip. Huh? Made no sense. I considered I may have picked up poison ivy while working in my yard? Crazy. Day six, I sent a picture of the blisters to my Daughter. My son-in- law immediately recognized it as shingles. Thanks for your video. I know my prayers were answered.
Mine started with a backache that lasted a week and a few days. It was so bad it kept me from sleeping for most of that time. My doctor thought it was an arthritis flare but then the rash appeared …
Thanks for info on Gabapentin I'm currently on it for shingles but my doctor never explained how to come off it.
Thanks for the info

WITH A JOYFUL HEART ❤️ I THANK DOCTOR ANI JOHN ON CZcams FOR ELIMINATING MY SHINGLES VIRUS WITH HIS NATURAL HERBS 🌿🙏❤️
Very helpful information! Thank you so much for sharing your shingles experience. Two of my friends got it. One on her eye and the other on the side of her face. Her face is now paralyzed on the right side. Please get your shingles shot. I did not get mine although my eldest daughter begged me to get it and now, I am suffering the consequences. It's no joke. It is so painful. I too thought I was having a stroke when i felt the stabbing pain on my right side and ribs. The shots are out there! Do it! I also suffer from heart disease and am 74 years of age. This is nothing to fool around with and is preventable.
Your friend may got ramsey hunt syndrome
Some people get the vaccine and still get it.
You didn't mention getting shingles on your head, which is where I got it. On the left side of my head, under my hair, and the rash/sores traveled down my left ear and behind, down my neck and under my chin. Very painful, but I'm on the medications you mentioned, which are helping. I appreciate your information on getting off of gabapentin, especially. Thank you for sharing!
Pain started about 10 days ago, spots started 7 days ago, from spine around left side to belly button! Pain is miserable, but Tylenol helps somewhat.
THANK YOU FOR VALUABLE INFORMATION SIR....
Don’t give up my friend there’s a permanent solution to your problem visit Doctor Ani John on CZcams channel he cured mine completely with natural remedies
Pray that you never get it on your scalp. It can cause blindness, deafness, brain swelling ( encephalitis ). The headaches that it causes are like stabbing pains every few seconds that are only relieved by keeping an ice pack on your head all the time.
Btw, shingles are brought on by stress ( for those who have had chicken pox before ).
