I'm 54 and in week seven and I swear sometimes I want to find a short rope and a tall tree! But I'll take your word for now that it will get better.Thanks

I’m 63 and have it now. The pain is so horrible. I’ve had severe pain now for two weeks and my job is losing patience with me. Most people that I’ve talked to think the pain should be over in two to three days. Mine is on my stomach and around my left side to the middle of my back. My insides feel like they are being wrung out like a washcloth. 😢

@@AR-ej2xw bless your heart. I’m STILL hurting and having a hard time. I pray your pain goes away soon and doesn’t stick around like mine is. My doctor said there are cases where the pain doesn’t go away.

I have had 4 babies. 3 without medication. Shingles pain is the worst pain I have ever had. I went to the doctor right away and got antiviral drugs. My doctor told me that is so important to help prevent lasting pain. I am happy to say after a month ( yes a month) I have no residual pain.

Makes sense since it's kind of related to herpes simplex. In which case I would avoid arginine (another amino acid - chocolate, eggs, nuts). Look it up.

I feel your pain. I’m 62 and have Shingles since mid October (now Nov 11). I too thought I pulled a muscle in my back and a couple days later I got a rash on my bra line under my right boob. GREAT!! SO ITCHY!!! It progressed to around my back to my spine on the right side. Calamine lotion and Tylenol were my friends until I got prescribed Lyrica for the Shingles virus and Pregabalin for nerve pain. OMG sleeping was impossible most nights. With those 2 meds I got so foggy minded and tired I did sleep when I could. Now my blisters are subsided, not itchy hardly, rash almost gone but STILL have that stupid nerve twinges/pain and for awhile under my boob I was numb! HOPEFULLY it will get back to normal in the next few weeks/months because I would NOT wish this on my worst enemy. As soon as I’m able, I’m getting the Shingrix vaccine. Take care of yourself.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Am 75 yrs old & into my 4th week recovering from shingles but the pain persists, and oh what indescribable pai Just grateful my vital signs are ok.

I just got over shingles on my face. So I made a mixture of manuka honey and beef tallow. I put this mixture on my face 24/7. It kept the pain down and the rash never blistered or scabbed over. The rash just faded and healed slowly over the month. It was so helpful. To avoid cronic ongoing nerve pain, I ate a high l'ysine diet and took alot of potent supplements. To keep healing the nerves I am taking R-alpha lipoic acid.

I'm in my first week of Shingles at the moment and due to go on holiday in a week's time, so not great timing. At almost 65 years of age, it's the first time that I've had Shingles. I had Chicken Pox almost fifty years ago. A nasty flu about 3 weeks ago is probably what took my defenses down enough to allow the varicela-zoster virus to come out from its hiding place. The other contributory factors would be age and genetics, although there may well have been other significant factors I'm not aware of. As my initial symtoms made me believe it was some kind of muscle injury (just like you described), I didn't go to see the doctor until day 5. The start of the skin rash was on day 3, which made me think it might be Shingles. I then left it a day before calling the doctor and was given an appointment for the following day. The doctor confirmed this and gave me prescription for antiviral treatment, blister spray and pain relief. I started those at the beginning of day 6, so I lost 3 days in getting treatment, but better late than never as they say... My rash is on the right side chest area and right side upper back area, with right armpit pain but no rash there. So far, it's been manageable with taking 1g of paracetamol every 4 hours - although the instructions recommends every 8 hours! I was also prescribed a stronger painkilker, but I never take anything stronger than Paracetamol or Ibuprophen. The Ibuprophen doesn't do anything for me, so I just use Paracetamol. The pain control only really lasts 2.5 hours, so of the 4 hours between doses I still experience a fair bit of pain and discomfort. I know it won't last forever, so I just have to grin and bear it, plus moan and groan quite a bit, sometimes quite loudly! So, once I'm through this I'll be asking for the Shingles vaccine, as here in Spain it's now available on the health service for people over 64. It's only been made available recently, so I wasn't aware of it until now, (too late for me this time!). I'll also take advantage of the seasonal flu vaccine next Autumn - something I've never done before. Fortunately, both of these vaccines are available for free under the Spanish health service. My current antiviral treatment isn't free, as I haven't reached pension age yet. A 21-day treatment of antiviral capsules and blister-drying spray costs 68€ with the health card, otherwise it's double that price.

