Shingles question?!


Question:

Shingles question?

Iam now 29 weeks pregnant and about a month ago had shingles for the the first time. It has healed and I no longer take medication for it. But it still hurts all the time. Has anyone ever had this and how long before it quit hurting?

Also I have had a really hard time breathing lately could this also be a side effect since the shingles was on my side were my lungs are?


Answers:

I am healing from shingles right now and I am young (27), mine was stress educed. My dr has me on a very light dose of vicadin that I only take when I need to. But I have learned to do a lot of homeopathic remedies! I use Lysine cream on my skin and it helps me a lot! I also take B-12 daily with Vitamin E.

St. John's wort and horsetail juice help rebuild nerves. Take 1 tbsp. of juice daily.

But you may want a more medical treatment and I have heard Lyrica works too. Check with your Dr if you are allowed to take it pregnant.

Hope you start to feel better!
