Poorly with Shingles : (

[kate H]

Feeling really pants today. Got Diagnoses with Shingles on Tuesday and at that time didnt feel that bad. It has certainly kicked in now. Have been doing so well with anxiety etc but now i feel like i have taken massive steps backwards, im concerned the Shingles has been brought on by stress and people have told me they have suffered with depression afterwards.

If anyone has any adice on Shingles or anything to stop the uncontrolable itching and stabbing pains I would be grateful. Feeling very low today and its the first time in ages.

Ok I asked my Gram about this - being that she is an old farm woman and knows all the odd folk remedies and she said.. eat loads of pears, take either oatmeal or cornstarch baths and apply licorice root to the affected areas.
I sure hope you feel better real soon :)
oh and I am supposed to tell you ...DON'T SCRATCH - lol