I had shingles in my early 50’s. They occurred following a car accident. I didn’t get injured in the accident but the trauma (rear ended on the interstate when traffic was at a standstill) triggered them. Just a horrible experience and pain/discomfort that was indescribable. I hope as I write this on 12/17/23 that you are near 100% recovered.

Thank you! I am 50 with shingles on my scalp. It took 3 months to get diagnosed and the healing process has been very similiar to your video, except the scabbing is still extremely painful! I thought my brain was on fire and not thinking clearly. HORRIBLE! Misdiagnosed by a doctor a month into it soooo im weary of any follow-ups. Feel hopeful after watching this

You poor thing! You have really been through it with shingles. So glad you are on the mend now. I did find your channel because of your previous shingles video. I fall into the "elderly" category (age 66) you mentioned, and got shingles last month. Started as a rash that itched and then burned, and then started spreading on one side of my body. Nothing as bad as your rash, but painful nonetheless. It started on a Friday with itch and fatigue, so I missed the ideal window of 3 days for treating it with an antiviral, however by that Wednesday, my doctor prescribed the antiviral, which still helped a lot in preventing the rash from developing further. The rash took a very long time to resolve. I am now in week 6, and it is finally fading away. Takeaways: see a doctor ASAP so you can get started on an antiviral (which was easy to take - no side effects at all); cool showers, keep it clean but use a mild non-soap cleaner like Cetaphil or Cerave wash; do not touch/scratch the rash or you can potentially spread it. It is the fluid inside the blisters that can potentially make it contagious to others; if you develop nerve pain (which can be excruciating), tell your doctor so they can prescribe medication for that. I took Gabapentin for a few days, but had to stop because it caused optical migraines for me. Also if the rash continues past the 3-5 weeks that it normally takes to clear up, let your doctor know about it. If you can get the Shingles vaccine, get it. It is typically not recommended for those under 50 because it has not been tested in younger people, so FDA has not approved (yet). I have a feeling that if the number of younger people getting shingles goes up, that will change.

I got shingles too 6 months ago week of Christmas my thigh and I'm only 26! . And the rash is still there 6 months later. A friend of my neighbours daughter who was 17 got shingles too, they think it's related to the vaccine. But who knows we're so young. I didn't feel particularly stressed but was just very busy. Hope your feeling better soon!

Good video. I have Shingles right now. I'm into my fourth week. This is the worst pain I have ever had. It is getting better each day though. I took Valtrex to stop the virus from spreading any further. Gabapentin to manage the pain along with Acetaminophen and Naproxin. Get help and don't wait.

I got shingles a week ago. Very serendipitously I was at the doc for something unrelated and mentioned this new pain. I thought I had a string of bug bites - I sleep with cats. I got on an antiviral immediately the first day the red bumps appeared. A week later I think getting on the medicine right away has helped move me through what I pray is the worst of it. OMG…the pain and discomfort are horrific. Wearing a very tight tank top and binding my middle with an ace bandage has helped some. What that does is prevent my clothing for swishing around, negating that sensation, which can make you want to crawl out of your skin.

Week four. Worst experience ever. So sorry you had this. I cant wait till its over.

I take Lyrica for the nerve pain and use Cerve Anti-itch cream. If you have itching this does help. Anyhow great video. Shingles is exactly like you said.

I have shingles currently and it’s horrid! It’s day 6 for me and I can’t sleep from the pain. I’m so surprised that you still have the bumps 6 months later!!

Hey thank you for the video it was very helpful. Im having shingles right now day 6, and it totally sucks. Im in my late twenties and I regularly go to the gym too. I was wondering how long did it take you to be active in the gym again?

