Topic	Man, Shingles sucks!
Dikitain 05/31/20 5:10:47 PM #7:	Update: Feeling pretty good today, spent most of the day wearing a t-shirt, which would have been unheard of just yesterday. Plus I noticed after mowing the lawn the pain reduced quite a bit, so I am going to try exercising more to see if getting the blood flowing helps ease the pain. ChimeraBlue posted... I had always heard that having chicken pox as a child can increase your chances of getting Shingles later in life. Exactly the reason I got it. Had Chicken Pox when I was like 1 or 2, hence why I got Shingles so young (normally you get it in your 50's, I am 36). Clench281 posted... Good luck with valacyclovir. Cheap and highly effective with essentially no side effects That is what the doc put me on, was worried about the dizziness and nausa since I get vertigo easily, but so far no problems (other then the pills being giant 1g tablets). I have been making sure to follow the directions and take it with my meals. Wanded posted... if it persists over a month/comes back regularily and the medical treatment isn't working try a candida diet also get an intake of good bacteria one way or another when taking antibiotics Oddly enough, my diet is already kind of like that and I didn't even know it, LOL. Only real adjustment I would have to make would be less root vegetables (I LOVE carrots). ChaosAzeroth posted... Sis got shingles and said it was the most painful experience. My condolences. Thanks, I believe it. I don't know if it is the worst pain I ever felt, but it is at least top 3. Definitely the worst lingering pain that didn't go away quickly. --- I am a Contract Software Developer. What does that mean? I don't know, let me know if you figure it out. <cite>Dikitain posted [p:939993312] in Man, Shing...