This is febuary 3rd and I have shingles. I will turn 60 in March. I have a great job not stressful it's actually fun. However back in October my husband was diagnosed with AML leukemia. I have been his caregiver taking care of him making sure he gets his met correct medicine taking him back and forth to some of her his chemo sessions. It has put a lot of stress on me because I'm trying to balance this and make sure I can get to work and do my job So the stress level definitely elevated. Last weekend I thought I had pulled a muscle in my back because I put on a little bit of weight from stress eating and I thought I had just been over wrong and stressed a muscle in my back. All weekend I laid on a heating pad you know I would get up and try to stretch or do something and then lay on the heating pad and it just didn't seem to be working or alleviating the pain. By Monday the pain went around my back and then it started going down my leg. It felt like somebody was taking needles and pins and just stabbing them up and down my left leg, very painful. on Monday I ended up going to the hospital because I thought I had hurt my back and maybe did something to my sciatic nerve because the pain was going down my leg my left leg. I ended up being in there Monday Tuesday and Wednesday because they were giving me I had gotten dehydrated so they were giving me fluids and steroids to try to help with the inflammation. The steroids did kind of take the pain away. So I was able to get out of the hospital on January 31st. When I got home I took a hot bath. Which shingles accelerates from the heat you don't take a hot bath. So what I got out of the bathtub I looked in the mirror and I had this rash that came around my back down my hip down the front of my belly down towards my groin down the side of my leg and it was like splotchy there wasn't there was a couple of blisters under what I call a fat flat because when I was in the hospital and getting steroids and fluids my belly just swelled up so I have this like big belly and you could lift it up it was just like a it had these little marks underneath and I'm like what is that it look like snake bites a couple of snake bites and I thought oh my god it did something getting my car and then while I was driving home it got up in my shirt and down and do that to me it was so scary . Then the rash was very splotchy like it there'd be a splotch of rash then about two or three inches another rash two or three inches another rush it was like it wasn't real steady and all together it just was splotchy and I didn't know what it was I thought could this be shingles cuz everybody seems to be coming with shingles lately. I ended up putting calamine lotion on it. We live in the country so you have to have calamine lotion in case you get into poison ivy or poison oak. So I put the, lotion on it and it was very painful I was miserable so I took some Aleve that way it could help with the inflammation. I went to work and I showed one of my good friends and coworker and she told me that kind of looks like shingles. Needless to say I was having pains under my skin. Like pins and needles and I had some numbness. so come Friday I decided I needed to go see a doctor cuz this was something very serious and I didn't know what it was it was very scary. When I show my doctor immediately said it was shingles. I have gotten medicine to treat this but I have to be very very careful because of my husband and his cancer so luckily my son and helping out with my husband because I cannot let my husband get something like this even though he's taking a lot of preventive medicine to keep him from getting anything. So I am just taking the medicine right now it's only been a week I was supposed to get a cream and then my insurance wouldn't approve it. So one of the remedies that I have done is take a cool bath in Epsom salt. And wash with mild soap and put calamine lotion on the rash. Today is Saturday and this morning I woke up with a sore throat and it has been raining all day long. I'm not sure what's going on with the sore throat but I am taking some cold and flu medication to treat that. I am hoping to be able to go back to work on Monday but I will have to just wait and see. I've been doing a lot of research about shingles and I came across your video. I am sure that mine was brought on from stress of trying to balance my work and take care of my husband while he goes through his treatments. Thank you for sharing your story.

😢😢😢Why pain doesn't go away 😢😢,on my second week with shingles and hate it 😢😢,and tnx for sharing ur experience ❤

Got them right now same as yours on my right back and under my right breast but the worst thing I’m painful and can’t talk right. But good thing I don’t have itching and I’m waiting to get an appointment bc is a day from holiday but tomorrow hopefully get it.take care

Please start taking high dose D3 with K2, C and Zinc. High levels of D3 in the cells can prevent this from happening 🙏🙏✨️✨️ My mum just had shingles, but it didn't get too crazy bad since she was already taking the above 🙏🙏

Thanks, definitely will get the vaccine.

PAIN, that is me now. I have had kidney stones which I was told was the worst pain. Compared to my current shingles, the stones were a walk in the park. On an irregular time frame, I feel as though someone is applying a cutting torch to the back of my head and face. It feels like my eye is going to pop out. As the pain session begins to subside, my lower back will spasm for 20-30 seconds. Lidocaine cream and Eucalyptus oil have helped increase the time between pain events, but not the severity of the pain. Pain killers are pretty much useless as the pain is random and by the time the meds take effect, the event is over. Into my second month now, and the pain sessions have decreased to once or twice a day. The unfortunate thing is that they are now occurring during the night vs daytime at the onset...

I had shingles about a year ago, and I got permanent nerve damage from it. I had it very much in the same area as you, a lot on my back and my armpit. Thankfully I don’t have chronic pain, but I do have numbness and scarring.

it's horrible! i've never experienced anything more painful than shingles, it's incredibly painful. it's my day 15 with shingles, the pain is so much less than before but i still can't sit or walk freely. it's horrible. i would rather want to die than experience shingles ever again. i'm trying to keep myself busy so i don't get time to overthink things and get stressed so that i never get it again. i have even deleted my social medias to keep myself safe :-)

I’m almost 3 weeks into this hell but thank goodness I got Valtrex within 12 hours of the bumps. I have it in the stomach, back, waist, and belly.

Thx for posting. I have shingles all over my arm and between my finger joints and on my breast. Man it hurts and burns. I also feel like I get “freezer burn” feeling in my elbow. I’m so tired and uncomfortable. My GP put me in lock down for a few weeks. I’m on Valtrex and oxycodone.

I currently have shingles, I’m a 66yr old female, I have the rash on my left buttock down to back of my knee. Today is day 15, the rash is drying up and scabbing over but the nerve pain now comes in periodic waves versus the constant burning needle stabbing I had for first 13 days. At week one I felt like I had the worst flu ever, temp, body aches, severe migraines and severe nerve pain. I took the antiviral for 7 days beginning on day 3. This medicine made me very sick for two days when I started it, I vomited constantly and could not keep even water down for 3 days until my body adjusted to it. I have spent a small fortune on creams, ointments, and vitamins in these 2 weeks. I wish I could say 1 medication worked but none of the creams, sprays, or ointments work for more then 1 hr to just cool skin. Lidocaine’s didn’t do anything for me, calamine I think cools the rash the best but is messy and I apply it hourly. I am taking prescription pain medication and gabapentin if I didn’t already have these for a bad spine condition I don’t know how I would have made it to day 15. I drink tons of water have minimal appetite but force myself to eat fruit, spinach omelette, or toast bread. I’m taking vitamin C, D, zinc, and L-lysine as well to boost my immune system. My rash is leaving ugly medium brown color spots, periodically I’m applying a scar gel to the darker spots that are dry. I had hip replacement surgery 6 months ago and I thought that was the most painful thing I’ve ever gone thru, but shingles nerve pain is right up there with that. I just pray this goes away soon I’m not as worried about spots or scarring as i am about not having this nerve pain. Shingles sucks, my dr advised to get the shingles vaccine once im completely over this virus, but im worried because I’ve heard some people get shingles after getting vaccinated. However my husband got his last week and is fine.

Is their anyway I can put a stop to the nerve pain, cause I can even bend and pick up stuff, it hurts a lot, the rashes is drying up gradually, but still feel pains around my Ribs

Best for itching and burning is calamine lotion. The burning sensation just goes away and the rash dries up and it won’t ooze. I’m in my third week and rash is not as bad as the nerve pain.

I have shingles right now,I’m 66 yrs old. I have it for a month now, & it’s horrible pain. I feels like burning inside where shingles are. Can’t sleep either. Tylenol helps with the pain, & able to sleep too with Tylenol.

Have you ever taken a cream/pill/injection with a steroid?

Shingles is the worst...I used high strength NZ Manuka honey directly on my rash helped heaps. Though sticky! You must get the anti viral within 72hours of onset.

Stacy it’s 3 AM and I’m up because of shingles. I have a question for you. You say it will get better but let me describe mine. I have the sunburn feeling on my entire left arm which I could deal with in the jabbing pain I can deal with but about every hour and a half or two I get a massive attack that lasts four minutes that leaves me on the floor completely wiped out my arm complete your cramps up and the pain is simply unbearable. It stops after five minutes and then I go back to a more normal feeling and then I can feel it building up again for the next attack. This is not changed over the last five weeks so I’m considering getting a nerve block and wanted to see your thoughts or should say hear your thoughts on this because you keep saying it will get better but I am afraid it is not going to, and there is no indication that it is improving. It’s been incredibly painful for the last five weeks with no improvement some nights I’ll get 22 attacks and I’m off every hour with an attack.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I know how painful it can be and hope you start feeling some relief soon!

I was just diagnosed with shingles today after having a rash on my left torso. I have experienced severe nerve pain in my left foot to the point where it is painful to walk. This is really miserable to deal with.

I’m 26 and on my first week with shingles. It’s is the worst. I have it on my left thigh near my groins going up to my hips. The pain, itching, and burning sensation is so bad and trying to walk around makes it even worse. I had the flu pretty bad last month and I swear I would much rather have that again than the shingles. I’m trying to keep my mind occupied and stay positive but the pain gets the best of me sometimes. Specially at night when I’m trying to sleep. I just hope it goes away soon.

I am day 5 of shingles and it's so painful. I am looking for any type of relief.

I have shingles internally. No rash. What to do? I am taking Valacyclovir. How do I build my body to not be seceptable

Why is it that I only find this on the downhill slide of my shingles experience? I am 70+ yrs old, healthy, active and retired for 3 yrs (thanks to Co vid😡) My dance with shingles began with what I thought was a reaction to laundry detergent due to previous experience...I preface my comments on extended review of what shingles is, where/how it manifests and visits to and communication with my doctor: #1. Shingles is only contagious to those who have never had chicken pox. Those exposed to shingles with no history of chicken pox should expect to be diagnosed with chicken pox.... #2. The pain of shingles cannot be expressed in any formation of words no matter your language. #3. There is no expected time limit.....mine has lasted for about 7 weeks and I have heard from friends where it lasted for months and some for years. I hope this sheds some light , but above all, please don't take this lightly and ask everyone you know for their experience. Especially important, seek medical advice, asap!

I have it on the left side of my face head and my eye. Hands down the worst pain Ive ever experienced. It feels like someone is digging my eye out with a spoon, while stabbing an ice pick through my head. Lots of antiviral and pain meds. I hope you never get it again.

Im recovering from it now. It broke my in the back of my head spreading down the right side of my neck and shoulder. Its horrible

I am suffering from postherpetic neuralgia, and it is awful. I am taking Gabapentin 300 mg for pain. This is my third week😢

14:04 - but don't get too much sun, sun causes shingles too

Greetings. Just getting over a bout with Shingles..... Yes! The PAIN Yes! The burning sensation Yes! The swelling Yes! The major discomfort that disrupted sleeping, elevated my pressure, and surpressed my appetite Yes! The intense itchy feeling And YES! That creepy-crawling sensation under my skin that ran along the infected area that drove me nuts! That was the worst and sleep deprived weekend I experienced, and at that point not knowing what was happening to me compounded the whole experience. After going to the ER and being diagnosed, dealing with it became less stressful. And like you, I picked up some Benadryl, pop them like m&ms and slept. Along with that was the valacyclovir anti-viral med which gave me relief!!! I would not wish this on my was enermy.

I have shingles but I never went to see a doctor and it heal in 2 weeks without treatment

I've had shingles 7 times since covid-19 an right now also its more annoying to me itches burns some I usually put certain essential oils on them early an there gone in 3 days or so but it burns more with the oils at first now I'm putting alovera on them this time I didn't treat an got worse on chest an up neck Every time I want to get shot something happens or I'd get shingles there's a cream Gotchu cream suppose to help ordered some but may be gone before I get cream Having a swollen back disk is way worse for me

My doctor prescribed valacyclovir for my shingles, is this necessary. I took cool showers and vinegar all over my body and ibuprofen 800 mg tablets and it I was very helpful.

Last week I thought I’d pulled a muscle too, I had pain that went around to my pec muscle. On Sunday the rash was discovered. It’s not too painful at the moment and the initial pain in the back was way worse. The rash is now blistering and I have shooting nerve pain down my arm and even my hair and neck hurts to touch on that side even though they’re not affected. I’m hoping the pain doesn’t get worse as I still feel it’s early stages for me :(

Hey . Your comment interests me. Firstly , I hope you're ok. Secondly can I ask you some questions please I had arm pain, in my forearm before the rash. Like an ache , couldn't pick anything up , open a bottle etc. Then got the rash. Rash been gone two weeks but the pain in both my arms is crazy. Doc has said peripheral neuropathy but not shingles related. How's your pain now . Do you still have it in your bicep etc

@@snugxxxh4578 hey. The arm nerve pain diminished for me after the blistering had scabbed over. This could be due to the fact that the Lyrica I had started taking was kicking in. So when the blisters started drying up the peripheral pain had eased in the arms, stomach and hair but the pain where the blisters were massively increased in intensity into a strong burning pain that was unbearable. The rash has mostly cleared up now but you can still see where it was. It’s still a little painful to touch where I had the rash but now it’s just mostly itchiness. I hope you get some relief from you neuropathy soon, I know how awful it is :(

I am in my third month. Two days after getting the vaccine I started to experience stinging on my midriff. I am 89 years old. Many years ago I experienced Bells Palsy from being exposed to sick children. I saw my phycian two days after my vaccine. She said it was NOTHING. I believed her. I suffered so. Worst pain ever. I am almost over the shingles,, but still some pain attackes unexpected. Please think before you get the shingles vaccine!!! I still don't know what to do about my unresponsive Primary.
